A royal biographer recently shared that Prince Philip warned Prince Harry about marrying Meghan Markle. This moment has gained attention again as questions about their marriage arise.
Reports suggest Meghan appeared upset during a recent outing in California, raising concerns about their relationship. Insiders say Harry and Meghan have faced conflicts, especially regarding how much they share about their children online.
In his book, Andrew Lownie claims that Prince Philip told Harry, “One steps out with actresses, one doesn’t marry them.” This advice seems to echo sentiments from other royal authors. Ingrid Seward noted Philip’s skepticism about Meghan from the start of their relationship.
After Harry and Meghan married in 2018, Philip’s concerns didn’t fade. A former royal butler said Philip expressed relief after the ceremony, suggesting he wasn’t entirely reassured about their union.
Since stepping away from royal duties in 2020 to start a new life in North America, Harry and Meghan have become parents to Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4. Yet, tensions seem to linger over their children’s privacy, a point of contention for the couple. Meghan shared a Halloween post that seemingly upset Harry, highlighting their differing views on public exposure.
Experts believe these pressure points may be leading to strain in their marriage. Meghan has even been seen returning to acting, possibly as a means to regain independence amid difficult times. Legal expert Louis J. Shapiro estimates that a divorce could see Harry lose up to $60 million unless he had a prenup.
Social media reactions to their situation show mixed feelings. Some echo Prince Philip’s skepticism, while others express support for the couple. The dynamics of their relationship have sparked varied opinions online, indicating widespread public interest in Harry and Meghan’s journey.
As Harry navigates family events without Meghan, the couple’s future seems uncertain. While they’ve both expressed hopes for reconciliation with the royal family, the challenges they face may lead to a continued public spotlight.
