Ella Gabriella, daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, plan to marry her Indian boyfriend Aatish Taseer, a leading daily reported on Sunday.
Ella, 23, the 30th in line to the throne, was studying Spanish and English literature at Brown University, Rhode Island, in America when she met 24-year-old Aatish, a Mumbai-born Sikh, who occasionally dresses up as Captain Condom to promote the importance of safe sex.
"Prince and Princess Michael of Kent will announce that their elegant 23-year-old daughter is to marry Aatish early this year," The Sunday Telegraph reported.
The couple is likely to live in India.
"I will be heading back to India to pursue my career," says Aatish who is working as a trainee reporter for Time magazine.
"The opportunities in media out there are excellent and I'm determined to give it a go. I've lived here in London and in New York, but Delhi is where I am from and where I want to be," he told the newspaper.
His wedding to Lady Gabriella, also an aspiring journalist, will certainly help to put to rest accusations of racism that have dogged her mother since she allegedly told a table of black diners in a Manhattan restaurant to "go back to the colonies" after they ignored her request to quieten down.
Princess Michael subsequently dismissed them as a "group of rappers" who had simply misheard her.
