Prince Charles says he's "thrilled" and "very happy indeed" after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement.

The Prince of Wales told reporters the news was "very good" and added: "Thrilled for them both. They'll be very happy indeed."

He spoke at the start of a series of engagements in Poundbury in Dorchester, Dorset on Monday, which is built on Duchy of Cornwall land.

The prince visited Damers First School to meet staff, students and parents, and find out about their community and sustainability programs.

He toured classrooms and went outside to meet children working in the school garden before unveiling a plaque to officially open the school.

While seeing children baking and peeling apples, Charles joked: "No one's cut their fingers off yet."
