Following months of speculation, Kensington Palace confirmed this morning that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are engaged, with their wedding set for spring 2018.
Earlier this month, Markle wrapped filming on her long-running legal drama Suits, where she has played paralegal Rachel Zane for seven seasons, and her co-stars have been weighing on her news throughout the day.

Patrick J. Adams, who plays Markle's on-screen fiancé Mike Ross, reacted with some pretty great faux-bewilderment:
Adams followed up his initial tweet with a touching Instagram post later in the day. "Playing Meghan's television partner for the better part of a decade uniquely qualifies me to say this: Your Royal Highness, you are a lucky man and I know your long life together will be joyful, productive and hilarious," he wrote.
Gabriel Macht, who plays Mike's mentor and Rachel's colleague Harvey Specter, also congratulated the couple via Twitter:
Wendell Pierce, who plays Rachel's father Robert Zane, shared an adorable post in which he gave Harry his "TV father's blessing".
Sarah Rafferty, who plays Rachel's close friend and colleague Donna Paulsen, sent her own more opaque congratulatory tweet:
And Suits creator Aaron Korsh posted a sweet Twitter message wishing the couple "a lifetime of happiness" together.
Suits is yet to be officially renewed for an eighth season, but if the show does return, it will be without Markle and Adams, both of whom are reportedly departing after the Season 7 finale. That final episode, which will air on USA early next year, is likely to feature the long-awaited wedding of Markle and Adams' characters, who have now been engaged for several seasons.
