On the same day that the royal engagement was confirmed, Meghan revealed to BBC's Mishal Husain how her first meeting with Kate had gone, praising the royals for welcoming her so warmly into the family.

After the couple were asked about Meghan's introduction to William and Kate, Harry said: "What was it like? It was exciting.

"Wonderful," Meghan interjected. "Amazing, as has William as well," Harry agreed. "And then my father as well."
