Recall Prince Harry’s proposal for a healthy Sunday roast? Well, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have now clarified that’s not the whole story.
The royals talked about the romantic moment Harry proposed to Meghan Markle in the Kensington Palace grounds for their Netflix docuseries about their love story. They even shared a picture of the touching moment.
I wanted to do it earlier, but I couldn’t do it outside of the UK because I had to get my grandmother’s approval, he said. The fact that I opened a bottle of champagne while she was roasting a chicken may have given the game away.
“She asked, “What’s the occasion? You never drink champagne,'”
“It was a magnum, Harry joked, and Meghan chuckled: “And I was like, ‘I don’t know, I just had it lying around, whatever!'”
Although he warned Meghan “not to peek” while he prepared the proposal location, a video showed the former Suits actress giddily whispering to her friend over the phone: “Oh my God, Jess.” He then set up a covert picnic blanket outside surrounded by electric candles and white flowers. It’s taking place! ”
A picture showed the royal on one knee holding a ring box in one hand, which we now know contained a custom ring featuring diamonds from his late mother Princess Diana’s collection. “In the little walled garden, overlooked by the staff flats, I got 15 of those electric candles,” Harry explained.
Guy, Meghan’s pet dog, had been flown from America to the UK to live with the couple at their then-home Nottingham Cottage, and he was holding onto Guy with his other hand.
“I didn’t know she’d say yes, but Guy had already been moved over, so I held Guy hostage. He joked, with Meghan leaning in for a selfie with Harry and her dog after their engagement, “And he was on stilts so he couldn’t run away.
Many people assumed that the Duke surprised his future wife in the kitchen after Harry and Meghan revealed to the media during their engagement interview that he had proposed while they were cooking at home.
After hosting a private engagement party at which they donned onesie penguins, they posed for official pictures in the Sunken Garden of Kensington Palace, where Meghan flaunted her new sparkling trilogy ring.
