Prince Harry is believed to announce his engagement to actress Meghan Markle imminently, according to a Daily Mail report on Thursday.

Betting groups have suspended betting on when the highly anticipated royal wedding will take place, after it was rumoured the BBC would make an announcement.

An online betting company told the Daily Mail, "Royal watchers would love a Christmas engagement announcement, and as far as we're concerned it's coming imminently."

Harry reportedly had a crush on Markle for two years, and finally arranged a meeting through a mutual friend in 2016. Numerous photographs and videos of the couple have surfaced, including one where the two were spotted kissing at a sporting event in September.

Harry made the leap and introduced Markle to the Queen at Buckingham Palace in October, the Daily Mail reported.

Markle is believed to have moved out of her home in Toronto, according to the Daily Mail, and is planning to move to London with her dogs.
