Kensington Palace has revealed that the first-ever official gift Meghan Markle received since saying 'yes' to Prince Harry's proposal is one that speaks to a passion of the former Suits actress. Prince William was actually the one who received an apron on the keen cook's behalf during his official visit to Finland, which took place in late November. Her kitchen savvy is widely known since the couple revealed that Prince Harry proposed while the pair was cooking roast chicken together.

In their first TV interview following their engagement, Meghan explained: "Just a cozy night, it was - what we were doing? Just roasting chicken… trying to roast a chicken and it was just an amazing surprise, it was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee." The couple will tie the knot in May, and Meghan recently revealed that she was "so excited" for the big day during a visit to Brixton in early January.
