LONDON: Meghan Markle, the American actress who is engaged to Britain’s Prince Harry, has a new namesake after London zoo named a just-born Okapi after her in honour of her wedding in May. The zoo is hopeful that it will be a friend for their male, named Harry. Meghan the Okapi was born on December 9, 2017, to Oni, in a roughly 30-minute labour captured on camera by zookeepers. Researchers cited by the San Diego Zoo estimate that around 25,000 Okapis remain in the wild. Markle is due to wed Prince Harry, fifth in line to the British throne, in May of 2018.
