Speculations about Markle and Prince Harry possibly tying the knot soon started popping up again after the actress' rumored meeting with Queen Elizabeth II.
According to Us Weekly, the prince and Markle went to Birkhall in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, to visit his father, Prince Charles, and stepmom Camilla. A source told the publication that Prince Harry had two reasons in mind for planning the trip, the first being "he hadn't been up yet all summer," and the second one being to introduce his girlfriend to the queen.
The couple reportedly visited Queen Elizabeth II in her castle in Balmoral one day after their arrival at Prince Charles' place in Birkhall. According to the source, the said meeting might just be the first of Markle's many future encounters with the queen.
"It'll no doubt be the first of many encounters," said the source, who later on added: "The entire weekend was a success. He was able to introduce someone he loves to someone he cares for deeply."
The public has yet to hear any official word from the couple regarding their rumored engagement.
