How Prince William Showed His Support To Prince Harry Over Meghan Markle Relationship

Prince William and Prince Harry were rumored to have had a falling out after the former didn’t show his support to the royal couple.

Two years ago, the Duke of Sussex told his older brother that he was already planning on marrying the Duchess of Sussex, but Prince William didn’t seem ecstatic. The dad of three was worried that Prince Harry and Markle were jumping into a lifetime commitment without knowing each other that well.

But it has now been revealed that Prince William actually supported Prince Harry and Markle’s relationship. However, Kate Middleton’s husband may not have been sold with the idea of the couple tying the knot immediately.

Prince Harry and Markle started dating in 2016 and after their relationship was made public, the “Suits” alum became the victim of racism. Prince Harry’s then-girlfriend was also criticized for being a divorcee.

The Duke of Sussex released a statement urging the media to respect his partner. And according to a royal insider, Prince Harry must have asked Prince William’s permission first if he could release a statement on behalf of his girlfriend.

“They don’t issue statements like that without talking to each other, and they talked about the Meghan Markle statement extensively in advance of it being put out. The Duke was as alarmed as anyone about what was happening with Meghan… No one wanted to have to put that statement out, including Prince Harry, and there was concern about confirming the relationship,” a royal insider said.

Three years ago, Prince William and Prince Harry still shared advisers so they certainly must have discussed the issue on hand. And a second insider said that there’s no way Prince Harry would’ve released the statement without his older brother’s approval.

Prince William and Prince Harry used to rely on each other for everything. But after they tied the knot to their spouses, their relationship has reportedly turned sour.
