LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Harry is engaged to his U.S. actress girlfriend Meghan Markle with the marriage due to take place in the spring of 2018, his father Prince Charles announced in a statement on Monday.

 

Harry, 33, currently fifth-in-line to the British throne, and Markle, 36, best known for her role in the U.S. TV legal drama "Suits", became engaged earlier this month, the statement issued by Clarence House said.

 

"Prince Harry has informed Her Majesty The Queen and other close members of his family. Prince Harry has also sought and received the blessing of Ms Markle's parents," the statement said.

 

The couple met in July 2016 after they were introduced through friends.

 

The prince publicly confirmed their relationship months later in a rebuke to the media, which had been intruding into Markle's private life, but it was not until September that they made their first public appearance together at the Invictus Games in Toronto, a sports event for wounded veterans.

 

"We are incredibly happy for Meghan and Harry. Our daughter has always been a kind and loving person. To see her union with Harry, who shares the same qualities, is a source of great joy for us as parents," Markle's parents Thomas Markle and Doria Ragland said in a statement.

 

"We wish them a lifetime of happiness and are very excited for their future together."

1 She is older than the Prince(36 and he is 33) 2 She is a American 3) She is divorced.  I thought a potential bride for a Royal was someone younger, British and never have been married.

It turns out Markle is a distant relation of Prince Harry. (Really.) How very Appalachian! 

The British Royals ARE German:

 

Battenberg cake and  Saxe-Coburg (House of Hanover)..

 

But marrying an American divorcee fails to impress.

 

I can't wait to see a Markle cake ?

The plot thickens with matzoh meal!

Apparently Markle's father is Jewish. 

So she's kind of sort of an AA - J.A.P. (African-American Jewish American PRINCESS)? She's definitely a cornucopia of diversity. Congrats!

But like Tevye the Dairyman said, it’s a new world. And Meghan Markle, should an engagement prove imminent (and that seems to be the general consensus), a plucky Jewish-African-American actress, will be the face of it. We may live in interesting times, but not everything interesting has to be bad."
