Meghan looked resplendent in a chic belted white coat dress from Line the Label, which she wore over a 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 $90,000 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 $350,000 and the stone is likely to be a D in colour (the clearest).

EXCLUSIVE: Body language expert Judi James tells MailOnline she believes 'informal, confident' Meghan is running the show while offering reassurance to camera-shy Harry, who involuntarily mimics his father's 'anxious' hand gestures. Clockwise from top left: Harry's 'paperclip hand' which betrays his awkwardness; Meghan putting a reassuring arm around her fiancé's back; stunning actress is always camera-ready thanks to her red carpet appearances; Meghan's easy confidence will be a 'breath of fresh air' for the Royal family; posture shows 'casual' Meghan is in no rush to show off her diamond sparkler; and Harry pats his pocket, an 'anxious' gesture he's inherited from his father.

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). Miss Markle was also once a 'briefcase girl' - one of the models who hold the suitcases full of cash - on the US version of Deal or No Deal (right).

Charlotte Hall, 27, from Kent, was so self-conscious she shunned socialising and didn't have a boyfriend until she was 24. She tried antibiotics and even the controversial drug Roaccutane but to no avail. Then she found a cream which is said to kill the bad skin bacteria that causes acne without harming good bacteria. She says 'getting rid of my acne has literally opened up a whole new world to me'.

Don Burke has admitted to an extraordinary list of personal failings but denied dozens of sexual harassment allegations against him in a TV interview. The former host of Burke's Backyard is accused by more than 50 women of indecent assault and making lewd comments over his program's 17-year run. But in a Monday night interview with A Current Affair the 70-year-old admitted he was a terrifying boss, had multiple affairs, and suffered from Asperger's. However, he strenuously denied 'all that sleazy sexual stuff' and described his accusers as 'malcontents' who 'bear grudges against me'. Despite being grilled over the allegations by Tracy Grimshaw, who asked why so many woman would make up lies about him, Burke claimed he would never have said or done the 'despicable' things he was accused of, and said he was confused by the claims. 'It's the social media, the Twittersphere thing. I guess they've stirred this up, the Harvey Weinstein thing, and we've got a witch hunt,' he said.

Collected from the vast corners of the internet, these are the moments, like this one pictured, where a human's ability to prank really does shine.

People from around the world have been sharing images in an online gallery that requires a double take - including some very rude optical illusions.

A nine-year-old Australian boy may be growing the country's longest and most inspirational mullet. Baird Garrett, from the coastal town of Onslow, in Western Australia, has become something of a local celebrity with his incredibly long locks, which he is growing for charity. The youngster has been growing his mullet for the last two years, with plans to cut it all off in September 2018 to make wigs for children who have lost their hair due to illnesses such as cancer. After being stopped for a selfie with his impressive mullet, Baird decided to begin charging for a photo. At $5 a selfie, the young entrepreneur has plans to raise $24,000 for children's charity Variety.

These photos reveal the unluckiest things that have ever happened to people. Some even end up in hospital due to the ill-fated incidents, while others are more minor but are just as annoying. They include: a woman getting a whisk caught in her jumper; an entire jar of chilli flakes on a single slice of pizza; a father accidentally shot by his son with an arrow while practising archery; a young teenager who fell through the ceiling into the parents' living room; a woman whose shoe got stuck in a grate; and diaper rash cream on a toothbrush instead of toothpaste.

A sign written completely in Mandarin out the front of a new $35 million apartment complex has been covered up with black garbage bags and tape, just a day after it sparked controversy. The large sign out the front of the recently completed apartments on Cliff Road in Epping, in Sydney's north, caused a stir over the weekend for being completely written in a foreign language. Developers of the five-storey apartment block admitted the sign and other symbolism inside the complex was a deliberate tactic to target Chinese investors, claiming it made the building more 'spiritual'.

Alexander Newley told a Sunday newspaper that his famous father was a paedophile who considered innocence to be 'an aphrodisiac'. But Dame Joan, 84, said the claim about her ex-husband was 'absolutely untrue'. She told Good Morning Britain: 'I think that Sacha's being extremely naive and not really knowing the meaning of that word because what Tony admittedly was, is he loved young women and young women of 17, 18, 19 years old. Not children by any means. 'Never in a million years would I have been married to somebody like that.'

IVF couples who made the difficult yet generous decision to gift leftover embryos to infertile strangers have shared their stories - but some endings were far happier than others. Australian mother-of-two Natalie Parker is a startling example of how this game of trust can go horribly wrong, 60 Minutes found.

Bumble designed its new headquarters, in Texas, specifically for women.
