After Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex left the royal family in an unprecedented move that the British press would call ‘Megxit’, everyone had a question. What happened? What could cause a royal prince to abandon his title, his family, and the only life he has ever known?
A new book claims to have the answers. Real at war It came out a few weeks ago, but its explosive allegations have already drawn the attention of royal observers everywhere. The book claims that Prince Harry’s problems with his family, his title, and his country begin and end with his wife Meghan.
Kate Middleton gave Prince Harry practical advice on relationships
According to the book, the royal family was cautious when Prince Harry brought Meghan the first time. She had previously enjoyed a great relationship with her sister-in-law, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Although Kate was not a fan of the relationship, she tried to keep the peace. She gave Harry pragmatic advice that is good for everyone to keep in mind.
Sources who spoke to the authors of Real at war They state that the Duchess of Cambridge spoke to Prince Harry and “gently reminded him that he was dating someone with a completely different life, past and career and that it would take time, care and attention to integrate.”
Any bicultural relationship can be difficult. People from different cultures often have different ideas about how relationships should work, and it takes time, communication, and commitment to reconcile expectations. While Kate’s advice is valid for any relationship, Prince William’s wise words rubbed his brother the wrong way.
Prince William told Prince Harry to take it easy with Meghan
US magazine reported that Prince William thought Prince Harry was moving too fast. “The biggest cause of his alleged crack was that Wills tried to warn Harry when he met Meghan not to rush,” Sky News reporter and journalist Carole Malone said in the documentary. William and Harry: Princes at War. “I had only known her for less than a year when they got engaged,” he said. “She sat her down and told her to take it a little slow, not to run towards her.”
“It was all so fast that William and Kate didn’t have a moment to meet Meghan because Harry hardly knew her,” said Ingrid Seward, royal expert and editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine. “And of course naturally William and Kate would have thought, ‘Oh, she’s been married before, she’s older than Harry, I hope she makes him happy.’ Anyone would think that.
Emily Andrews, royal correspondent for The Sun, said in the aforementioned documentary that Prince Harry’s response to Prince William’s comments was not pleasant and that “he turned ballistic and said: ‘You are trying to ruin this relationship even before begin ‘”. Nicholl said, citing multiple sources close to the dukes, that “the dynamic changed” between the two princes and “there was a change and it was all because Harry resented his brother.”
The new book also claims that Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship began to sour after Prince Harry brought Meghan into the family. Apparently Prince William did not approve of the relationship and asked, “Is she correct?” This reportedly offended Prince Harry, who is incredibly protective of Meghan.
While Prince William’s questions and comments cast doubt on their relationship, Kate’s was more pragmatic. According to reports, her reminder was kind and she was also raising valid concerns about her different backgrounds without questioning whether Meghan was right or whether the timeline of their relationship was too fast.
Blaming Prince Harry’s relationship with Prince William for Megxit minimizes the role of British tabloids
Prince Harry and Prince William may have a strained relationship. Sources have suggested it for years, but princes have never said anything is wrong in public.
What Prince Harry has openly said is that the British tabloids were attacking his new wife and that he would not tolerate it. Prince Harry has gone so far as to initiate legal action against a media outlet for his suspicious tactics.
Since Prince Harry and Meghan’s relationship became public, the British press has harassed her, and most of the coverage has been negative. This has clearly reminded Prince Harry of his mother’s ordeal and brought back negative memories.
Although Prince William and Kate did not seem happy to see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their last trip to the United Kingdom, Prince Harry has openly said that negative media coverage influenced his decision to leave real life. Tellingly, the authors of this book are part of the British press and that they downplay their industry’s impact on Megxit.
