Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Engaged: The Best Comedy Reactions To The Royal News

LOADINGERROR LOADING

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle cheered the nation up on a gloomy Monday morning with the news that they are set to marry after getting secretly engaged earlier this month.

The congratulations immediately rolled in from across the globe for the pair, who are set to tie the knot in the spring.

Clarence House released a statement saying the couple got engaged in London earlier this month.

Of course, social media went into overdrive upon hearing the news...

The timing does seem...interesting

Of course, there’s still the most pressing issue to be addressed

To be fair, Brexit doesn’t seem to be going that well

I personally think it’s v selfish of Prince Harry.
We could have married him off to a Belgian princess as part of the Brexit deal.

Come to think of it, we could’ve sworn we’ve seen this film before

I can't believe a woman from Suits getting engaged to Prince Harry is real life and not the plot of a Katherine Heigl film, what a time to be alive

I WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT I, LIKE PRINCE HARRY, AM ALSO ENGAGED in a constant struggle to stay awake

Uh oh

We have infiltrated the Royal Family. This is not a drill. Plan Empire Strikes Black is a a go. I repeat, this is not a drill. Please put on your Sunday best & prepare for the National Cookout. #RoyalEngagement.

Easily misheard

Glad to hear Prince Harry is doing his bit to smooth over Brexit negotiations by offering to marry Angela Merkel. This is canon now.
