On 8 November 2016, Kensington Palace confirmed that Harry was "a few months" into a relationship with American actress Meghan Markle, in an official request from the prince for the "abuse and harassment" of Markle and her family to end.
In September 2017, they made their first public appearance at an official royal engagement, the opening ceremonies of the Invictus Games in Toronto.

On 27 November 2017, Clarence House and Kensington Palace announced that Harry and Markle were engaged.
The engagement announcement prompted much comment about the possible social significance of Meghan Markle becoming a mixed-race royal.
The couple married at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, on 19 May 2018.

The Duke and Duchess initially lived at Nottingham Cottage in London, on the grounds of Kensington Palace.
The couple later moved to the more than two-centuries-old Frogmore Cottage in the Home Park of Windsor Castle.
The Crown Estate refurbished the cottage at a cost of £2.4 million, paid out of the Sovereign Grant, with the couple picking up expenses beyond restoration and ordinary maintenance.
Their office was moved to Buckingham Palace.
In June 2020 the Duke and Duchess bought a house on the former estate of Riven Rock in Montecito, California for $14.6 million.

On 6 May 2019, the couple's first child Archie Mountbatten-Windsor was born, who is seventh in line to the throne.
