The wait for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement announcement is over. But the big questions — when, where, and how it happened — are just getting started.

You might not call their relationship, or their imminent spring 2018 nuptials, “typical,” but that is precisely the word Harry used to describe the night he proposed.

“It was just a standard, typical night for us,” Harry told the BBC’s Mishal Husain in an interview about the engagement, which aired Monday.

“What were we doing? Just roasting chicken ― trying to roast a chicken,” Markle added in response.

Harry told Husain he thinks he succeeded in surprising the humanitarian and actor with his proposal, which Markle confirmed. “It was just an amazing surprise,” she said. “It was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee.”
