The first image shows Prince Harry in a sharp blue suit sitting with Markle, wearing a black dress with an embroidered, sheer top, in his arms on a step below him. Her engagement ring, which features diamonds from the collection of Harry's mother, Princess Diana, is prominently displayed.
A second photo was shot in black and white, with the couple looking away from the camera, smiling and cuddled into Prince Harry's coat.
The couple also released a "candid photo" as thanks for "the warm and generous" messages they've received.
