Looks like we have another royal wedding on our hands.
Prince Charles this morning announced the engagement of his son, Prince Harry, to former 'Suits' actress Meghan Markle.
In a statement released from Clarence House, the Prince of Wales said he was "delighted" to announce the engagement, which took place earlier this month.

The soon-to-be princess and prince will be married in spring 2018, with an exact date to be announced "in due course".
Kensington Palace, the residence where the couple will live from now on, issued a series of statements, including one from Markle's parents who are "incredibly happy for Meghan and Harry".
"Our daughter has always been a kind and loving person," they said. "To see her union with Harry, who shares the same qualities, is a source of great joy for us as parents.
"We wish them a lifetime of happiness and are very excited for their future together."
