Prince Harry Unveils Tensions with Prince William Over Meghan Markle
In a revealing excerpt from his upcoming memoir, “Spur,” Prince Harry has opened up about the fraught relationship he shares with his brother, Prince William.
The revelations paint a vivid picture of how William's perception of Meghan Markle, an American actress, has created a rift between the royal siblings.
Harry claims that William referred to Meghan in a way that made her sound like a “convicted felon,” which speaks volumes about the underlying tensions in their family dynamics.
The memoir dives deep into the challenges Harry faced as he navigated his romance with Meghan.
According to him, William's dismissive attitude towards Meghan stemmed largely from her background as an actress.
Harry recalls a particular conversation where William expressed skepticism about Meghan's potential to fit into royal life, saying, “she's an actress after all, Harold, anything can happen.” This comment reveals William's negative bias towards Meghan, suggesting that her profession was a significant stumbling block for the family.
Harry recounts how William often discouraged him from pursuing a relationship with Meghan right from the start.
“It was too fast,” William cautioned, a sentiment that Harry felt was rooted in concern rather than genuine brotherly advice.
The tension was palpable, with Harry feeling that William's warnings were more about protecting the royal image than about his happiness.
In their Netflix docu-series, Harry humorously described the family's initial meeting with Meghan.
He noted that some family members were visibly unsure of how to react to her presence.
“They were surprised that a ginger could land a beauty who was also intelligent,” he quipped, highlighting the absurdity of their preconceived notions.
For Harry, the fact that he was dating an American actress seemed to cloud their judgment, leading them to assume that the relationship wouldn't last.
As these revelations make waves in the media, royal expert Mark Broadman has weighed in on the ongoing saga.
Broadman suggests that Harry is experiencing a longing for his former life in the UK, yearning to reconnect with old friends and familiar surroundings.
This desire for a semblance of normalcy is reportedly causing friction with Meghan, who has been adapting to their new life in America.
Harry's memoir is poised to provide even more insights into the complexities of the royal family's relationships.
