Speaking about Harry and Thomas' meeting, Meghan's brother Thomas Markle Junior, told the DailyMail.com: "'My dad knew about [the relationship] from the start.

He said: "They're extremely happy together, they look great together and she's done good.

"She's very much in love and she's obviously happy because if she wasn't happy, she wouldn't be there.

"I think it is wonderful. As long as he takes care of and loves Meg, he doesn't have to do anything else - although I would like to shake his hand and meet him."
