Prince Harry And Meghan Markle: A Royal Love Story With A Down-to-Earth Twist

Sain April 21, 2025

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the newly-engaged royal couple, tie the knot in May, the red-headed prince is making it clear that this wedding won’t be over-the-top extravagant. According to insiders, the 33-year-old royal prefers a more understated ceremony, which might come as a surprise given the grandeur usually associated with royal events. But let’s be honest—Harry’s life has never exactly been simple, so why start now?

“Pomp and pageantry is the last thing he would want,” a source revealed to Us Weekly before the couple announced their engagement in late November. “I can picture him wanting to get married at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. It’s a choice that would prevent the day from turning into a full-blown media circus, giving it a touch of privacy that Harry desperately craves.” And guess what? That’s exactly the plan! Harry’s decision to keep things low-key shows just how much he values intimacy and authenticity over flashy displays of wealth and power.

Their journey together began in August 2016, when they started dating. They publicly confirmed their relationship in November 2016, and just a year later, they announced their engagement in early November 2017. If Harry’s wedding is anything like the moment he proposed to Meghan, it’ll be as simple and heartfelt as their love story itself.

During their first official interview as an engaged couple, Harry and Meghan shared the adorable details of how he popped the question. “It was just a typical night for us,” Harry explained. Meghan chimed in, teasing him: “What were we doing? Just roasting chicken? Trying to roast a chicken, and then—bam!—it was this incredible surprise. It was so sweet, natural, and romantic. He got down on one knee,” she said with a smile that lit up the room.

Meghan couldn’t contain her excitement and didn’t even let Harry finish his proposal. “She didn’t even let me finish!” Harry joked. “Then there were hugs, and I had the ring on my finger before I could even ask, ‘Can I give you the ring?’ It was such a beautiful moment—it was just the two of us. And I think I managed to surprise her too,” he added with a laugh.

Even though Meghan has found herself in the public eye more frequently since they became an official couple, those quiet, private nights together are becoming rarer. But don’t worry—Meghan has always been clear about how happy she is with Harry. In an interview with Vanity Fair, she opened up about the challenges of fame and how their love keeps them grounded. “It has its challenges, and it comes in waves,” she admitted. “Some days it can feel more challenging than others. And right out of the gate, it was surprising how quickly things changed. But I have this incredible support system around me, and of course, my boyfriend’s unwavering support. At the end of the day, it’s really simple—we’re two people who are genuinely happy and deeply in love.” Can’t wait to see this love story unfold on their special day!
