Prince William's well-meaning advice to Prince Harry concerning Meghan
Markle reportedly caused friction between the brothers and continues to be a
point of contention.
In Omid Scobie's book "Finding Freedom," it was noted that Prince Harry and
his older brother were navigating different paths at the time. During the
early stages of Prince Harry's relationship with Meghan, Prince William
offered some brotherly advice. He advised Harry to "take as much time as you
need to get to know this girl."
Prince William's intention was to ensure that his brother had a solid
foundation in his relationship and wasn't rushing into things driven solely by
infatuation. However, it appears that his choice of words, specifically using
"this girl," was perceived differently.
The phrase "this girl" was interpreted by Prince Harry as snobbish and
condescending, rather than the well-intentioned caution that Prince William
had intended it to be. This miscommunication created tension between the two
brothers and has reportedly left Prince Harry feeling upset.
This incident highlights the complexities of sibling relationships, where even well-intentioned advice can be misconstrued, leading to misunderstandings and disagreements.
