Prince Harry proposed to Meghan Markle during a cosy night in over a roast chicken.
In their first joint television interview, the happy couple revealed how Harry got down on one knee to pop the question and how Markle could not wait to say "yes".
Ms Markle is a 36-year-old actress, born in Los Angeles, and is well known for her role as Rachel Zane in the popular US drama 'Suits'.
She's set to become the first American to marry into the Royal family since 1937.
She was born to a mother of African-American heritage and a father of white heritage and has sent social media users into a frenzy with the prospect of a mixed-race princess.
"Guys, a [sic] American Black Woman is bout [sic] to be a Princess. No one can touch my joy today," one Twitter user wrote.
While British pop singer Leona Lewis was delighted to see a mixed-race princess.
"So happy to see a mixed race princess to be [Royal]," Ms Lewis wrote.
"Congrats Harry & such a beautiful couple, a real representation of our Great Britain today. Many happy returns ," she added.
Last year, Kensington Palace was forced to release a statement to condemn "the racial undertones of comment pieces" as Prince Harry and Ms Markle developed their relationship in the public eye.
The majority of social media users were overwhelmingly positive with the engagement announcement and were in admiration of Ms Markle.
This included Britain's Next Top Model's first transgender contestant Talulah-Eve Brown and actor Wendell Pierce who plays Ms Markle's television father in Suits.
The Royal wedding is expected to take place in Spring 2018.
