Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s official engagement photos are here. And boy, are they something to look at.

The two photos look like they’ve come straight out of a fashion magazine shoot with Harry and Meghan posing in super stylish ensembles.

In the first shot, the royal couple are seen sitting on the steps of Frogmore House in Windsor Castle; the location where Harry reportedly introduced his ex, Chelsy Davy, to the Queen.

Meghan is wearing a black embellished Ralph & Russo gown reportedly worth £56,000 while Harry is clad in a tailored blue suit.

Unfortunately, you’ll be hard-pressed to get your hands on the dress as it’s from the London-based brand’s AW16 couture collection.

The second photo, a black and white shot, depicts the newly engaged pair smiling at each other with the former actress caressing Prince Harry’s face. Meghan is wearing a luxe knit by Victoria Beckham.

Her diamond engagement ring is conveniently on display for all to see.

The intimate photos were taken by fashion and celebrity photographer Alexi Lubomirski earlier this week.

And, by all accounts, they seem to have down a storm with fans.

“It doesn’t get better than this. Oh well, the wedding portraits will be magical. Ugh this whole love story gives me goosebumps,” wrote one fan.

Another said: “I can’t with these two. Also, I’m going to go broke from buying clothes to look like Meghan Markle. THAT DRESS. #perfection.”
