A source close to the couple told the Sun: They said: “One of the first of his old chums with whom Harry wanted to share the great news was Skippy, who is just happy to be back in the fold.

“Tom is genuinely happy that he was proved wrong about Meghan - because he, like everyone else, can see that they are absolutely devoted to each other.

“But he doesn’t feel guilty about asking Harry if he was sure he was going the right thing in the first place - he felt he was only doing what a good friend should do, in talking it through with Harry.
