Looks like the royal fairy tale romantic life of Prince Harry just got an extra dose of drama.

In a totally uncharacteristic move, Kensington Palace just issued a statement on Prince Harry's relationship with actress Meghan Markle. Not only did the statement confirm their relationship status, but it also displayed just how strongly Harry feels about the brunette beauty:

The letter targets a "wave of abuse and harassment" targeted at Meghan, including the front page of a national newspaper, racist comment pieces and general sexism and racism from social media trolls. Wait, did the royal family just use the word "trolls"?

Here's where things get "aww"-worthy. The letter discusses Prince Harry's concern over the attention around Meghan, and his deep disappointment that he has not been able to protect her. The letter also states that the two were dating for "a few months".

Hopefully the letter will serve as a reminder to respect the royal family and those affiliated with them -- despite the natural curiosity.
