Twitter reacts to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are officially engaged.

The announcement was made this morning and of course, social media blew up.

There were well wishes for the couple, excitement that an American would shake up the royal family and dread over the impending media circus over the next several months.

We have gathered some of the best Twitter reactions for you below.

Just turned on twitter and it appears Kate Hoey is so stupid they've had to call a royal wedding to distract us all.

Some were devastated that Harry is officially off the market:

As with everything nowadays, Twitter found a way to bring up Donald Trump:

I hope before Meghan Markle said yes she was aware she would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot.

Prince Harry called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named his fiancee, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

Meanwhile, fans of Jeremy Kyle were less than impressed when the show was interrupted by the announcement. Viewers hit out at ITV after the broadcaster interrupted its ad break during The Jeremy Kyle Show to announce the engagement. ITV broadcast a 30-second newsflash this morning with Nina Hossain.
