Prince Harry reportedly disregarded his brother Prince William's heartfelt advice about his relationship with Meghan Markle.
In an interview with The Sun, royal commentator Jennie Bond recalled instances when Prince William allegedly cautioned his younger brother to carefully consider his decisions before hastily entering into a relationship.
Bond highlighted Kate Middleton's prolonged courtship, noting that she had "ten years to observe royal life from the outside," which allowed her to understand the challenges and public scrutiny that accompany royal status.
"Kate had the opportunity to assess whether she could handle the demands of royal life, and William could see that too," Bond explained.
"That's why William was justified in advising or cautioning Harry, 'Are you sure you're not moving too quickly in this relationship with Meghan?'" the former BBC royal correspondent continued.
"While Harry may have been offended by the questioning, I believe William's intentions were good," Bond added.
Prince Harry's decision to marry Meghan Markle led to significant changes in their lives, including stepping back from royal duties and eventually relocating to the United States. Bond's reflections underscored the complexities within the royal family and the varying perspectives on navigating royal responsibilities and personal relationships.
