Prince Harry, Meghan Markle release official engagement photos

To mark Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement, Kensington Palace, on Thursday, released the royal couple's official portrait photographs.

The pictures have been shot by Alexi Lubomirski - a former assistant to Vogue favourite Mario Testino, who took Prince William and Kate Middleton's first official images.

Kensington Palace captioned the picture, "Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle have chosen to release this official portrait photograph to mark their engagement. The photograph was taken by photographer @alexilubomirski earlier this week at Frogmore House, Windsor."

In one image, the 'Suits' star holds Prince Harry's face, and in the other she sits just below him on the steps of Frogmore.
