Prince Harry and Meghan Markle news: Are they engaged after their trip to Victoria Falls?

Tuesday, August 19: 9:55am

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle travelled to Livingstone in Zambia at the end of last week after spending two weeks in Botswana. 
Their trip will finish at Victoria Falls, which are one of the seven ‘natural wonders’ of the world. 
Prince Harry, 32, and actress Meghan Markle flew to Botswana three weeks ago on her 36th birthday to enjoy seeing the wildlife and have taken a water safari on the Okavango Delta.

 

Prince Harry, 32, Meghan Markle, 36, and their rumoured engagement are the words on everybody’s lips right now. 

The couple have been dating since last year, but following their recent getaway to Africa together rumours they could be set to wed have been escalating. 

Many people have drawn similarities to the time Prince William proposed to the Duchess, Kate Middleton in Kenya. 

As well as being the place where William proposed to Kate, its the destination the brothers and their father, Prince Charles, flew too after their mother, Princess Diana, died. 

He has called it the place “where I feel more like myself than anywhere else in the world” and where he has an “intense sense of complete relaxation and normality”. 

According to Vogue, William Hill “is no longer offering odds on whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will get engaged”. 

Instead, bets on what year the royal wedding will take place are being called. 

Friends of the pair have claimed the engagement is official

A source told the Daily Star Sunday Prince Harry popped the question to the Suits actress while the couple were camping in Botswana

They said the helicopter pilot prince flew Meghan out to the top secret site before proposing under the stars. 

Rather than a ring, harry reportedly chose Zulu betrothal bracelets, an updated version of those currently worn by the couple as a symbol of love. 

The source said: “The world is watching, so the royal red tape needs to be adhered to.

“Meghan won’t be landing at Heathrow with a giant rock on her finger.

“Harry’s told his friends he’s hoping to make the official announcement in September. 

“The setting and the bracelets were just so special to Harry.”
