DUBAI: Britain’s Prince Harry is engaged to his US actress girlfriend Meghan Markle with the marriage due to take place in the spring of 2018, his father Prince Charles announced in a statement on Monday.
Twitter erupted at the news, with congratulations pouring in from the likes of David Cameron and Westminster Abbey’s official Twitter account.

Lesser-known tweeps and companies also took to the Internet to share their joy — and despair — that the country’s most-eligible bachelor is now off the market.

The prime minister's office also got involved in the good cheer.
