Meghan Markle spotted Christmas shopping in London

Yesterday it was reported that Prince Harry's girlfriend Meghan Markle was in London after she was reportedly spotted at Heathrow airport.

And now the MailOnline can confirm that the actress, 36, is in the UK after she was photographed shopping in the capital as she prepares to spend her first Christmas with her prince. 

Wearing shades, Meghan looked stunning in tight black jeans, boots, a grey jacket and matching wrap-around scarf, as she was seen leaving a Heidi Klein designer beachwear store, possibly hinting at a winter holiday in the sun.

The store is next to department store Peter Jones, on the Kings Road, which is an old stomping ground for potential sister-in-law Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. 

Meghan was clutching a £2,000 Prada handbag and a shopping bag from Sarah Chapman, which specialises in skin care.

Meghan's arrival in the UK comes as speculation mounts over an imminent engagement between Meghan and Harry.  

In fact, some Royal watchers believe the Meghan and Harry, who confirmed their long-distance relationship a year ago, are already secretly engaged - and wedding bells are just around the corner.

It has been rumoured that 36-year-old Meghan is in London making final preparations for her permanent move across the Atlantic to set up home with Harry, 33, along with her beloved dogs, labrador/shepherd mix Bogart and 17lb beagle Guy.

The American actress has just finished filming her seventh and final season of the US legal drama Suits, in which she stars as lawyer Rachel Zane, in Toronto. Meghan's body double sparked mass excitement juts days ago when she posted a cryptic Instagram post.

Nicky Bursic - who has been Meghan's stand-in on Suits for two years - posted a goodbye and congratulations message to the star on the social network that fans have taken of proof that both Meghan has quit Suits and that she is engaged to the royal.

'It's been an absolute pleasure and honour being your 'STAND-IN' for the last 2 seasons,' Nicky wrote. Though I've been on @suits_usa for 6 years, the latter 2 has been my most memorable. Wishing you all the happiness in the world Bella. She added a love heart emoji and one of a champagne glass toast alongside some highly revealing hashtags. '#youdeserveitall #loveher' she completed the post with.

The couple gave the biggest hint yet that an engagement announcement is imminent when they made their first official public appearance together at the Invictus Games in Toronto at the end of September. The pair put on a loved-up display, flirting and holding hands as they watched wheelchair tennis.

Within hours of the couple stepping out together bookies Ladbrokes suspended betting on an imminent announcement of an engagement.
