Meghan Markle, who's officially spending her first Christmas with Prince Harry and the royal family in England, is back in the country and charming everyone at the castle, according to a report from The Daily Mail's royal correspondent Rebecca English. Queen Elizabeth II had her annual staff holiday party at Windsor Castle on Monday, where Markle ended up being a charming surprise guest.

"One person who met her told me that she was 'charm personified'," English wrote in a tweet. Per English's source, "She held out her hand & said 'Hi, I'm Meghan.' She was unbelievably beautiful and Harry looked so proud."
