Meghan Markle has been "accepted" into the British royal family.
The 35-year-old actress has only been dating Prince Harry – the grandson of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip – for just over a year, but she has been welcome into the family, according to insiders.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "She’s very much been accepted into the family. They are so happy to see Harry happy."
The ‘Suits’ star even has her own direct line to the 32-year-old flame-haired hunk’s royal aide, Edward Lane Fox, for when she needs help with royal protocols.
The source explained: "There have been many times where Meghan’s been unsure of protocol, and having access to Harry’s aides has been a godsend."
When the brunette beauty visits the royal’s London residence, Kensington Palace, she doesn’t have to go through any checks like other members of the public.
Insiders said Meghan is waved right through" as "Harry has made it clear she’s to be treated like everyone else who lives there".
Meghan’s relationship with the prince is going from strength to strength as she is reportedly even invited to his sister-in-law Duchess Catherine’s sister Pippa Middleton’s wedding to fiancé James Matthews.
The Canadian-born star will be Harry at the party after the wedding at St Mark’s church in Engelfield, England on May 20, but not at the service of Pippa, according to PEOPLE magazine.
A source told the publication that there is a strict rule that royals who are not married to their partners cannot bring them to this kind of event.
