The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has shared the charmingly unconventional story of how Prince Harry popped the question, debunking any notions of a grand, public gesture. The intimate moment unfolded not in a exotic location, but in the cosy confines of their former home, Nottingham Cottage, at Kensington Palace.
During a candid revelation, Meghan described the scene: a quiet night in, just the two of them. The now-famous moment happened as they were cooking a roast chicken dinner, a staple of their domestic life together. It was amidst this ordinary, yet deeply personal, setting that Prince Harry chose to get down on one knee.
'We were just so connected, and we were just having such an intimate moment,' Meghan recounted. 'We were really quiet, and he was down on one knee. I could literally feel him shaking. He was so nervous.'
The simplicity of the proposal highlights the couple's desire for authenticity and privacy, even in life's most significant milestones. The story offers a rare glimpse into their relationship away from the public eye, showcasing a relatable and tender side to the royal couple's romance.
This anecdote adds another layer to the public's understanding of Harry and Meghan's journey, emphasising the genuine, private bond that formed the foundation of their partnership long before they stepped back from royal duties.
