>> reporter: the setting, prince harry's cottage at tensington palace. two rings from his mom, diana, and a center stone from botswana. >> we camped out under the stars. and we had five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic. >> reporter: the american actress was working on the tv show "suits" when a friend set her up with a prince. >> i had never heard about her, until a friend said, meghan markle. give me a bit of background. what's going on here? >> i didn't know much about him. the only thing that i had asked her when she said she wanted to set us up. i said, is he nice? >> reporter: the couple kept their romance private for five months. when the british press found out, they pounced on markel's biracial background. >> it's disheartening. it's a shame that is the climate in this world to focus that much on that. or that would be discriminatory

in that sense. i think at the end of the day, i'm really just proud of who i am and where i come from. >> reporter: and now, a new chapter. the couple will live together in harry's nottingham cottage. the neighbors, prince william, kate and the kids. >> william and i are thrilled. it's such exciting news. it's a really happy time for any couple. and we wish them all the best. >> children? >> not currently, no. of course, you know. i think one step at a time. hopefully we'll start a family in the near future. >> reporter: but first, there's a fairy tale wedding to plan. and we could hear more about those wedding plans later today, including possibly a place, maybe even a date. guys, prepare to clear your calendars. >> they are cleared for march, april, may and june. thank you, kelly. victoria arbiter is back with us this morning. how are you?

>> a bunch of burning questions. we know that easter comes early. kate is expecting in april. so, take out the tea leaves and tell us when you think this might happen. >> the most popular month at the moment, appears to be march. that's for a couple of reasons. the baby is due in april. and the commonwealth have a meeting in england april 16 th. the royal calendar. things don't bunch around. queen victoria thought may was an unlucky month to get married. peter phillips, william and harry's cousin got married in may. march is looking likely. >> none of us have march in the pool. >> we did our picks. you're not liking my late -- my early june pick there. >> early june is a no? >> early june says summer. they said spring. >> technically it's spring. >> sorry, matt. >> don't make me bring al in here. the last time we covered a royal wedding, was a major tv ev

i think so. >> good. >> especially given harry's popularity. since the coronation, every major royal event has been televised. i think there would be an outcry if this one wasn't. the british public was say getting on them because they couldn't have a bank holiday. >> meghan markle is divorced. can she be married in the puchuh of england? does it have to take place in westminster abbey. >> no. but it has to be in church. the queen is devotely religious. >> what about the best man. will it be william? >> yes. >> and what about kate? will she be somewhere? will she be in megahanmeghan's ? >> no. she is the queen concert. she can't be serving somebody else in that

so -- >> that makes sense. >> and how much of a say in all the preparations will meghan and harry have? >> harry and meghan will have more of a say. william was given a list of a bunch of names. and the queen ripped up the list and said, start with your friends. they'll have a say. >> victoria, thank you so much. we'll have more coming up in the next half hour. we'll take a look at meghan markle and her journey from hollywood to the palaces of london. mr. roker, what's shaking? >> we have a long-range london forecast for you. >> how is june looking? >> june is looking late. hey, guess -- it has been hot denver for example, your high set a record. the previous november record was 80. that is 34 degrees above the look at the
