Kensington Palace has released official photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to celebrate their engagement.
An informal black and white picture shows the couple, who got engaged last month, in a romantic pose.
The second, more formal picture, shows them sat together holding hands.

The pictures were taken earlier this week at Frogmore House in Windsor by fashion photographer Alexi Lubomirski.
He said: "It was an incredible honour to be asked to document this wonderful evening, but also a great privilege to be invited to share and be a witness to this young couple's love for one another.
"I cannot help but smile when I look at the photos that we took of them, such was their happiness together."
The tradition means they have followed Harry's parents, who released their engagement photos in 1981, and his older brother William, who released images with Catherine in 2010.
Harry and Ms Markle announced their engagement after months of speculation, and will be married in Windsor in May next year.
The couple met through a mutual friend and bonded over a shared love of humanitarian work.

Speaking about the moment he proposed in an interview last month, Ms Markle, 36, said she was so excited, she barely let him finish before she asked if she could say yes.
She said: "(It was) just an amazing surprise, it was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee.
"As a matter of fact I could barely let you finish proposing, I said - 'can I say yes now'?"
Harry, 33, asked Ms Markle's parents for her hand before he proposed.
The American actress has been welcomed into the Royal Family quickly, joining the Queen for the annual Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.
She will also be spending Christmas with the Royals, as a guest of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Harry and Ms Markle have set the date of 19 May for their wedding, which has presented an awkward diary clash for his older brother, as it is the same day as the FA Cup final.
Prince William, as the chairman of the FA, is meant to be on hand to present the winners with their cup.
Few details of the day have been released yet, but the couple are keen to make sure the public can be involved in some way.
