Clarence House announced on Monday morning that Prince Harry is to marry his girlfriend Meghan Markle. Markle is a 36-year-old actress from Los Angeles and has been dating the prince since the summer of 2016. She is most recognized for her role in legal drama “Suits,” but also had roles in “Get Him to the Greek” and “Horrible Bosses.” The Toronto-based star is also a Global Ambassador for World Vision and has campaigned for the UN. The couple is set to wed next spring. They put their engagement rings on display at Kensington Palace on Monday just hours after their engagement was announced. The royal family — including Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles, and Prince William and Kate Middleton — issued statements expressing their delight. Markle’s parents — Thomas Markle and Doria Ragland, who split when she was a child — also said they were “incredibly happy” about the engagement. And royal mania certainly extends across the pond; many celebrities, including Markle’s “Suits” co-stars, are offering the happy couple their congratulations as well. (SD-Agencies) |
