Meg and Harry all loved up

LONDON

BRITISH tabloids are abuzz after Prince Harry was spotted holding hands in public with girlfriend Meghan Markle – the first time the pair have been seen hand-in-hand.

And reports quote friends who say the actress has “virtually moved in” to Harry’s cottage at Kensington Palace, with the couple “inseparable” for the past five weeks.

According to The Sun, one friend said: “Meg is not filming in Toronto at the moment so she is free to spend all her time with Harry.”

This week the couple went for dinner at Soho House – the private members’ club in West London where Suits star Meghan and Harry met through a mutual friend last year.

An onlooker said: “They tried to keep as low-key as possible and were in a small snug area of the restaurant. But it wasn’t a private area and they were happy to be seen.”

Apart from a few engagements abroad, American divorcee Meghan, 35, and Harry have been staying together since the end of last year.

The friend added: “They’ve taken things to the next level. They’re practically living together.”

Harry, 32, whisked Meghan away to Norway after they saw in the new year in London. The prince hired a £2000-a-week lodge in the Arctic Circle to see the northern lights.

But the friend said the couple had since stepped things up and suggested they had even spoken of marriage.

The friend added: “I can see them engaged by spring ... he’s head over heels and they can’t bear to be apart.

“She’s said she’s ready to give up acting and move to London. He wants to start a family and so does she.”
