The wedding will take place in spring 2018. Further details will be announced in due course.”

Both Harry and Meghan were introduced through a mutual friend. Britain’s Prince Harry and US actress Meghan Markle in an interview on Monday said that heir relationship had blossomed “incredibly quickly” after meeting on a blind date. After just two dates, the couple decided to go on holiday together to Botswana but it was only months later that the prince, the younger son of Charles and his first wife Princess Diana, publicly confirmed their relationship in a rebuke to the media over its alleged intrusion into Markle’s private life.
