If not, why the inverted commas?

How I read that is, he got on one knee for an unrelated reason, she got all excited and the poor prince had to roll with it

Because it's a quotation (repeating someone else's words), you use quotation marks:
Quotation marks, also called 'inverted commas', are of two types: single and double. British practice is normally to enclose quoted matter between single quotation marks, and to use double quotation marks for a quotation within a quotation: 'Have you any idea', he said, 'what "dillygrout" is?'

Oh, in case you're right; here's the authoritative source on this sort of good stuff:

You may have hit the nail on the head.

Fair enough, although I would have thought the whole sentence could have been a quote. Thanks Cursed.

So using the extra intel we've now gained from UD, I think we can finally make sense of the sentence:

Harry got down on one knee while pulling his foreskin up and over his balls to create what looks like a roast chicken, drumsticks included.

He would have grabbed her around the waist pulling her in close and said "time to stuff this chicken".

I thought the chicken was already stuffed, hence the proposal!
