Nearly 23 million Americans watched TV coverage of the wedding, outstripping the number who had watched Charles’s wedding to Diana in 1981 (the ring Harry gave to Markle included several diamonds that had belonged to his late mother). The engagement sets the stage for the first royal wedding since Harry’s older brother William, the heir to the British throne, married Kate Middleton in 2011. "As a matter of fact, I could barely let you finish proposing. He got down on one knee," she told the BBC. "It was so sweet and natural and very romantic. She said Harry asked her to marry him during what she described as a “cozy night” at home. In an interview that evening with the BBC’s Mishal Husain, Markle said she and Harry met in July 2016 on a blind date set up by a mutual friend, then cemented their relationship during a camping trip to Botswana. The famously secretive royal family made the engagement public on Monday. The young couple will live in Nottingham Cottage, part of London’s Kensington Palace. The royal family announced that Markle will become a British citizen before she marries Harry during a ceremony in Windsor Castle. Harry, the 33-year-old second son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, quietly proposed to Markle earlier this month. The engagement of Britain’s Prince Harry to actress Meghan Markle is raising eyebrows on both sides of the Atlantic for a particularly British set of reasons: She’s a biracial woman who will be the first American divorcée to marry into the royal family in nearly 81 years.
