Meghan Markle and Prince Harry engagement announcement is 'imminent', claim reports

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement is reportedly set to be announced “imminently”.

Speculation of a major royal announcement has been rife and bookmakers have now suspended betting on the potential wedding.

There have been rumours that Prince Harry had proposed to the 36-year-old actress and the BBC are also reportedly primed for a Royal announcement.

The pair have been dating since last summer and 36-year-old Markle is rumoured to be moving to the UK after quitting the hit US show, Suits.

Markle is believed to be moving her dogs to the UK with claims that she is looking to settle in London, according to the MailOnline.

The news comes as Prince Harry, who is fifth in line to the throne, has been unveiled as one of the guest editors of one of BBC Radio 4's Today programme’s Christmas specials.

A spokesman for Kensington Palace said: "Prince Harry is grateful to have Today's considerable reach to shine a spotlight on a number of issues that are close to his heart.

"He is working closely with Today's team to produce segments on a range of topics, including youth violence, conservation, and mental health."
