The American closed her Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.

Word of the change came after the two visited a community radio station in Brixton that trains youngsters in media skills. Hundreds of people lined the streets to welcome them. It was the couple’s second official visit since they announced their engagement in November.
Markle, best known for her role as an ambitious paralegal in the hit U.S. legal drama “Suits,†surprised many when she shared her feelings for Harry in a September cover story for Vanity Fair. Asked about the media frenzy surrounding their courtship, the 36-year-old said: “At the end of the day I think it’s really simple … we’re two people who are really happy and in love.â€
Describing Harry as her “boyfriend,†Markle said that while she expected that she and Harry would have to “come forward†about their relationship at some point, the two were just a couple enjoying time spent with each other.
