When Prince Harry made the news public to his trusted advisors of his plans to marry Meghan Markle, he was told of the royal rules he had to follow. And one of these rules was asking his grandmother, the Queen, for permission to propose.
The Duke made plans to do so during a family shooting trip in Sandringham, hoping she would be in a "good mood", The Mirror reports. In his memoir, Spare, Harry made it clear that he was annoyed at having to ask his grandmother, claiming it "didn't make any sense" as he was a grown man.
His unhappiness with this rule was clear when he found a moment to ask the Queen, and her short reply left Harry speechless. The Duke admits that he was nervous about asking his Granny for permission, knowing that a "no" would cause chaos in his relationship with Meghan.
