We're so excited for this wedding we can barely stand it!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sat down for their first interview together just hours after announcing their engagement, and they shared details of the proposal, their courtship, the ring, and everything else everybody wants to know about!
The royal popped the question to his lady love earlier this month during a cozy night in while roasting a chicken. How very British!
"It was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got down on one knee. As a matter of fact, I could barely let you finish proposing. I said, 'Can I say yes now?'" Markle revealed. "There was hugs and I had the ring in my finger. I was like, 'Can I give you the ring?' She goes, 'Oh, yes! The ring!' It was a really nice moment. It was just the two of us, and I think I managed to catch her by surprise as well," Harry added.
So how did they first meet? On a blind date set up by a mutual pal!
"I was beautifully surprised when I walked into that room and saw her. There she was sitting there. I thought 'I'm going to have to up my game,'" Harry gushed. They had only been on two dates before he invited her to join him on a camping trip in Botswana.
"Then we were really by ourselves, which was crucial to me, to make sure that we had a chance to get to know each other," he revealed. "We were able to really have so much time just to connect, and we never went longer than two weeks without seeing each other, even though we were obviously doing a long-distance relationship. We made it work," Markle noted.
The prince wishes his late mother Princess Diana could have met his bride, but he knows that she would absolutely approve.
"They'd be thick as thieves, without question. I think she would be over the moon, jumping up and down, so excited for me but then, as I said, would've probably been best friends with Meghan. It is days like today when I really miss having her around and miss being able to share the happy news, but with the ring and with everything else that's going on I'm sure she's with us, jumping up and down somewhere else," he said.
They are so cute together!
