Kensington Palace confirms in an unprecedented statement that they are dating. Markle is spotted in London amid unconfirmed reports she is enjoying her first stay at Kensington Palace since the relationship was made public. Markle reportedly meets the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Charlotte for the first time in London.
The engagement looks set when Markle graces the cover of US magazine Vanity Fair and speaks openly about Harry for the first time, revealing: Markle makes her first appearance at an official engagement attended by the prince when she attends the Invictus Games opening ceremony in Toronto, Canada — although the pair sit about 18 seats apart. It emerges that the prince has taken Markle to meet his grandmother, the Queen, whose permission they need to marry. They met over afternoon tea at Buckingham Palace. Markle is spotted in London, prompting speculation she is preparing for an engagement announcement.
The couple marry before a celebrity-studded congregation at St George's Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
After getting fired from her job as a maid at a ritzy New York City hotel, Allie reluctantly accepts a temporary gig as the governess to a young girl who is part of a powerful family in Europe that lives in a castle.

Markle majored in international relations and theatre at Northwestern University, Illinois. Besides becoming an actor, she became a feminist who worked for UN Women as an advocate for political participation and leadership. Even when she makes staunch political statements, her manner astutely — sometimes cloyingly — balances the forthright and the pleasing.
The Cinderella story refuses to dwindle into a period piece; in the last 20 years alone there have been six film remakes with white, black and Latina leads. But Markle has not been plucked from poverty or — like the heroines of such romcom adaptations as Pretty Woman and Maid in Manhattan — from the low-status toil and trouble of working-class life.
But so can the fortunes of a wife. If the royal marriage were to end in divorce, Markle would not have to depend on the Windsor millions nor, like many once-upon-a-time celebrities, design a skincare or jewellery line for QVC.
But is Markle automatically marrying up by marrying a prince? In the old school way, yes: But Harry is marrying up too. We always ascribe social ambitions to commoners, but aristocrats have their own longings for a world elsewhere. Harry is marrying into all the possibilities of postmodernity.
When speaking of her role on TV series Suits , as the biracial lawyer with a black father, she said: Well, now there are a lot of us on your TV and in your home with you. How would a global marketer for the royal family describe their marriage? Charles is not going to help the royal brand become fresh and contemporary. William and Kate are contemporary royals — unpretentious, decent and likable.
But they do not suggest risk or daring. Today the House of Windsor is like a venerable and all too predictable fashion house. Its cultural currency depends on history packaged as costume drama: To flourish it must attract new designers, new ideas and new muses.
And let me end my fashion analogy by noting that in March this year, Virgil Abloh, a Ghanaian American designer, was named artistic director of menswear for Louis Vuitton, a fashion house founded in when Queen Victoria was on the throne and the royal family had yet to be rebranded as the House of Windsor. Perhaps a better genre through which to read the complexities of the Meghan-Harry narrative is the romantic comedy.

In the best romcoms, attraction is ignited by tension and difference. The characters have to learn something from each other and something about themselves; negotiate across troublesome boundaries gender and class privilege, temperament , and learn to take emotional risks.
Reformation followed in three stages, each appealing to a different constituency. He served in Afghanistan. Finally, there came his involvement with Markle. A professional woman, an educated woman, a year-old divorced American woman, a woman of colour and a feminist whose presence in his life would soon require that he forcefully denounce racism and sexism in the British press and, I trust, among his more un-woke friends and relations.
In show business she worked her way up. She had a social conscience, which she acted on. And now, she is more famous and more influential than she was ever likely to be on her own.
It remains the way of the world. Does Amal Clooney have more resources as a human rights lawyer and philanthropist now that she is married to George Clooney? Whatever we think of her new job requirements, Markle will remain a working woman with a lifetime of public performances ahead.
Every word, every gesture, every detail of dress will be scrutinised and read for subtext. The touches of white on her navy J Crew coat? A tribute to the British suffragettes. Bare legs instead of tights for the engagement photos?
