Elizabeth Hurley, who plays Queen Helena in the Netflix drama The Royals, is standing behind Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship, and says she’s “rooting for a Royal Wedding!”

While the star confesses she’s never actually met Prince Harry, she told E! News she’d met the 35-year-old actress at an industry event and said she thought the Suits star was “enchanting”.

“I thought she was the nicest girl,” Liz said. “And personally, I’m rooting for a royal wedding. I think it would be fabulous. I’d be fully supportive of it. I think she’s beautiful, glamorous, clever and talented. She’d be the breath of fresh air for the British royal family. I’m all for it.”

Liz, clearly a fan of Meghan, spoke highly of the star’s professional success, as well as offering her congratulations.

“Her personal life now, she looks very happy. I wish her all the best.”

While news of Prince Harry and Meghan’s romance only surfaced a few weeks ago, and has since been confirmed by a statement released by Kensington Palace, it would seem the pair is quite serious.
