  • How A “Cosy Night Roasting Chicken” Ended In A Royal Engagement [Video]

    It was just another “cosy night” in their cottage when Prince Harry got down on one knee and proposed to Meghan Markle.

    Yes, yes, in case you have had your head in the sand, the two are engaged after dating for just over a year.

    All was revealed during their first on-air interview since announcing their royal engagement. Barely able to contain her excitement, Markle explained how they were “just roasting a chicken” when it all happened.

    The couple also discussed their “long-distance romance, their different backgrounds, and what it was like for Markle to meet the Queen and her corgis,” reports CNN.

    The two met last year on a blind date, brokered by a mutual friend:

    They didn’t know much about each other. Markle wasn’t too familiar with the British royal family, and Prince Harry had never seen the television show, “Suits,” nor any other example of Markle’s work.

    Harry recalled his first impression: “I was beautifully surprised when I walked into that room and saw her. There she was sitting there.”

    He thought, “I’m going to have to up my game.”

    From that night on, they coordinated their calendar in order to spend time together.

    And the ring? Let’s not forget about the ring. Designed by Harry himself, it incorporates a bit of Diana:

    The couple’s time in Botswana is represented on Markle’s finger, as the primary stone on her engagement ring was sourced from the African nation. The smaller diamonds on the side of the ring came from his mother’s jewelry collection.

    Harry wanted to include those on the ring, which he designed himself with a yellow gold band, “to make sure she’s with us on this crazy journey together.”

    “I think everything about Harry’s thoughtfulness and the inclusion of that and obviously not being able to meet his mom it’s so important to me to know that she’s a part of this with us,” she said.

    Looking down at her ring, she said, “It’s incredibly special to be able to have this, which sort of links where you come from and Botswana, which is important to us. It’s perfect.”

    Adorable.

    Oh, and the best headline goes to Joe:

    So how much royal wealth will Meghan have access to once she ties the knot? Let’s hand the mic over to TIME:

    Harry, who is now fifth in line to the British throne, is currently worth about $25 million, according to an estimate from wealth tracking firm Wealth-X.

    On his 30th birthday, Harry received full access to an inheritance from his late mother, Princess Diana. CNN valued the total estate, to be split between Harry and his brother William, at $21.6 million in 2009. Harry’s portion would be worth at least $12.4 million today.

    The rest of his wealth comes from salaries and dividends, according to Wealth-X. He received a salary during his 10-year stint in the British Army. He has also held leadership positions at nonprofits like The Invictus Games, but it’s not clear whether he has been paid for that work.

    Last year, the Daily Mail reported that the value of the British royal estate, known as the Duchy of Cornwall and comprising most of the royals’ income-producing assets, soared past £1 billion. The estate was established in the year 1337, and includes mostly rent-producing properties across the country, like £365 million-worth of agricultural land. The royals do not buy or sell the properties, but only take annual income produced by them. Harry’s father, Prince Charles, claimed £20 million in income from the estate in 2016, the Mail said.

    Wealth-X estimates Charles’ wealth to be at least $450 million. The firm doesn’t attribute any of the Duchy’s assets to Harry, since they remain controlled by Charles.

    And that’s what we know.
