OH SHIT IT’S REALLY HAPPENING: Clarence House, the official spokespeople for the British royal family, have confirmed that loveable ginger rapscallion Prince Henry of Wales (a.k.a. Prince Harry) is engaged to American actress/angel Meghan Markle.
They’ve said that the wedding will take place in spring 2018, which means we’ve got at least four months of blissful pre-wedding gossip to look forward to – what’s she gonna wear! Who’s gonna cater it! Where will it be held! (A big church, right? It’s gotta be a fucken massive church.)
According to the statement, the couple have received the Queen‘s blessing (aww!) and Harry has asked for, and received, the okay from Markle’s parents as well.
It also says that the pair will be living together alongside Prince William and co. at Kensington Palace, in a place called Nottingham Cottage, which you just know is bigger than your local high school. We’re thrilled for them, obviously, and so is everyone else:
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge said of the engagement:
‘We are very excited for Harry and Meghan. It has been wonderful getting to
know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together.’— The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) November 27, 2017
I’m absolutely delighted to hear the news that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now engaged. I wish them many years of love, happiness and fulfilment – and ask that God blesses them throughout their married life together.
