His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms. Meghan Markle. The wedding will take place in Spring 2018. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course. His Royal Highness and Ms. Markle became engaged in London earlier this month.

It was designed by Prince Harry and featured three diamonds: one centre stone from Botswana and two flanking it from Princess Diana’s personal collection.
