A night to remember! Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s candid Netflix docuseries showed a first-hand account of the night they got engaged — complete with a never-before-seen proposal photo.“I wanted to do it earlier, because I had to ask permission from my grandmother, [Queen Elizabeth II],” the Duke of Sussex, 38, recalled in episode 2 of Harry & Meghan, which debuted on Thursday, December 8, detailing his plans to pop the question. “I couldn’t do it outside of the U.K.”Harry went on to joke that he slightly spoiled the surprise. “I did pop a bottle of champagne while she was roasting the chicken, and that kind of slightly gave the game away,” he teased. “She was like, ‘You don’t drink champagne, what’s the occasion?’ I was like, ‘I don’t know, just had it lying around, whatever.'”The Bench author, 41, quipped that the bottle of bubbly was “magnum” size, while her now-husband added: “It wasn’t that I knew she would say yes, but she’d already moved [her dog] Guy over.

So I had Guy as a hostage.”Harry described the romantic setup he made in the garden, which included 15 battery-powered candles.

The episode then cut to an excited phone call Meghan had made to a friend — presumably former BFF Jessica Mulroney — on the big night.“Oh, my God, Jess … it’s happening, it’s happening, it’s happening!

Oh, my God, he told me not to peek,” the Suits alum said before a photo of Harry on one knee panned over the screen.Off camera, a producer asked “what position” the prince was in when he asked Meghan to marry him. “Downward dog,” he joked. “Of course, I got down on one knee.
