While the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh have wished them "every happiness". The pair were set up by friends on a blind date in July 2016 Harry - who's 33 and fifth in line for the throne - confirmed the relationship months later in a rebuke to the media who he felt had been intruding into 36-year-old divorcee Markle's private life.
Harry is himself no stranger to appearing in the papers - having attracted a number of negative headlines in his youth.
But it appears the Prince, who previously served in the military and created the Invictus Games for wounded service personnel, is settling down. He says he designed the engagement ring, which includes two diamonds from the personal collection of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales.
The wedding will take place in Spring next year.
