Prince Harry proposed to Meghan Markle on a blanket surrounded by electric candles and white flowers in the walled garden of Nottingham College in November 2017.
The Queen had high hopes for Harry and Meghan's marriage and its potential for the Commonwealth youth. Prince Phillip was wary, finding Meghan similar to Wallis Simpson. The Queen approved the marriage but questioned Meghan's white wedding dress and veil, given her previous marriage. Prince William also had reservations.
