Official photographs to mark the engagement of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been released by Kensington Palace and it’s nothing less than a fairy tale. The couple looked ofcourse royal and deeply in love.

Palace sources said Meghan and Harry paid for it privately, not from official royal funds.

The black and white image of the smiling couple was shot in the grounds of the house and shows Markle in a white sweater holding the prince's face, with her engagement ring prominent.

Second photograph is more formal and shows the couple hand in hand on the steps of Frogmore.

New York-based Mr Lubomirski is a former assistant to Mario Testino, who created some of the most famous images of Prince Harry's mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. He said, “It was an incredible honour to be asked to document this wonderful event, but also a great privilege to be invited to share and be a witness to this young couple's love for one another. I cannot help but smile when I look at the photos that we took of them, such was their happiness together,” BBC reported.

The couple will get married in May 2018.
