Meghan Markle failed a Britishness test and the tabloids went berserk

It's finally here, folks.

Yes, Prince Harry is getting married to his girlfriend, the actress Meghan Markle.

It's safe to say the British tabloid press has been obsessed since day one.

We can only imagine how excited they must be now that they are actually tying the knot.

As you can tell they weren't exactly impressed with Harry's relationship (Markle is shock horror, is a divorcee), at the time and went extensively into her history and family background and dug up some stuff.

Love is love though and as long as two people are happy together, why should anyone else care?

One thing that really irked them was the revelation that she took part in a "Britishness" quiz for comedy channel Dave in July 2016 and did poorly.

You can see the video below.

Questions included:

The Telegraph, Mirror, The Sunand even Helloran stories on Meghan's monumental failure.

Give us a break! We couldn't answer much of that!
