Prince Harry and Meghan Markle make first appearance after engagement
Britain's Prince Harry and the American actor Meghan Markle have made their first public appearance since their engagement was announced earlier Monday.
The couple appeared at a photocall in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace in London on Monday afternoon, where Harry told reporters he knew Markle was "the one" from "the very first time we met."
The Prince declined to elaborate on his proposal to Markle, but when asked whether it was romantic, he smiled and said, "of course it was."
What happened to "actress"?
Does it survive only during awards ceremonies?
Will it be replaced by "female actor," which is what it means, or just "woman" and "female"?

In an article for Elle UK in 2015, Markle wrote about the difficulty of forging a career as a biracial actor.
(Her mother is African-American and her father is Caucasian.)
"Being 'ethnically ambiguous,' as I was pegged in the industry, meant I could audition for virtually any role," she wrote.
"Sadly, it didn't matter: I wasn't black enough for the black roles and I wasn't white enough for the white ones, leaving me somewhere in the middle as the ethnic chameleon who couldn't book a job."
She spoke highly of the producers of "Suits" who "weren't looking for someone mixed, nor someone white or black for that matter. They were simply looking for Rachel."
MSNBC says she is a divorcee, too.
Somebody hire a barber for the palace, please.
