Congratulations.

I thought she was Canadian? Given they both like spending time in Canada and America I like the idea of the Royal Wedding being held in Ottawa with the possibility of Prince Harry being Governor-General of Canada for 5 years in the future. It's been done before.

As is tradition, both will be given titles in the form of Dukedoms (normally) on the wedding day. Rumours are that Prince Harry will choose the Dukedom of Sussex (she'd be then known as the Duchess of Sussex) but who knows? Could be anything.

I've wondered why Edward was only an Earl. From what I've read it turns out that it seems they wish for him to inherit the title of Duke of Edinburgh.

Happy for them both, nice to see his bachelor days are finally over. Future generations of the monarchy seem pretty secure at steady at the moment.

I had read that apparently Prince Edward was a fan of a TV show in the 1990s which had the title Earl of Wessex and wanted to go by that, and you're right that the intention is for the Duke of Edinburgh title to go to Prince Edward when Prince Philip dies.
