The 36-year-old actress has been dating Prince Harry since mid-2016 and according to Tatler magazine fashion director Sophie Goodwin, the style-conscious beauty has all of the necessary attributes to join the royal family.

She told PEOPLE: "Meghan has all the makings of a princess."

In recent months, there have been persistent rumours that the flame-haired Prince is poised to propose to Meghan.

And he has already introduced the brunette beauty to his grandmother Queen Elizabeth, after they returned from their three-week trip in Botswana and Zambia in early September.

A source said at the time: "Harry decided to take Meghan to visit as he hadn't been up yet all summer.

"He wanted to introduce Meghan to the queen. It went well. It'll no doubt be the first of many encounters. The entire weekend was a success. He was able to introduce someone he loves to someone he cares for deeply."

Meanwhile, it has also been reported that Meghan has asked the Duchess of Cambridge to be her maid of honour.

Meghan has not yet been asked by Harry to have her hand in marriage, but the actress has already started to put plans in place for her big day, including inviting Duchess Catherine - who is married to Harry's older brother Prince William - to be her chief bridesmaid.

According to the report, Meghan sent her soon-to-be sister-in-law a rose gold diamond bracelet, which is believed to have cost Meghan over £1,000, alongside a note asking Catherine to take on the important role.
