AceShowbiz - Like most British royal family members, Prince William is happy for his brother Prince Harry's engagement to Meghan Markle. But turns out the Duke of Cambridge has a personal wish now that Harry is betrothed to marry the American actress.
"We're very excited and delighted for them both and wishing them all the happiness in this very exciting time," William told reporters during a royal visit to Helsinki, Finland on Wednesday, November 29.
He jokingly added then, "And for me personally, I hope it means he stays out of my fridge and will stop him scrounging my food, which he's done for the last few years."
The father of Prince George and Princess Charlotte went on wishing happiness for the happy couple. "It's a fantastic process to go through-the engagement and then the buildup to the wedding," he said. "They've got a lot of happy times ahead of them. I think they're very caught up in the moment and I wish them all the happiness and success in planning the wedding. I hope it goes really well."
Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton previously said in a statement responding to Harry and Meghan's engagement announcement, "We are very excited for Harry and Meghan. It has been wonderful getting to know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together."
The Duchess of Cambridge also said during a visit to London's Foundling Museum on Tuesday, "William and I are absolutely thrilled, it's such exciting news. It's a really happy time for any couple, and we wish them all the best and hope they enjoy this happy moment."
Meanwhile, William and Harry's stepmother Camilla commented on the engagement, "America's loss is our gain. And we are all absolutely delighted. As you can see, they're so happy. Sometimes, you know, in a climate where we're surrounded by a lot of bad news, it's a real joy to have a bit of good news for once."
Harry and Meghan are set to tie the knot at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle in May 2018.
