My family is about to get a little bit bigger.

[AUDIENCE CHEERS]

Yes, Prince Harry just announced that he is engaged.

[LAUGHTER]

Because, you know, Kate Middleton is my 15th cousin.

So that makes Prince Harry's fiance my--

other cousin.

And here's a picture of the royal couple right here.

[AUDIENCE SWOONS]

Look at them.

Yeah, I don't know for sure.

I think he proposed to her on the royal jumbotron.

I'm not sure.

[LAUGHTER]

I know they have one.

Her name is Meghan Markle.

She's from Los Angeles.

She's an actress.

She's been on General Hospital.

She's been on CSI New York.

And this is true-- she was once the holder of case number 24

on Deal or No Deal.

[LAUGHTER]

Yeah.

Which means if Harry had picked the other model,

he could have gotten a million dollars, so--

[LAUGHTER]

Darn it.

She's also the first American member of the royal family.

We finally got somebody on the inside, you guys.

[LAUGHTER]

This is absolutely true.

We have met before.

This is what she said about me in an interview, "I was in LA,

and I went to this dog rescue place.

Then Ellen and Portia de Rossi walked in.

And Ellen goes, 'Is that your dog?'

I said, 'No.' And she's like, 'You have to take that dog.'

So I brought him home because Ellen told me to."

[LAUGHTER]

[APPLAUSE]

It's amazing.

I mean, she adopted a dog because I told her to.

I even have a picture of the dog right here.

There's the dog.

[LAUGHTER]

No, I found that on Google.

I don't know what the dog--

I don't even remember the story, actually.

But obviously she does.

And she does whatever I tell her to do.

So Megan, if you're watching, I have something else

to tell you.

Invite me to that wedding.

[AUDIENCE CHEERS]

I want to go.

Listen to this, you guys-- because she does whenever I

tell her--

OK, instead of plus one, I want a plus 400.

I want these people to come too.

[AUDIENCE CHEERS]

Yeah, I love that you really think

you're going, that you're so genuinely

excited there's a possibility.

The royal family hasn't talked much about the engagement

so far.

But I'm close with them.

I have an exclusive.

So I texted the queen this morning.

And she's going to talk with us right

now through the technology from Cisco.

And let's see if she's there.

Your majesty?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

(SHRILL BRITISH ACCENT) Yes?

Oh, goodness.

[LAUGHTER]

(SHRILL BRITISH ACCENT) Hello, Ellen!

Hi.

Hi, Queen Elizabeth.

Are you excited about the engagement?

(SHRILL BRITISH ACCENT) Slow down, Ellen.

First of all, since I'm appearing on this show,

do I get 12 Days of Giveaways?

No, I actually just wanted to talk to you about Prince Harry.

(SHRILL BRITISH ACCENT) Then I'm out of here.

I only agreed to this because I thought I'd get the 12 Days.

I need a Vitamix!

Yeah, now how do you need anything at all?

You're one of the richest people in the world.

(SHRILL BRITISH ACCENT) Well, yeah,

but who doesn't like free [BLEEP]??

[LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE]

OK, that's-- I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

[APPLAUSE CONTINUES]

That's all right.

Cut her off.

That's, that's--

(SHRILL BRITISH ACCENT) Can I at least get some headphones?

You're always giving away head--

No, she's gone.

[LAUGHTER]

It's OK.

No, I'm sorry about that.

I really am.
