Royal fans may have spotted the similarities between With You singer Richard's proposal and how Prince William asked for his now-wife Kate Middleton's hand in marriage. While he chose a different part of the continent, the Duke of Cambridge proposed to Duchess Kate following a three-week safari holiday with friends in 2010.
"I had been carrying [Princess Diana's ring] around in my rucksack for about three weeks before [the proposal]," William told ITV of the engagement, which took place at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy near the foothills of Mount Kenya. Kate described the proposal as "very romantic".
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge got engaged in Africa in 2010
Opening up about why he chose Africa to pop the question, Wiliam said at a reception marking the UK-Africa Investment Summit in 2020: "The African continent holds a very special place in my heart. It is the place my father took my brother and me shortly after our mother died. And when deciding where best to propose to Catherine, I could think of no more fitting place than Kenya to get down on one knee."
