Prince Harry 'thrilled' over Meghan Markle engagement

Prince Harry said today he is 'thrilled' to be marrying Suits star Meghan Markle, who showed the world her engagement ring designed by the royal himself containing two diamonds from Princess Diana's own personal collection set in a gold band. The central stone is from Botswana, where they went on safari in September, and the prince proposed earlier this month after asking the Queen's permission. Poignantly the royal chose their first photocall (pictured) in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace in London, much loved by his late mother Diana. Harry and his brother William had white roses planted there in her memory when the 20th anniversary of her death fell in August. The royal looked nervous but happy and his fiancée stroked his arm lovingly as they spoke to reporters, who asked him: 'When did you know she was the one?' and he replied: 'From the very first time we met'. Poignantly the royal chose their first photocall in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace, much loved by his late mother Princess Diana.

Piers Morgan on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry engagement

 Oh thank the Lord! Prince Harry, long time enfant terrible of the Royal Family, has finally made a sensible decision when it comes to his personal life. Yes, His Royal 'Naked Billiards' Highness is at last settling down and getting married.

How Catholic Meghan Markle survived LA parents' divorce

Rachel Meghan Markle was born in Los Angeles on August 4 1981, to clinical therapist mother Doria who she describes as 'free spirited' and TV lighting director Thomas - who she calls 'the most hardworking father you can imagine'. Each day after school, she used to visit the set of the TV show Married...with Children where her father worked. In two photos from her yearbooks (including this one, top centre), Miss Markle is listed as Rachel Markle, as the actress was still using her first name at the time (Meghan is her middle name).

Meghan Markle stuns in white with Prince Harry

Meghan, who today announced her engagement to Prince Harry, looked resplendent in a chic belted white coat dress from Line the Label, which she wore over a £437 dress by Parosh and offset with vertiginous Aquazzura heels as she cosied up to her prince charming. The Suits actress, 36, showcased the stunning ring designed by Prince Harry himself with one stone from Botswana, where he and Meghan recently holidayed, and two diamonds from Diana's personal collection. The ring was made by Cleave and Company, Court Jewellers and Medallists to Her Majesty The Queen. At its centre is a diamond from Botswana, a country that holds special significance for Prince Harry who has visited many times since he was a child. It is also a place the couple has spent time together over the last year and a half. The ring features two outside stones, which are diamonds from the personal collection of Prince Harry's mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. David Allen of 77 Diamonds said a ring of this size and quality would start at around £50,000 but with the use of the late Princess Diana's diamonds as side stones, this ring, like Kate's before it is of inestimable worth. TheDiamondStore.co.uk estimate that the ring cost £199,475 and the stone is likely to be a D in colour (the clearest).

The couple said in a joint statement from Kensington Palace: '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.'

Meghan Markle and Harry will live in Nottingham Cottage

Meghan Markle is set to move into a cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace (inset) with her husband-to-be, Prince Harry. The newly-engaged couple will live together in the modest royal residence Nottingham Cottage (pictured), in the grounds of Kensington Palace. Dubbed 'Nott Cott' by palace insiders, the pair will enjoy their engagement in the pied-a-terre Harry made his bachelor pad some four years ago - before which it was Prince William and Kate's first marital home. Nottingham Cottage is something of a starter home ideal for the newlywed couple - a two-bedroom property boasting rooms designed by Sir Christopher Wren, a couple of snug reception rooms and small yard. Self-contained, cosy and private, it is the smallest abode in the 17th century estate, and formerly the home of Prince Philip's private secretary, Brigadier Sir Miles Hunt-Davis, and his wife Gay. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also lived in the cottage before moving in to the 20-room Apartment 1A inside the palace - and Prince William famously had to stoop to avoid hitting his head on the low ceilings of the historic property. But when Harry made it his bachelor pad in 2013, the first thing he reportedly did was install a hammock in the yard.
