Prince Harry, Meghan Markle share full story of night they got engaged

Couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are revisiting the night he proposed in new documentary series streaming live on Netflix. 

Harry was in love with Markle and about the same he said, "I wanted to do it earlier, because I had to ask permission from my grandmother. I couldn't do it outside of the U.K."

"I did pop a bottle of champagne while she was greasing the chicken, and that kind of slightly gave the game away,  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." 

"It was a magnum!" Meghan, 41, added with a giggle. 

Speaking about Markle's rescue beagle which she adopted in 2015, "It wasn't that I knew she'd say yes, but she'd already moved Guy over, so I had Guy as a hostage." 

"And then in the north garden, being overlooked by the staff flats, I got 15 of those electric candles."  

A producer behind the Netflix camera asked the prince what position he was in, to which Harry joked "downward dog," which made Meghan laugh.

"Of course, I got down on one knee, of course I did,"  The camera flashed to a photo of the special moment, showing Harry down on one knee on a blanket — ring box in hand! — surrounded by candles, white roses, and Guy.

A sweet selfie from the romantic engagement night did rounds where both kissed in the countryside.
