Royal Palace staff 'have been briefed about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement in secret meeting

Buckingham Palace staff were briefed on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement in a secret meeting yesterday, a royal source has revealed.
The Queen was reportedly at the meeting in person as staff were told the couple plan on having a non-traditional wedding.
The source told the Daily Star that Harry and Meghan could make an official announcement at any time up until the New Year.
The source said: 'They are engaged but they are trying to sort a few things out now, like house hunting for a retreat and other things.

It will be up to them to decide when to announce it as they want to do it their own way, which Her Majesty agrees with.'
Kensington Palace has refused to comment on the matter.
Social media has already gone into overdrive amid claims Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could announce their engagement any day now.
Royal wedding fans are glued to news websites, TV, Twitter and Facebook, waiting to hear that the fifth-in-line to the throne has proposed to his actress girlfriend.

Sources had claimed that the announcement could come today and has led to feverish excitement online about a new royal wedding.
MailOnline can also reveal there are 11 good reasons why Prince Harry, 33, and Meghan Markle, 36, are likely to announce their engagement imminently, especially because the American-born divorcee appears to be moving to London.
Bookmakers have stopped taking bets on the couple getting married and say there has been a sudden burst of wagers on a May wedding.
