Prince Harry's Proposal to Meghan Markle Gets A Big Fat Thumbs Down

November 28, 2017 Keegs

(CNN) Meghan Markle barely let Prince Harry finish proposing.

It was a "cozy night" earlier this month at the couple's Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace and the pair were roasting a chicken, the American actor said. Or trying to roast a chicken, Harry said, correcting her.

"It was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got down on one knee," she said. "As a matter of fact, I could barely let you finish proposing. I said, 'Can I say yes now?'"

The pair giggled as they fondly remembered the moment. Harry continued, "There was hugs and I had the ring in my finger. I was like, 'Can I give you the ring?' She goes, 'Oh, yes! The ring!'"

Full article full of disappointment here.

Boooooooooooooo. Look, I don’t want to be that guy, but is roasting a chicken the best proposal you could muster, Harry? If you’re Meghan you must be disappointed on some level, right? Like that’s not a royal proposal. Sure being in love and having a quiet night in is great, but you’ve got years ahead of you for that. You’ve got to live up the royal excitement while it’s still fresh. Cut the shit with the hugs and the giggles, where are the fireworks? The parades? Where’s the honor guard to present the ring in a cooked quail? Where’s U2 shedding their hotel concierge disguises to serenade you with an engagement concert? This isn’t something for you, Harry, this is something for everybody out there. Your wedding and proposal aren’t some private affair, they’re part of a big show; and it’s not just about you anymore. Being in love isn't enough.

William and Kate got engaged here. Come on, Harry! You can't just let William one up you like this! This is effort. And sure, it was a special place for William blah blah blah, but it’s also fucking gorgeous. It’s basically a personal safari at tea time. So nice job William, even as the lame brother, you got the memo in terms of how these things are supposed to go down.

This seems like a big let down for Meghan, and a downright lazy move by Harry. You’ve got to be better, man. With great power comes great responsibility, and when you’re a member of one of the most respected royal families in the world, you’ve got to walk the talk, my friend. You’re supposed to leave the humbly romantic proposals to the common people, because that’s what we live for. Cute and quiet is our thing, lavish and overblown is your thing. So make up your fucking mind, either propose like a royal or give your spot to someone else. I thought this was Royalty 101 it’s ridiculous I have to tell you this.
