LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Harry and his American fiancee Meghan Markle have released a series of portraits by New York-based fashion photographer Alexi Lubomirski to mark their engagement.

Lubomirski, a former assistant to Mario Testino, famed for his photos of Harry's mother Princess Diana, took the pictures this week at the royal retreat of Frogmore House, near Windsor Castle, west of London, where the couple are due to marry on May 19.

 

"I cannot help but smile when I look at the photos that we took of them, such was their happiness together," Lubomirski said.

 

Queen Elizabeth's 33-year-old grandson, Harry, fifth-in-line to the throne, and Markle, 36, who stars in the U.S. TV legal drama "Suits", announced their engagement last month.

OH Lord.

Congrats I guess. I honestly don't understand the interest or fascination in "royalty". But I do hope they have a wonderful life together. I think this is the Prince who served in the military. That's nice.

Prince William also served in the Military.   He was a pilot in the Royal Air Force for 7 years.  Prince Harry served in the Army for 10 years.

I do wonder at the wisdom of making this so public, assuming they are really "in love". Most of us have been there and done that; it's difficult enough making it work in private.

Both Princes served in the military, William in the RAF and Harry in the Army. Their father, Prince Charles served in the Navy, Uncle Andrew served in the Navy, Fleet Air Arm. Prince Edward tried for the Royal Marines but failed.

 

It is a family tradition on the male side.
