Ready for some ROYALLY unexpected romantic news?
According to various outlets, Prince Harry is in a fairly seriously relationship with actress Meghan Markle.
We’ll wait for you to pick your jaws up off the floor before we continue…
The 32-year old member of the Royal family and the 35-year old actress met in May in Toronto when the former was on hand to launch the 2017 Invictus Games.
From there, Markle started following Prince Harry on social media, while also sharing many of her own photos from trips to London and Europe over the summer.
She was not posing with Harry in any of them; nor did she mention the gorgeous Brit by name.
But Markle clearly enjoyed herself on these trips.
“Gutted to be leaving #London – Thanks for a yummy breakfast @anderson_markus @sohohouse,” she wrote as a caption to the following image:
Newspapers in Great Britain say Harry is “besotted” with his brunette beauty.
“He’s happier than he’s been for many years,” a, insider told the Sunday Express and Daily Star, adding:
“They are taking each week as it comes and just enjoying each other’s company, but it’s fair to say that they love seeing each other and there’s a definite chemistry between them.”
Yup, that’s the L Word, folks! This may be serious!
Both Harry and Markle share a passion for humanitarian work.
Earlier this summer, the handsome prince spent nearly three weeks in Malawi, Africa, working there on the 500 Elephants initiative, which successfully moved 261 elephants from the Liwonde and Majete to the new Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve.
(The remaining 239 elephants are scheduled to be moved in the summer of 2017.)
Markle, meanwhile, also visited Africa, going there in 2015 as an advocate for the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women.
During her inspiring trip, the actress met with female parliamentarians and visited the Gihembe refugee camp in Rwanda.
“I’m consistently asked how I keep a foot in two contrasting worlds – one in the entertainment industry, predicated on wealth and indulgence, and the other in humanitarian work,” Markle wrote on her blog just last week.
“To me, it’s less of a question of how can you do this, and more a question of how can you not?”
We can understand what Harry sees in her, can’t you?
Harry has dated such beauties in recent years as Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas.
Markle was previously married to Trevor Engelson before they quietly separated in August 2013 after nearly two years of being husband and wife.
Those who watch Suits online are familiar with Markle for her ongoing role as Rachel Zane, but she has also appeared on such hit programs as Lost, Castle and CSI: Miami.
When reached for a quote on this dating rumor, Kensington Palace told Us Weekly:
“We don’t comment on stories related to private matters.”
Well… we do! And we think these two make a lovely couple!
