The Prince and Meghan Markle have finally gotten engaged.
Ladies, if you've been dreaming of marrying a prince, one of the last great catches is off the market. Prince Harry has finally put a ring on it, and the winner is actress Meghan Markle. Many people couldn't be happier the pair decided to seal the deal with the actress, but it hasn't come without it's criticism as many are unhappy that she's been divorced. Regardless the Los Angeles born actress will now be an American-born member of the British royal family.
The announcement has been anticipated for some time, but here it is, all official and undeniable:

The wedding will be sometime in spring of 2018. One of the diamonds in Markle's ring belonged to Princess Diana, another is from Botswana, where apparently the couple has casually hung out a lot.
Okay enough of that! Let's get some reactions.
Most people are psyched about one of three things:
1. Meghan Markle is biracial, with a white father and a black mother. That's pretty exciting for the monarchy of England, which has been all white people down the line.
2. She's American. Take that!
3. She's gorgeous and they're gorgeous together.

Downing Street says there are no plans to give Britons a public holiday for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding.
