Britain's Prince Harry is engaged to his US actress girlfriend Meghan Markle with the marriage due to take place in the spring of 2018, his father Prince Charles announced in a statement on Monday.

In a series of tweets from Kensington Palace's official account, it was revealed that the couple got engaged in London earlier this month. The couple who has been dating for 16 months, will do official photocall at the Palace in the afternoon (GMT) and they will also do an official interview about the announcement.

The statement released from Clarence House, Prince Charles' abode, revealed that Prince Harry asked Markle's parents for their blessings. 

Prince Harry's brother and sister-in-law, Prince William and Duchess of Cambridge Katherine Middleton, also released a statement congratulating the couple.

"We are very excited for Harry and Meghan. It has been wonderful getting to know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together," read the statement.

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip wished the couple happiness and said that they are delighted for the couple.

Wishing them 'a lifetime of happiness,' Markle's parents released a statement which read, "We are incredibly happy for Meghan and Harry. Our daughter has always been a kind and loving person. To see her union with Harry, who shares the same qualities, is a source of great joy for us as parents."

In an interview with Vanity Fair in September, Meghan had revealed that the couple is really happy. "It’s really simple. We’re two people who are really happy and in love," she said.

 The couple made a first official public appearance together for this year's Invictus Games. The relationship became public in last November when the prince issued a rare warning to the media to leave his 36-year-old girlfriend and her family in peace, reflecting his own battles with the press.
