In 2016, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began a secret relationship. A few months later, the son of Charles III, very much in love, introduced the American actress to his relatives. However, Prince William would not necessarily have been delighted by this meeting, warning his little brother and asking him not to get carried away.
In his memoir, which will be unveiled on Tuesday, January 10, 2023, Prince Harry revealed that Kate Middleton’s husband asked him not to get engaged to Meghan Markle for fear that their relationship would move “too quickly”. According to media outlet Page Six, Prince William also rejected the idea of him and Kate becoming “a quartet” with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle because she was “an American actress after all.” A speech that would have hurt the main interested party.

Previously very close to his brother, Prince Harry would have tried to convince Prince William that Meghan Markle was made for him, by evoking their mother. He would have explained that Lady Diana would have helped him “to find” the woman of his life. Faced with this assertion, the heir to the British crown would have become “concerned” and would have “taken a step back” by explaining to his brother that he was “taking things a little too far”.
Words that ultimately did not deter the young prince from marrying Meghan Markle in May 2018. However, the preparation for his marriage had not been easy. Tensions had erupted between the future bride and Kate Middleton, while Prince William had canceled the last evening he was to spend with his brother on the pretext of having to take care of his family. A particularly hurtful apology for Prince Harry.
