The Meghan Markle-Prince Harry Engagement – How the Royal Prince Got Taken & Why There's So Much Tittle-Tattle!

The engagement was announced

It was announced on 27 November 2017 that the couple will tie the knot in May 2018. The official announcement was made to this effect by the Kensington Palace. According to reports, Markle will be baptized and confirmed and will also become a British citizen before getting married.

Why the engagement is controversial

Born to a Caucasian father and an African American mother, the stunning Meghan is best known for her role in the popular TV series Suits. The fact that she was married before to actor and producer Trevor Engleson has been the subject of much controversy and has also made her the subject of significant abuse and harassment. The fact that she is older than him by about three years is another aspect for comment. The couple has had to deal with the racial undertones of media commentary, sexism and racism of social media trolls and more.
