In a statement released through his press spokesman, Harry said: "I am delighted that my brother has popped the question!

"It means I get a sister, which I have always wanted."

The Prince has been in flying training at Middle Wallop, Hampshire, today, his spokesman said.

Clarence House formally announced the long-awaited development in a statement issued just after 11am yesterday.

It said: "The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton.
