Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal engagement was announced yesterday, there is little else everyone is talking about.
Like the rest of us common people, celebrities and public figures from all over the world are sending wishes to the royal couple after they made their first public appearance yesterday for a photo-op and interview.
Barack and Michelle Obama who are known to enjoy a warm relationship with Harry said that they were “delighted” to learn of the engagement. The Obamas have personally attended several editions of the prince’s Invictus Games for wounded service members, most recently in Toronto in September where chummy pictures of Harry and Obama sparked talk of a “bromance” between the pair.
“Michelle and I are delighted to congratulate Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their engagement. We wish you a lifetime of joy and happiness together,” Obama tweeted.

Markle has been an outspoken critic of Obama’s successor Trump, and at one point vowed to leave the United States for Canada if he won the election.
Meghan who is part of the hit TV series Suits also received a lot of love from her fellow co-stars and team.
Patrick J. Adams who plays Markle’s love interest in the series tweeted: ”Playing Meghan’s television partner for the better part of a decade uniquely qualifies me to say this: Your Royal Highness, you are a lucky man and I know your long life together will be joyful, productive and hilarious. Meghan, so happy for you, friend. Much love.”

Britain’s royal family announced on Monday that the one-time playboy royal would marry his American actress girlfriend early next year, confirming months of speculation.
The royal wedding is to take place in the spring, after which the newlyweds will live at Nottingham Cottage in London’s Kensington Palace, where William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, also reside with their children. Meghan has officially moved from Toronto to London.
In the couple’s first interview after their engagement was announced, they revealed that they knew little about each other when they were set up on a “blind date” by a mutual friend in July last year.
