The Birmingham Palace announced the US actress, Meghan Markle, and 33-year-old Prince Harry were engaged and due to marry in Spring earlier Monday morning.
The couple have been dating over a year and their engagement was imminent for several months.
But who was Meghan first married to before she laid her eyes on the royal heartthrob?
Meghan met movie producer, Trevor Engleson, in 2004 and they began dating. The couple were together for six years before getting engaged in 2010.
They celebrated their wedding at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios in the Caribbean in front of about 100 guests.
One said: “The ceremony was over very quickly, in about 15 minutes. Then everyone hit the dance floor. It seemed they all just wanted to party.”
But despite their romantic wedding, the couple separated after two years and were divorced in August 2013.
Meanwhile, after months of speculation, the Royal Family announced Monday morning that Harry and Meghan are getting hitched.
The statement from The Clarence House read: “His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms Meghan Markle.
