Prince William Told Prince Harry To ‘slow Down Relationship With Meghan Markle’ metro.co.uk
The elder brother attempted to get the Duke of Sussex to slow things down but he would apparently accept no criticism of his new relationship. Speculation about royal tension has been rife after Prince Harry and Meghan announced they were moving out of Kensington Palace.
At first it was thought that Prince William’s wife Kate didn’t get on with the American actress Meghan. However credible reports today suggest that a feud between the once-close brothers is the real source of the friction.
A source told the Sun that Prince William, 36, sat his brother down to have a chat about Meghan, 37, after she was first introduced to the royals. ‘William told his brother they knew nothing about her background, her intentions, what she was really like,’ the source said.
‘He just wanted to stress that becoming part of the Royal Family is a massive undertaking and the pressure and scrutiny is unrelenting. ‘Was Meghan the right one?
Harry went mental. He accused his brother of trying to finish the romance before it had begun. ‘The brothers’ relationship has not really recovered.’
Prince William and Prince Harry have always been close as the only people who really understand each other’s unique lives. Their trust and support of each other was strengthened by the death of their mother Princess Diana in a Paris car crash in 1997. Prince Harry, 34, is said to now be very over-protective of Meghan because he was unable to protect their mother. A courtier in the Royal Household added: ‘He will brook absolutely no criticism of Meghan – and he is so sensitive he often sees criticism or negativity when there isn’t any.’
Once Meghan moved to London, Prince Harry is said to have accused his brother and Kate of not being welcoming to her. Meghan was said to have wanted Kate to show her the ropes but the Duchess was suffering from severe morning sickness with Prince Louis and was unable to help.
A source added: ‘Meghan felt rebuffed and so just stopped trying.’ The brothers each took the side of their respective wives.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke of Duchess of Sussex have appeared in public together only a handful of times.
Dubbed the ‘Fab Four’ they even admitted to squabbles during an appearance to promote their Royal Foundation charitable work. When asked by host Tina Daheley whether they ever had any disagreements, Prince William said ‘Oh yes.’
Prince Harry added that they ‘come so thick and fast.’ When asked if they had been resolved, Prince William laughed and replied: ‘We don’t know.’
Prince Charles is said to have stepped in on more than one occasion to bring his boys back together again. The Cambridge family, including Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, will now be at Sandringham this Christmas instead of going to Kate’s family home.
