WEDDING

COUNTDOWN!

R

umours of a pre-Christmas ring

reveal are looking more likely

than ever for Meghan Markle

and Prince Harry – with news the

actress has left her role on Suits!

Meghan is set to film her final

scenes in Toronto next month, after she told

bosses that she would not be returning

to play Rachel Zane for an eighth season.

‘Meghan loved playing Rachel and feels she

owes so much to Suits,’ a palace source spills.

‘But Harry can’t move to Toronto, so she’ll have

to move eventually if they want to be together.’

It’s the strongest sign yet an engagement

announcement is imminent, as she prepares

for royal life. The hints have been flying thick

and fast since Meghan, 36, and Harry, 33, made

their first public appearance as a couple at

the Toronto Invictus Games last month.

Now that Meghan’s set to live in the UK, the

loved-up pair are looking for a place to settle

down. Until now, they’ve set up their digs at

Harry’s Kensington Palace apartment, but

royal sources say Harry has been hunting for

a love nest in Oxfordshire in the Cotswolds.

A friend of Harry’s confirms he had been

‘vaguely’ looking for a house in nearby Norfolk

before he met Meghan. ‘Now with her input,

he’s renewed his search,’ the pal explains.

Things have been ramping up since Meghan

and Harry’s August trip to Africa, fuelling

rumours the prince may have secretly popped

the question on their romantic holiday.

And we won’t have to wait much longer for

the big announcement, according to former

royal staffer Darren McGrady, who is certain it

will be made public in December. ‘Meghan can

join the royals at Sandringham at Christmas

because she’ll be engaged and part of the fold.’

Whileithasn’tbeeneasyforhertogiveupthe

biggest acting role of her life, Meghan’s looking

forward to devoting more time to philanthropy.

‘She really enjoys her charity work with UNICEF

and will broaden out her charity commitments

when she becomes a full-time royal,’ a pal tells.

THE SIGNS

Hot on the heels of

their African vacay,

Meghan confirmed

her relationship

with Harry. ‘We’re

two people who

are really happy

and in love,’ she

told Vanity Fair.

Just like Duchess

Kate did before her

engagement to

William in 2010,

Meghan now has

her very own car

and driving escort

for zipping around

her new UK home.

In a major move for any royal,

Harry brought Meghan

A pal reveals that Meghan’s

mother Doria ‘was bowled over

by how down-to-earth and

humble’ Harry was when they

met at the Invictus Games.

There’ll hortage of

famous neighbours if the

duo move to the Cotswolds,

including the Beckhams, Kate

Moss – and Prince Charles!
