Wedding bells are in the future for Prince Harry and his girlfriend of over a year, Meghan Markle.
Clarence House, the official residence of the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall (aka Camilla Parker Bowles) announced the news.

The Prince proposed earlier this month and has informed the Queen and the rest of the royal family of the good news. Once they pair marry, they will be the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The wedding will take place in the Spring of 2018, around the same time Royal Baby #3 is due.
Later today, the couple will take their photos and also do an interview. Harry asked Markle's parents for permission, and they are, obviously, thrilled with the news. They released this statement:

The Royal family is equally thrilled and made their happiness known via social media posts.

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.'

Markle, a 36 year old American actress known for her role in Suits started dating the 33 year old Prince back in the Summer of 2016. It is believed they met in Toronto, where Markle was living for a time.
Interesting. Finding love. In Summer '16 in Toronto. Is there a Drake connection here?

Both William and Harry ended up settling down with commoners, is interesting to note. These aren't the Royals from their parent's or grandparent's time.
Markle is the first American to marry into the Royals since 1936, when Edward VIII gave up the throne to marry American divorce Wallis Simpson. She's also of mixed race, a divorce herself and is independently wealthy.
Cute Destiny's Child "Independent Woman".

Congratulations to the happy couple! I'm looking forward to staying up all night to watch this affair unfold.

To celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday, Buckingham Palace released this adorable photo showing 4 generations of royalty.
However, no one can get past Prince George.
ISN'T HE THE CUTEST!?!
Sources say it was shot last year in the Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace.

Kate Middleton is Pregnant!

All the baby rumors swirling around the royal couple since they've been hitched have now been confirmed!
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a baby!
In a press release, the Palace says:
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby.
According to E!
The palace says that Middleton is in the "very early stages" of her pregnancy, however, and today was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in London due to suffering hyperemesis gravidarum—in other words, acute morning sickness. She's expected to remain in the hospital for just a few days and will rest at home after.
In fact, it's believed that the royal mama-to-be has not yet hit the 12-week mark, but was forced to announce the pregnancy owing to her hospitalization.
"The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news," the palace said.

Now the papz will be going baby crazy and I can't wait to check out Middleton's maternity style.
Twitter's been abuzz about baby names and one tweet that caught my eye was what if the couple have a baby girl and name it Diana. If the couple does have a daughter and they name it after the Prince's late-mother....there could be another Princess Di!

15th Anniversary of Princess Diana's Death

I can't believe it's been 15 years.
I was at my aunt's house when I heard the news, and I didn't believe it.
Such sad news.
I wonder what the late-Princess would say about Will and Kate's marriage and of course, Harry's antics in Vegas.
