Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Britain's Prince Harry and his fiancée, U.S. actress Meghan Markle, have set a wedding date.

The couple announced their engagement late last month.

Prince Harry, 33, said in a joint BBC interview with the 36-year-old Suits star that he popped the question while they were cooking at home one evening.

"It happened a few weeks ago," Prince Harry said. "Earlier this month, here at our cottage. Just a standard, typical night for us ... roasting a chicken."

"It was just an amazing surprise," Markle added. "It was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee. As a matter of fact, I could barely let [Prince Harry] finish proposing. I was like, 'Can I say yes now?'"

Harry is the grandson of Queen Eizabeth II, son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, and the brother of Prince William.
