Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are engaged and their wedding is to take place next year!
Born in Los Angeles, USA, actress Meghan Markle is to marry Prince Harry, fifth in line to the royal throne of England.
Earlier in the day, Prince Charles announced the engagement of Prince Harry to Meghan. The tweet said that the couple will wed in Spring 2018.
36-year-old Meghan is also an activist and an entrepreneur -- she has founded The Tig, a lifestyle brand that explores people's interests in food, travel, fashion and beauty.
Like the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, she's a commoner.
Here's some interesting info about the beautiful lady who's said to have captured Prince Harry's heart.
1. She has a heart of gold
Instead, she chooses to 'feed her soul' working as a United Nations Women's Advocate for World Vision. Through her career, she's campaigned for free water, gender equality and women's rights.
In the picture above, she is seen sharing a smile with the children at Rwanda, East Africa, where she volunteered at a refugee camp.

8. Amazing social skills
Meghan is seen here in a candid conversation with Canadian PM Justin Trudeau.
Given her artistic talent, and her social and networking skills, it's more than likely that she will impress the Queen, if she becomes the newest member of the British royal family.
