Meghan Markle's 'truly terrible' honest mistake on the night she got engaged to Prince Harry
The duchess the record straight...
Meghan Markle has addressed a “truly terrible” mistake made on the evening of her engagement to Prince Harry.
The Sussexes’ got wed in May 2018, six months after it was confirmed Prince Harry had popped the question. Meghan Markle revealed at the time of the big announcement that the proposal was “so sweet and natural and very romantic”.
Despite reported concerns from other royal relatives about Prince Harry’s engagement and choice for a bride, the nuptials at Windsor Castle were watched by millions across the world hoping for a fairytale wedding. However, in season two of With Love, Meghan, she’s shared new details concerning when Prince Harry put a ring on it.
With Love, Meghan confession

Among the celebrity guests to pal around with Meghan in the kitchen this series is American chef Samin Nosrat.

How did Prince Harry propose?
It has been reported on many occasions that Prince Harry and his then-girlfriend were enjoying a cosy night in at Frogmore Cottage when he asked her to marry him.
However, over the years, the exact details about what they were up to at the time have become blurred.
That’s because, at various points, it has been suggested that Prince Harry was cooking dinner, or that they were preparing a meal together.
She said during their engagement interview: “[We were] trying to roast a chicken and it just – just an amazing surprise.”
Now, however, it seems Meghan – who has also been identified as the one in the charge of what they were eating that evening – may have been the head chef.
She’s also big enough to admit she blundered somewhat. But now, Meghan’s roast chicken dish is one she prepares at least once a week.
‘I made a horrible chicken that night’
The problem, according to Meghan, seems to stem from her recipe losing something in translation.
Meghan tells Samin: “I will say when I made a roast chicken for my now-husband I was still having a lot of challenges with the conversion of Celsius and Fahrenheit.”
Meghan continues: “I made a horrible chicken that night. I mean, truly terrible.”

However, Meghan also concludes an awful meal can still be cherished.
The point is you can make a terrible chicken and someone is still going to appreciate the thought.
“The point is you can make a terrible chicken and someone is still going to appreciate the thought,” she adds.
Hopefully, despite the mix up, both were also able to appreciate the chicken being cooked through!
With Love, Meghan season two premieres on Netflix on August 26.
