Shortly after Markle and Prince Harry announced their engagement in November, Kensington Palace confirmed that she would become a U.K. citizen. A spokesperson noted at the time that the process could take years and that it is unclear whether the bride-to-be will retain her U.S. citizenship.

The Los Angeles native and the British prince, 33, have already scheduled an international trip. They are set to travel to Sydney, Australia, in October for the 2018 Invictus Games. They recently attended the U.K. team trials for the multi-sport event, which Harry launched in 2014, at the University of Bath in England.
