![Prince Harry and Meghan Markle engaged to marry in 2018](http://web.archive.org./web/20171127165942/http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/11/27/14/article-5111813-46BCDFF000000578-96_964x502.jpg)
Prince Harry said 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, 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'.
