Prince Harry, fifth in line to the British throne, will marry American actress Meghan Markle in the spring, royal officials announced Monday, confirming months of speculation. The couple posed for photographers on the grounds of Kensington Palace hours after their engagement was announced by Harry's father, Prince Charles. Harry's brother, Prince William, and his pregnant wife Kate welcomed Markle to the royal family. "It has been wonderful getting to know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together." In some ways, Markle — a mixed-race American raised in California, an outspoken full-time actress, and a divorcee — makes a surprising addition to Britain's monarchy.
