When Meghan became a member of the RoyalΒ Family, she and William became quick friends. Unfortunately, the same could not be true of Meghan and Kate Middleton, which understandably impacted William.
Then, when Meghan and Harry departed the Royal Family, the formerβs relationship withΒ Prince WilliamΒ ended totally. However, even when the Sussexes were still working royals, it has been suggested that not all was as it appeared. One expert has even claimed that William made a strong stance against Meghan, blasting her in a speech of only 11 words.
The rivalry did not end withΒ Prince HarryΒ and Prince William; Meghanβs relationship with the royals also deteriorated. Its decline began before Harry and Meghan left the Royal Family and had a significant impact on Meghan and Williamβs relationship.
While the future king and Meghan, a former television star from the hit show Suits, had a solid relationship at first. Even yet, William wasnβt certain that his brother was thinking clearly.
William first looked to like Meghan, but he was also anxious. Harry and Meghanβs romance progressed rapidly after a friend introduced them on a blind date.
William wanted to talk to his younger brother about Meghan approximately a year before their wedding, and a year after they started dating. According to authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durandβs book Finding Freedom, branded βPro-Sussex,β William is reported to have encouraged his brother, βDonβt feel you need to rush this,β and βTake as much time as you need to get to know this girl.β
Scobie and Durand went on to explain that Harry was βpissed offβ that William had requested him to take things gently, and that the phrase βthe girlβ bothered him.
Prince William βdesperatelyβ wanted Meghan Markle to be happy
However, William chose to keep his feelings to himself. Why? He βdesperately wanted her to be happy and appreciated the huge adjustment of entering the Royal Family,β according to the insider.
Although there may have been tensions behind the scenes before Harryβs marriage to Meghan, the general public was unaware of them. However, just months before the Sussexes married at St Georgeβs Chapel in 2018, one royal expert thinks that William may have made a dig at his soon-to-be sister-in-law during a speech.
Prince William took a βswipeβ at Meghan Markle at royal event, expert claims
βWe later learned from Prince Harryβs book Spare that there had been an awkward moment backstage when Meghan had asked to borrow Katherineβs lip gloss. He describes how Katherine was taken aback by this, but eventually found some and grimaced when Megan squeezed some out,β Eden said on the Royal Confidential Podcast.
He went on to explain how William appeared to take a jab at Meghan during the address, as the Duchess highlighted female empowerment with a βbold public endorsementβ of the Me Too and Times Up initiatives.
βHonourable causes but a clear potential clash with politicians, which is the last thing the Royal Family wants,β Richard Eden continued. βYou do wonder if a line in Williamβs speech, where he said, βThe task for us would not be to reinvent the wheel,β could have been aimed at his soon-to-be sister-in-law.β
Prince William issued war:ning
Today, Harry and Meghan are thousands of miles away from the Royal Family. However, this does not diminish their status as stars wherever they travel. At the same time, the royal family has struggled in recent months due to the absences of King Charles and Kate Middleton, as well as Queen Camillaβs recent health difficulties.
Tessa Dunlop, a royal historian and researcher, has cautioned Prince William that the Sussexes may pose a substantial threat as a result. The royal adviser described the Sussexes as βinstinctively glamorous with bundles of razzmatazz,β advising William to βbeware.β
Prince Harry to return to the UK without Meghan Markle
It is not an unreasonable assumption to believe that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not return to the royal family anytime soon. Their relationship with the Royal Family is shattered, and based on what theyβve revealed, itβs inconceivable to envision Prince William ever forgiving his brother for his actions.
While Harry has been said to be open to returning to the UK, with some suggesting that he has even looked into a βpermanent homeβ in his native country, Meghan appears to be less enthusiastic.
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle have βno plans to move from the US,β says source
Nonetheless, the Sussexes appear to be considering Donald Trumpβs threat to deport Harry if it is discovered that he lied on his visa application. The couple has purchased a new home in Portugal, which may be called a βbackup planβ in case Trumpβs threats come true. Nonetheless, Harry and Meghan are resolved to remain in the United States.
