Biographer Reveals Prince Philip Warned Prince Harry Before Marrying Meghan Markle
A royal biographer recently claimed that Prince Philip issued a grave warning to Prince Harry before his marriage to Meghan Markle. Andrew Lownie’s revelations have resurfaced amidst ongoing speculation about tensions in Harry and Meghan’s relationship, particularly following reports of Meghan’s emotional distress during a recent outing in California.
Prince Philip’s Stark Warning to Prince Harry
According to Lownie, in his book “Entitled,” Prince Philip cautioned Harry regarding the potential complications of marrying Meghan Markle. He allegedly told his grandson, “One steps out with actresses, one doesn’t marry them,” prior to the couple’s engagement in 2017. This warning suggests that Philip had reservations about Meghan from the very beginning.
Similar sentiments emerged from royal author Ingrid Seward, who noted that Philip was particularly cautious about Meghan during their courtship in 2016. Seward’s commentary highlights Philip’s lasting concerns, which were evident even during the wedding ceremony at Windsor Castle in May 2018. Reports detail that Philip reportedly expressed relief, saying, “Thank fk that’s over,” after the completion of the ceremony.
Current Strains in the Marriage
Recently, Meghan has shown signs of distress, which insiders attribute to mounting pressures within her marriage. They report that Harry and Meghan have struggled with boundaries concerning their children, Archie and Lilibet, and their visibility in the public sphere. Disagreements over social media posts featuring their children have reportedly caused friction. Harry, who is aware of the challenges of growing up in the spotlight, has expressed discomfort about Meghan sharing images of their children.
- Prince Archie is 6 years old.
- Princess Lilibet is 4 years old.
Insiders indicate that disagreements intensified after Meghan shared a Halloween-themed Instagram post that included partial images of the children. This incident reportedly upset Harry and added further strain to their relationship.
Meghan’s Return to Acting
In light of these challenges, Meghan has reportedly resumed acting, recently filming a cameo in the comedy “Close Personal Friends.” Sources suggest this may be more than just a creative endeavor; it could signify her effort to regain independence amidst marital difficulties. One insider mentioned that returning to her roots might serve as her “backup plan” if she chooses to distance herself from the marriage.
Potential Financial Implications
Should their marriage come to an end, experts estimate that a divorce could cost Harry approximately $60 million, unless a prenup exists that has not been disclosed. As the couple continues to navigate their relationship, Harry has expressed a desire for reconciliation with his family, even attending notable royal events such as King Charles’ coronation.
As both sides carefully maneuver through personal and public challenges, the long-term implications of Prince Philip’s warning and the ongoing strains in Harry and Meghan’s marriage remain a topic of keen interest. The dynamics of their relationship continue to evolve as they manage their roles as public figures and parents to their two young children.
