Shortly after they met, Markle started to follow Prince Harry on his private social media account, and reports claim that he is “besotted” with the actress.

"He's happier than he's been for many years," a source told the Sunday Express. "They are taking each week as it comes and just enjoying each other's company, but it's fair to say that they love seeing each other, and there's a definite chemistry between them."

Markle shared several photos from her London vacation over the summer, including one outside Buckingham Palace.

The rumored couple also shares a love of humanitarian work. The prince spent nearly three weeks earlier this summer in Malawi, Africa, where he worked to move 261 elephants from the Liwonde and Majete to the new Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve. Markle also spent some time in Africa, where she worked as an advocate for the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, also known as UN Women.

The palace declined to comment to US Weekly on the rumored romance.

“We don’t comment on stories related to private matters.”
