Congratulations are in order for one soon-to-be Royal Auntie, Meghan Markle!
After much anticipation, American actress Meghan Markle and Prince Harry of Wales announced their engagement earlier today. Now, it's on to the wedding planning, which we hope includes supporting roles by Prince Harry and Meghan's Royal Prince Nephew George and Her Royal HighNiece Princess Charlotte.
But Markle, the soon-to-be appointed Duchess of Sussex, is no DebutAunt-to-Be. Meghan is a proud Auntie by Choice to her best friend Jessica Mulroney’s daughter, Isabella, and twin boys, Brian and John.
And Prince Harry is a perfect match for Markle's Savvy Auntitude, being the proud uncle of his brother and sister-in-law's royal offspring, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. According to
The Daily Mail, Prince Harry says of his nephew and niece: “they are the most amazing things, ever.”
With his experience this past spring in his Auntie Pippa's wedding party as ringbearer, we think Royal Nephew Prince George is up for the role at his Uncle Harry's wedding. And we hope to see Markle's little Royal HighNiece Princess Charlotte and Markle’s goddaughter join the ceremony as flower girls.
The wedding is set to take place spring, by which time, there should be a
new little royal niece or nephew in tow. Prince William and Duchess Kate's third child is due this April, although the due date has yet
to be officially revealed. Presumably, the newborn royal will be too little for a role in the nuptials.
Markle’s young nieces and nephews won’t be the only ones involved in her big day. According to
Express.com, Markle’s role as a lawyer on USA network’s Suits is inspired by none other than her own niece, Ashleigh Hale. “A fully-qualified associate at BWW Law Group in Richmond, Virginia, [Hale] is an inspiration for the American actor’s high-profile role, according to the family," the UK media site reveals.
Not only are Markle and Hale auntie and niece, but they are fellow BenevolAunts. Markle is well-known for her
charity work, and supports her niece in doing the same. Hale does pro bono work and raises money for Gray Haven Project to help end human trafficking.
A source told Express.com that “the pair are good friends as well as relatives,” and that “if Meghan does marry Prince Harry then Ashleigh will definitely have a starring role in the ceremony.” Well, there you have it!
Congratulations, Meghan and Prince Harry!
