Just days after the world learned about the engagement of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Prince William finally chimed in with his thoughts—and trust me, they were worth the wait. If you’re wondering what the second-in-line to the throne had to say about his younger brother tying the knot, well, it’s pure gold. William not only shared his excitement but also tossed in a lighthearted jab that had everyone grinning from ear to ear.

During his two-day visit to Finland in late November, the 35-year-old Prince William opened up about the news that's got the globe buzzing. With a smile as wide as the fjords around him, he expressed just how thrilled the family is for Harry and Meghan. “We’re all incredibly excited and delighted for them both,” William told reporters. But then came the kicker—a cheeky comment about Harry's fridge-raiding habits. “And for me personally, I hope it means he stays out of my fridge and stops scrounging my food, which he’s done for the last few years,” William quipped. Classic royal humor at its finest!

Prince William didn’t hold back when it came to sending his warmest wishes to the newly engaged couple. “It’s such a fantastic process—getting engaged and then all the excitement leading up to the wedding,” he said. “They’ve got so many happy times ahead of them. I think they’re really caught up in the moment, and I wish them all the happiness and success as they start planning their big day.” He added, with a hint of sincerity, “I hope it all goes really well for them.”

The Proposal That Stole Hearts

Now, let’s rewind to the magical night when Prince Harry popped the question. As it turns out, the way to a man’s heart really might be through his stomach—at least for one ginger-haired royal. The proposal reportedly took place over a cozy roast chicken dinner at their home, Nottingham Cottage, nestled on the picturesque grounds of Kensington Palace. Prince Harry, 33, and Meghan Markle, 36, shared an evening that was as intimate as it was unforgettable.

In a candid interview with BBC News broadcaster Mishal Husain, Prince Harry revealed the heartwarming details of their special moment. “It happened a few weeks ago, earlier this month, here at our cottage. It was a standard, typical night for us. We were roasting a chicken—well, trying to roast a chicken,” Harry recounted with a laugh. He went on to describe how Meghan couldn’t contain her excitement. “She didn’t even let me finish. She said, ‘Can I say yes? Can I say yes?’” Harry recalled, his voice brimming with joy. “And then there were hugs, and I had the ring in my finger. I was like, ‘Can I—can I give you the ring?’ She just said, ‘Oh yes, the ring.’”

Meghan chimed in, adding her own perspective. “It was so sweet, natural, and incredibly romantic,” she said. The couple is now set to tie the knot at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in May 2018, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their love story.
