Breaking the \"engagement chicken\" stereotype of a woman making a roast chicken to woo her suitor into proposing, the couple's interview mentioned that the pair made the chicken together, which speaks to their partnership.

The couple has said their relationship blossomed over the last year and a half at home over dinners.

\"We had to sort of reverse the whole process and cozy nights in, in front of the television, cooking dinner with just the two of us by ourselves in our little cottage rather going out for dinner and being seen in public. So we, we reversed the whole process which is, it's provided different opportunities. And has made us a hell of a lot closer in a short space of time. That's without question,\" Harry told the BBC.

\"So you know if anybody else ... maybe slow down to date, spend more time at home. But no, it's for us it's an opportunity to really get to know each other without other people, you know, looking, trying to take photos on the phones and that kind of stuff.\"

New details about their May wedding announced

Kensington Palace announced that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will marry in May at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. The couple will take an active role in planning the wedding themselves, Harry's communication's secretary, Jason Knauf, said, and want the day to be \"fun\" and \"celebratory.\"

\"The couple of course want the day to be a special, celebratory moment for their friends and family. They also want the day to be shaped so as to allow members of the public to feel part of the celebrations too and are currently working through ideas for how this might be achieved,” Knauf said. \"This wedding, like all weddings, will be a moment of fun and joy that will reflect the characters of the bride and groom.\"

No word if chicken will be on the menu.
