Fans of the pair expecting an engagement announcement this month may have to wait a little longer. 

A source with “excellent contacts in the palace” told the Daily Beast Harry would be holding off on popping the question until the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton gives birth. 

Kate and Prince William announced they were having their third child together in September and the baby is due in April. 

The source said: “There won’t be any announcement until at least after Kate has had her baby in April.” 

They added that even after that, the couple may hold off on the wedding. 

According to former royal chef Darren McGrady Meghan and harry are waiting for another big event in royal calendar. 

He told Hello: “November is the Queen and Prince Philip’s platinum wedding anniversary so they can’t trump that. 

“Whereas December they can announce the engagement and they’d be free to marry next year; I think that’s what’s going to happen.”

While the couple’s engagement is up in the air, the couple have become more public in their displays of affection. 

On Thursday, Harry laid a wooden cross at Westminster Abbey’s Field of Remembrance ahead of Armistice Day. 

Speaking with Matt Weston, a bomb disposal expert in Afghanistan, Harry joked about bring his American actress girlfriend to the event. 

Matt, 28, said: “I took the mickey and asked where his missus as and he said she wasn’t here. 

“I asked if she would come next time because she’s awesome, and he said he couldn’t hide her anywhere, but I said you wouldn’t have to hide her. 

“I would love to meet her – I think she’s brilliant.” 

Professional etiquette coach Meika Meier has stressed the importance of good grooming and regular blow-dries.

The actress will also need to adopt a dress style that suits her. She might want to copy the stylish example set by the Duchess of Cambridge.

In addition to looking their best, members of the royal family have to carry themselves differently to ordinary members of the public.

Meghan will need to perfect sitting tall, maintaining a good posture and not letting her back touch her chair when she is sitting down.

She must never cross her legs, especially when getting in and out of cars, and needs to keep her hands folded in her lap at all times.

If Meghan marries Prince Harry, she might want to adopt the leg slant, which was perfected by Diana, Princess of Wales and Kate Middleton.

Another important skill to master is the regal art of eating.

Meghan will need to use her fork in her left hand and holding the handle of the tea cup at three o’clock.
