Britain's Prince William proposed to bride-to-be Kate Middleton in a secluded African lodge, but won't say if he got down on one knee to give her his mother's ring.

"We had a holiday in Africa, it was out there in a very quiet lodge and it was very romantic," Middleton said of the engagement.

"It was very romantic and it was very personal."

When pressed if he knelt down in front of his future wife, William quipped: "That's going to stay a secret."

The beaming couple, who are both 28, made their first appearance Tuesday hours after it was publicly announced they plan to wed next year.

Kate, who is now dropping her nickname and wants to be known as Catherine, said the thought of joining the royal family is "quite a daunting prospect."

"Hopefully I'll take it in my stride," she added. "William's a great teacher so he'll be able to help me along the way."
