It's official.

Things are really getting serious between Prince Harry and girlfriend Meghan Markle, as it's just been revealed the Suits actress has finally had the pleasure of meeting Harry's sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, and the pair are said to have hit it off immediately.

According to The Sun, Prince Harry introduced Meghan to Kate – who brought her daughter 20 month-old niece Princess Charlotte to the meeting – at Kensington Palace last Tuesday.

Sadly, Prince George had to attend school back in the family's hometown of Norfolk so it was a strictly girls-only encounter.

As for the trio's meeting, the newspaper reports it went 'really well' — with Markle even presenting the Duchess of Cambridge with a leather-bound 'dream diary' as a belated 35th birthday present.

The meeting comes two months after Harry's brother William met Markle and sent a message of support for his brother's new romance.

Family meetings seem to be a frequent theme for the couple, as Harry reportedly paid another visit to see Markle's 72 year-old father in Toronto earlier this month, with Meghan's half-brother Thomas Markle Jr revealing the pair looked 'very much in love'.

Harry and Meghan have been inseparable in recent weeks, taking their first romantic holiday together over New Year to Tromsø, Norway and choosing a 6-foot Christmas tree together in London in early December.

The big question remains – when will Meghan get to meet the Queen?
