Prince Harry and Meghan Markle news latest update: Couple to be engaged after THIS event?

Prince Harry, 33, and Meghan Markle, 36, have fans waiting on tenterhooks as to if and when they will get engaged. 

Many have predicted the young prince to get down on one before the end of the year and sources close to the couple have revealed the same. 

The couple appear to be getting more and more serious by the day, with rumours Meghan is about to quit suits after filming for season seven finishes. 

It has also been claimed the Toronto-based actress has plans to move to the UK which will mean she will be closer to Harry. 

But fans of the pair expecting an engagement announcement this month may have to wait a little longer. 

A source with “excellent contacts in the palace” told the Daily Beast Harry would be holding off on popping the question until the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton gives birth. 

Kate and Prince William announced they were having their third child together in September and the baby is due in April. 

The source said: “There won’t be any announcement until at least after Kate has had her baby in April.” 

They added that even after that, the couple may hold off on the wedding. 

According to former royal chef Darren McGrady Meghan and harry are waiting for another big event in royal calendar. 

He told Hello: “November is the Queen and Prince Philip’s platinum wedding anniversary so they can’t trump that. 

“Whereas December they can announce the engagement and they’d be free to marry next year; I think that’s what’s going to happen.”
