Ms Markle is best known for her starring role in the US series Suits - although Prince Harry admitted he’d never watched the drama.
During the wide-ranging interview, the Prince of Wales told of how the couple were introduced by a mutual friend while on a blind date.
And speaking of the moment he proposed, he said: “It happened a few weeks ago, earlier this month here at our cottage, so it was a standard, typical night for us.”
Ms Markle added: “It was a cosy night, we were roasting chicken and it was just an amazing surprise, it was so sweet, natural and very romantic - he got on one knee.”
Asked whether it was an instant yes, she continued: “I could barely let [Prince Harry] finish proposing, I was like 'can I say yes?'"
"She didn't even let me finish," Prince Harry said.
"It was a really nice moment, it was just the two of us and I think managed to catch - catch her by surprise as well."
