This is for us. It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours. But we’re happy. Personally, I love a great love story.”

Markle, moved to London early November after wrapping up her seventh and final season of Suits.

The actress was previously married to actor Trevor Engelson from 2011 to 2013.
