Earlier this week news was released that Britain’s Prince Harry became engaged to American actress Meghan Markle after – holy Jewish comfort food batman! – she cooked him a roast chicken. And in case you were wondering, no Meghan Markle isn’t Jewish, though we congratulate the couple all the same.
American cooking goddess Ina Garten was quick to wish the couple congratulations on their engagement, declaring “I always knew roast chicken had magical powers.”
Congratulations to Prince Harry and Meghan! I always knew roast chicken had magic powers!! I’m so happy for both of you! @theroyalfamily @meghanmarkle
