Meghan Markle 'touched' by London's warm welcome

Now that she is engaged with Prince Harry, former "Suits" actress Meghan Markle was reportedly enjoying her time in London, and at the same time, she says she has felt the warm welcome of the people.

A US Weekly source revealed that the 36-year-old actress, who moved to London to be with fiancé Prince Harry, had felt the hospitality and warm reception of the people, describing the citizens as "supportive" of the soon-to-be bride. "The overall reaction has been really warm. She has been really touched by the incredible reception. Everything is still really new," the insider added.

The source also revealed that the most of the wedding preparations would start after the holidays as Markle was still enjoying her time in London. But, before the couple gets busy with the planning for the royal wedding, which is set in May 2018 at Windsor Castle's St. George's Chapel, another source claimed that the pair would go on an escapade to relax and to take some time off their busy schedules.

Prior to their engagement announcement, Markle was heavily rumored to be leaving her legal drama series "Suits," where she played Rachel Zane since it aired in 2011. This news came after many saw her filming a wedding scene with onscreen partner Patrick J. Adams, who plays Mike Ross. At the time, Adams was also rumored to be exiting the show so he could focus on other creative pursuits.

When the American actress and the 33-year-old prince made their engagement announcement in November, the USA network announced that Markle would not be joining the "Suits" cast for season 8, confirming the aforementioned rumors.

However, Aaron Kosh, creator of the series, clarified that Markle's character was actually written out of the show a year ago, even when engagement rumors were nowhere on the horizon. Kosh said he already had a wind that the blossoming romance of their series star with the prince would further develop.
