Could there be a sniff of another royal wedding in the air?
If the latest pictures of Prince Harry and actress Meghan Markle wearing matching bracelets together are anything to go by, a regal romance may be on the cards.
But while the 35-year-old is a familiar face as character Rachel Zane on the hit US drama Suits, how well do we really know her?
Here are 7 things you probably didn’t know…
1. She’s a committed humanitarian, devoted to Africa.
It’s an interest she already appears to share with Harry, who has recently spent time in Malawi.
Her passion was ignited after her parents exposed her to extreme poverty in countries such as Jamaica as a child, and she has since campaigned against modern slavery and travelled to Rwanda for the Clean Water Campaign.
It probably gave the pair quite a lot to talk about when they met – reportedly while he was promoting the Invictus Games 2017 in Canada, in May.
2. Gender equality is also a top priority.
Thanks for having me! Was such a joy to be a part of it and meet so many inspiring women xx https://t.co/74sJ0XREzo

Another cause she has fought for since childhood, when she was enraged by sexist comments from her classmates.
Even then she wrote to the then First Lady of the United States, Hillary Clinton, and now works with United Nations Women.
3. She. Loves. Dogs.
Harry wouldn’t be the only man in her life, and would have to be prepared to share the top spot with her dogs, Bogart and Guy.
Even her pets are glamorous!
4. She also loves food, fashion and travel.
As well as her acting job, charity work and taking care of the dogs, she still finds time to (literally) feed her personal passions and founded the popular lifestyle blog thetig.com.
It’s generated 106,000 followers on Instagram and 11,000 on Twitter. We only wish we had that many people interested in our mealtime snaps…
5. She’s been married before.
In September 2011 she married film producer Trevor Engelson, but the pair divorced just under two years later.
She keeps her romantic life pretty separate from her social media presence.
6. She didn’t always plan to be an actor.
Born in Los Angeles to a clinical therapist mother and TV lighting director father, Meghan had a varied background.
She studied at a girls’ Roman Catholic college before graduating from Northwestern University School of Communication in 2003, just as her acting career was beginning.
Her first TV role came when she featured in an episode of the medical drama General Hospital in 2002, before moving on to roles in CSI, Without a Trace and Castle.
7. She knows that she’s about.
Combining a super glamorous lifestyle with serious humanitarian work might be tricky for many of us to get our heads round, but Meghan seems to have it down.
In her own words: “While my life shifts from refugee camps to red carpets, I choose them both because these worlds can, in fact, coexist. And for me, they must.”
Sigh, #lifegoals…
