Prince Harry to marry girlfriend Meghan Markle next year
BBC, Nov 27, 2017
The prince, fifth in line to the throne, will marry Ms Markle in spring 2018 and they will live at Nottingham Cottage in Kensington Palace, London.
The couple, who have been dating since the summer of 2016, secretly got engaged earlier this month.
Prince Charles said he was "thrilled" with his son's news, which he announced on Twitter, adding that Ms Markle's parents had given their blessing.
Only the Queen and "other close members of his family" initially knew of the engagement, which took place in London, Prince Charles said.
***
Prince Harry, 33 and Ms Markle, 36, made their first public appearance as a couple in September at the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games, a sporting event set up by the prince for injured, wounded and sick soldiers.
Their married home will be the prince's current residence, Nottingham Cottage, on the grounds of Kensington Palace - where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, also have an apartment.

They look very happy together. But maybe the queen should consider a good stylist as an engagement present for the bride-to-be. :pondering:

For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons:
so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands:
yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.

In 1917... after his cousin Tsar Nicholas II was forced by revolutionaries to abdicate [Tsar Nicholas was murder by Bolsheviks in 1918]... British King George V changed his German name to Windsor.
In 1937 pro-German King Edward VIII abdicated the British throne to marry an American divorcee.
Now British Prince Harry will marry a half-black American divorcee raised Catholic.
There is a huge historic irony in all that mess.

Nice to see the British, at least, have grown up when it comes to race and divorce.

Harry is already 5th in line to the throne and is about to drop lower after Kate delivers again. He's got zero concerns for abdication.

LOL. Yeah. The people who still have a Monarchy are all growed up.

She’s a beautiful woman who hit the jackpot on a blind date—-marriage to a prince. Good for her.
I’m looking forward to the wedding preparation news and the dress and things like that.

Sucks to be a loser. Donny was one of the best votes I ever made.

I hope they will be happy. I hope Elizabeth is happy that her dear grandson is happy.
I don't get into the Royals significantly, but I do enjoy when things go well for them.

Yep she seems like a nice woman. Not happy when she left her old dog in the States. She could have found a way to get him over there.
Our fur babies would never be left behind.

I read somewhere the royal family generates more money for the economyt--tourism, etc.--than it uses.
I like Harry. I think he'll make a good father.

Riddle me this:
Media call Barack Obama, black father/white mother, the "first black president." But media call soon-to-be-royal Meghan Markle, white father/black mother, "mixed-race" or "bi-racial."
Why?
