LONDON — One of the world’s most eligible bachelors is officially off the market.
Britain’s Prince Harry is engaged to American actress Meghan Markle, royal officials announced Monday.
The wedding will take place in the spring. The venue was not immediately revealed but a statement said more details would be announced "in due course."by RACHEL ELBAUM
This bit of social puffery about an anitquated monarchy is still news of some impact for Earth Prime-Time. Meghan Markle has inabited Toobworld with quite a few characters in her relatively short career.*
In the fictional realms created by the gestalt of Mankind's imagination, we probably haven't seen anything like this since the 1950s, when newsreel footage of Grace Kelly as she became the Princess of Monaco shared the Cineverse with the characters she played in the movies like Margo Wendice ("Dial M For Murder"), Lisa Carol Fremont ("Rear Window"), Tracy Lord ("High Society"), Frances Stevens ("To Catch A Thief"), and her Oscar-winning turn as Georgie Elgin in "The Country Girl". (Of course in the Cineverse, Amy Fowler Kane of "High Noon" died many decades before.) And Miss Kelly also contributed many Toobworld characters as well with roles in quite a few anthology series of the 1950s.
The characters played by Ms. Markle are distributed throughout the greater TV Universe, with one of them in the "near future". (It could be that her character of Natasha in 'Century City' isn't even born yet!) Her various TV movies could be found in Earth Prime-Time, but sometimes it's better to just send such one-offs to Motwan Toobworld, the TV Terra of the "Movies Of The Week.

With her guest star role in an episode of 'Castle', Ms. Markle has representation in the 'West Wing' dimension. However, I'm not sure still that the Royal Family is the same one as in the Real World and in Toobworld. Their Queen Elizabeth might be the same regent to be found in an episode of the second incarnation of 'The Human Target'.
The one character played by Ms. Markle who will have the biggest impact of all the Toobworld women who look like the future wife of Prince Harry will be Rachel Zane of 'Suits'. With 103 episodes to her credit, Rachel Zane will be the character most likely to cause confusion in the post-cancellation "after-llife" of Toobworld should be mistaken for the future Royal. (That is if she survived the series; I don't follow 'Suits'. Her character may perish by the time it's run its course. So you might think that; I couldn't possibly comment.....
One note of interest among her roles in Toobworld, Ms. Markle played a woman who was also named Meghan in a first-season episode of 'The League'. No last name was given, so it's pozz'ble, just pozz'ble, that she was actually playing her own televersion in that episode. Perhaps one day I could use that in combination of any other appearances she makes as herself in TV sitcoms, dramas, or in prime time soaps as her future father-in-law did when he stepped into the Rover's Return Inn on the corner of 'Coronation Street' for a quaff. (Her future mother-in-law got behind the bar to pull a pint, but that could have been just for publicity's sake and the televised footage on the news probably belongs in the "Behind The Scenes" TV dimension of Toobworld-Toobworld.)
At any rate, I wish them both well and I trust her acting career gave Ms. Markle some preparation for what she's about to go through.
BCnU!
O'Bservations:
Markle's first role as Jill in an episode of 'General Hospital' was in 2002, so she was acting on TV for fifteen years. (Not sure yet if the IMDb is correct that an episode of 'Suits' in which she appeared will still be televised in 2018.)
