Prince Harry is engaged to Suits actress Meghan Markle, Kensington Palace announced in a statement Monday.
The wedding will take place in the spring. The venue was not immediately revealed with royal officials saying more details would be announced "in due course."
Harry’s brother, Prince William, married Kate Middleton in April 2011 at Westminster Abbey while his parents, Prince Charles and Diana Spencer, tied the knot at St. Paul’s Cathedral in 1981.
Harry's grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, said they are "delighted for the couple and wish them every happiness."
Markle, 36, is three years older than Harry, and is divorced.
Friends introduced the couple in July 2016, but their relationship remained a secret for several months.
Markle stars in the TV drama "Suits," now in its seventh season on the USA cable network. The show is filmed in Toronto, and Harry, who served two tours of Afghanistan with the British army, has visited her there several times.
Rumors of an engagement have been swirling since the couple made their first appearance together in September at the Invictus Games, the prince's sporting tournament for injured or sick veterans. At the closing ceremony, cameras caught the prince giving Markle a kiss on the cheek.
