• Prince Harry’s memoir ‘Spare’ contains a few details about Queen Elizabeth II.
• The Duke of Sussex describes the moment he asked her permission to propose to Meghan Markle.
• Her response caught him off guard and left him perplexed as to what she was saying.

Prince Harry’s memoir “Spare” contains a number of shocking stories about members of his family, including jokes about the rumours of his parentage and claims of physical altercations, it contains little information about Queen Elizabeth II.

A few details about his grandmother are mentioned in The Duke of Sussex, including the occasion when Harry had to ask the late Queen a crucial question regarding his engagement to Meghan Markle.

According to information, any member of the Royal Family who is descended from King George II is required to request the monarch’s permission before getting married due to the restrictions of the Royal Marriages Act 1772.

Harry described the moment the late Queen’s response to his request for permission to propose to his then-girlfriend left him perplexed.

Before popping the question to Meghan, Harry said to his grandmother: “I’ve been told that I have to ask your permission before I can propose”.

The Queen replied: “You have to?” to which Harry explained that is what he had been told. There was a moment of silence before the Queen replied: “Well then, I suppose I have to say yes.”

Harry admits that her response completely caught him off guard. He claims: “I didn’t get it. Was she being sarcastic? Ironic? Deliberately cryptic? Was she indulging in a bit of wordplay? I’d never known Granny to do any wordplay and this would be a surpassingly bizarre moment (not to mention widely inconvenient) for her to start, but maybe she just saw the chance to play off my unfortunate use of the world ‘have’ and couldn’t resist.”

He claims that while he was standing there, trying to understand what she was saying, he “realized” that she was saying “yes,” calling himself a “muppet.” Then he thanked her and called it “fabulous.”
