Anyone who knows me well knows that I am legit losing my shit and genuinely cannot contain my excitement about the official news. Like, everyone's engagements or weddings from now until whenever Harry and Meghan get married are just irrelevant. Sorry.

Kensington Palace released an official statement regarding the couple's engagement via the office of Prince Charles. In the formal announcement, Clarence House said that the fanciful couple became engaged earlier this month (YUP we knew they were just hiding it), and that Queen Elizabeth II has given the couple their blessing and consent to marry. The royal family also took to Twitter to express their excitement about the news.

The royal nuptials are scheduled to take place in Spring 2018, which to me means April since that's when William and Kate were married. And if NOT April, then like by June and def before July. The royal wedding turn-around is REAL ya'll.
Once the newly royals are wed, they will officially seek residence in Nottingham Cottage on the Kensington Palace estate.
So, today we're joining the world in celebrating exciting news while we all await the next big royal wedding. And in doing so - here are our five reasons why Prince Harry's impending marriage to Meghan is literally THE BEST NEWS EVER.
God, I hope she wears Alexander McQueen...like Kate and well, Serena Williams. Lol.
REASONS
1. THEY'RE SO IN LOVE
Like have you SEEN a more in love couple?! Though William and Kate shared a long-time admiration for each other that began during their collage days, Meghan and Harry's kinda random meeting and whirlwind romance reeeally makes you believe in (or want to believe in) head-over-heels romance. Like this is a whole new definition of waiting for prince.

2. MEGHAN IS AN AMERICAN MARRYING INTO THE ROYAL FAM
That's right! Not only is this just a BIG deal for England it's also a BIG deal for the US as well because Meghan will be the FIRST American to casually, emphasis on casually, marry into the British royal family and become part of the monarchy. I meaaaan HELLO - THIS IS HISTORY PEOPLE.

3. MEGAN IS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALE MARRYING INTO THE ROYAL FAM
Meghan is literally the new definition of #BlackGirlMagic. The actress is bi-racial - her mother being African American and her father being Caucasian. Not only will Meghan make history as the first American to marry into the British royal family, she will also be the first AFRICAN AMERICAN just in the monarch like EVER. THAT'S FREAKING NUTS YALL. Meghan is basically Grace Kelly and Obama rolled into ONE and I can NOT deal with it because I love it SO MUCH.

Literally CANNOT wait to see MAMA MARKLE in the wedding carriage with the QUEEN!! IT'S A BIG DEAL YALL.
Side note: If you actually didn't know that Meghan was half black theeen you need to READ THIS incredibly heart felt essay Markle wrote for Elle UK in 2015 about being bi-racial and what it means today.
And if you want to know more about WHO Meghan is - READ THIS. Yes, I wrote it. LOL.
4. MEGHAN IS OLDER THAN HARRY
So, even though Meghan is only three years older than Harry - this is a serious wake up call for girls everywhere who are constantly worried about age when it comes to dating. So, take a tip from the newly engagement couple - AGE IS JUST A FREAKING NUMBER! And if you happen to be older than your Prince Charming - WHO CARES!
5. THEIR FUTURE ROYAL BABIES
OMG. Don't even get me started on how BEAUTIFUL Megan and Harry's babies are gonna be. It's gonna be EPIC. UGH, I wish Diana was here for this. The fact that we can even say that there's going to be adorable racial ambitious babies in the royal family is just amazing. Like imagine little quarter black babies with Meghan's freckles and Harry's red hair running around the Kensington Palace grounds! I'M DEAD.
And let's just be real, she's gonna be like an unreal mother.
Welp, that's all I have to say about all of that - FOR NOW. Until 6pm that is when the newly engaged couple will make their debut on the BBC for their royal wedding interview.
STAY TUNNED!
Until then, if anyone needs me I'll be drinking champ for the remainder of the day in honor of the newly engaged couple while trying to book my flight to England for next Spring. Who's coming with?!!!
BEST. MONDAY. EVER.
