Sorry, folks. The ship has sailed because this prince charming finally met his Cinderella. The ginger prince proposed to his American TV actress girlfriend after a year and half of dating.

We’ve got the scoop on their “sweet and romantic” engagement. No more rumours, because this time IT’S FOR REAL!

Here are 5 things you need to know about the recent royal engagement.

1. The official statement from Kensington Palace

Kensington palace officially released a statement on Monday. The statement reads,

“His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms. Meghan Markle. His Royal Highness and Ms. Markle became engaged in London earlier this month.

“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.”

 

2. Sweet, romantic, and natural

In an interview, Meghan revealed that Harry got down on one knee and proposed to her during their “roasting chicken” cozy typical night at Kensington Palace’s Nottingham Cottage. Meghan described the proposal as “sweet, romantic, and natural”. 

 

3. Prince Harry designed the ring himself!

Rumour has it that the diamond engagement ring was designed by Prince Harry himself. The center stone is a diamond from Botswana while the two outside diamonds are from his late mother, Princess Diana’s collection.

 

4. The Sweet PDA in their interview

The couple presented themselves to the world with a photocall and 20-minute television interview at Kensington Palace and the public display of affection says it all. They are IN LOVE. #Feels

 

5. The Royal Wedding we are all waiting for!

 The royal wedding will officially take place in Spring 2018. So we’ve got something to look forward to next year. Hopefully not long after their marriage, we could see a new royalty too 😉
