Here are some not-so-recent photos of the couple. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of them soon.

He has no royal duties, and currently works for the Royal Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh. Autumn Kelly, who is Canadian, is a management consultant.
No date has been set for the wedding.
Best wishes to the merry newly-engaged couple!

It is great news! The couple have pretty much kept out of the limelight. But they both seem nice and great for each other. I wish them the best!
This is wonderful news, Autumn seems like a nice, level headed young woman.
