A source dished that the couple “could get married somewhere private and elope, rather than have a showy wedding.”

Despite the lack of fanfare in the wedding, Prince Harry could be considering a romantic proposal. One insider added, “My money is on a fall engagement,” adding that the proposal could come as soon as Aug. 4! The proposal would likely make a rather somber month for Prince Harry into a happy occasion, as it is the same month that he lost his mother in 1997.

“He feels getting engaged will lift that gloom forever, because he will be able to associate August with something joyful,” the source said. “He wants to get married and have kids. He’s smitten.”
