The Duchess of Cornwall has described her soon-to-be stepdaughter-in-law Meghan Markle as ‘a star’ following the announcement of her engagement to Prince Harry.

During a visit to Poundbury on Monday Prince Charles revealed that he was delighted about the upcoming nuptials of his son to the US actress and it seems Camilla shares his sentiment.
