Harry himself revealed the delightful way he popped the question to his older brother. Stick around because this story is pure heartwarming gold.
So, how did Harry ask his big brother? Well, according to the 33-year-old royal, it was a moment filled with humor and sincerity. "How did I ask? Got down on one knee," Harry jokingly told reporters at an event with William in London shortly after the announcement. He added, "He’s known for months." It seems like William was equally playful, responding with, "It feels great. I’m thrilled and delighted obviously. Revenge is sweet. I’ll be looking forward to it." You can almost hear the laughter in the room, can't you?

Surprising Delays and Speculations
Now, many royal fans were scratching their heads over how long it took for Kensington Palace to make this announcement. Back in January, William teased the media by saying, "He hasn’t asked me yet, just to clear that up. It could be a sensitive subject." This comment sparked a wave of speculations. Some even thought Harry might not want to burden William, who just welcomed his third child, Prince Louis, with Kate Middleton on April 23. Additionally, rumors swirled that Kate might not have an official role at the wedding, but don't worry, she'll definitely be there to celebrate the special day.
