Prince Harry Is About to Announce His Engagement to Meghan Markle

Price Harry, who looks nothing like his father or older brother but suspiciously like his mother’s lover James Hewitt, is expected to announce his engagement to Meghan Markle, star of the USA law drama Suits soon.

The couple have been dating for about a year and a half, and have reportedly asked the rest of the Royal Family to choose a date that would be convenient for them to announce their engagement.

Here’s a bit of interesting lore for you about the Royals, both of which you’ll know if you’ve been watching The Crown on Netflix. King Edward VIII was forced to abdicate the throne after marrying an American divorceé, Wallace Simpson. The Queen’s sister, Princess Margaret, was unable to marry the man she loved, Peter Townsend, because he was divorced. These were both, at the time, huge scandals that rocked the nation. And now, just over 80 years after King Edward’s abdication, his great grand-nephew is marrying an American divorceé and no one cares at all. King Edward will either be smiling upon their union or they’re going to have to take out poltergeist insurance on Buckingham Palace.

I suppose it helps Harry that Prince Charles, Princess Anne and Prince Andrew are all divorced as well. His uncle Edward is the only person in that family other than his grandmother who has been able to keep a marriage together.

Once Harry and Markle are married, they’ll be given a peerage, probably the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and they’ll have one job, which will be not embarrassing Harry’s brother William by doing something stupid like wearing a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party or running around Las Vegas bare-ass naked. In other words, there will be a bit of a learning curve.
