Meghan Markle is one step closer to joining the royal family! The Suits actress and her famous boyfriend Prince Harry had an hour-long meeting over tea with Queen Elizabeth II last Thursday, the Daily Mail reported. The meeting is an important step for Meghan and Harry, who have been dating for over a year and a half now. If Meghan gets the Queen’s seal of approval, she and Harry could get engaged any day now! Click through for all the details on Meghan’s meeting with the Queen.
“Everything about the tea time meeting was deliberately informal, I am told,” royal correspondent Richard Kay wrote in the Daily Mail. “In part it was to settle any nerves Meghan might have felt but also to ensure it was not widely publicized within the palace.”
According to eyewitnesses, a Ford Galaxy with blacked out windows arrived at Buckingham Palace last week and used the Queen’s private entrance. A source explained that this was an unusual choice for the royals. “The royals usually want to make sure they can be seen,” the insider told the site.
Harry and Meghan reportedly then exited the vehicle and were brought up to the Queen’s private sitting room, where they enjoyed tea for nearly an hour with the English monarch, a source told the Daily Mail.

According to previous reports, Meghan had already met Queen Elizabeth at Balmoral Castle over the summer. However, the Daily Mail said that meeting was just between Harry and his grandmother so he could ask the Queen’s permission to introduce her to Meghan.
If this was the first meeting between the Queen and Meghan, it means an engagement isn’t far behind! “It is not a question of if but when,” a royal pal told the Daily Mail.
The two already made their first official public appearance as a couple when they attended the Invictus Games together in Toronto last month. They were spotted laughing and even holding hands at the international event.
