Ahead of that, there has been plenty of reaction from their families. Here's how their nearest and dearest celebrated Harry and Meghan's engagement....
The Prince of Wales' statement said that Charles was ''delighted'' to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms. Meghan Markle while the Instagram pic used is enough to bring a tear to even the stoniest eye. How proud can a dad look?

Once Charles had made the official announcement, Kensington Palace took over with the social media updates and they ended with a tweet on behalf of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in which they spoke of their excitement and happiness for Harry and their soon to be sister in law.

PM - I would like to offer my very warmest congratulations to HRH Prince Harry and Meghan Markle upon their engagement.— UK Prime Minister (@Number10gov) November 27, 2017
This is a time of huge celebration for two people in love. On behalf of myself, the Government and the country, I wish them great happiness for the future.
Let's get official now. The Prime Minister, Theresa May, issued a statement on behalf of herself, the goverment and the whole country. Theresa spoke of huge celebrations, love and great happiness for the future. Seems mean to remind her at this point that she has no majority and the spring is a long time away....
I’m absolutely delighted to hear the news that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now engaged. I wish them many years of love, happiness and fulfilment – and ask that God blesses them throughout their married life together.— Justin Welby Ù† (@JustinWelby) November 27, 2017
One person who will definitely be at the Royal Wedding, well, probably is the Archbishop of Canterbury. Justin Welby has been consulted on whether divorcee Meghan can have Church of England wedding and he's more than happy to say yes. He was also quick to offer congratulations to the couple, wishing them a life of happiness together. And so say all of us.
