Meghan Markle never got a chance when it came to Prince William. And a new report reveals three very different reasons why William disliked Meghan so much.
Find out why Prince Harry’s decision to tie the knot with the former Suits actress horrified his brother. And keep reading to learn all the reasons why William believed Harry made a huge mistake.
Prince William Disliked Meghan Markle From Day One
Not a fan. With all due respect to the non-royal cast of Suits, Prince William will never become a fan of the legal drama. And that’s because it includes his enemy Meghan Markle.
But sources via InStyle have revealed that Prince William hated Meghan from day one. And among three key reasons for his distaste, William viewed Meghan as “the living embodiment of an ‘outsider’,” revealed one insider.
resisted any efforts to get her to “dive back into the soap opera,” say insiders.
However, royal author Omid Scobie also shared that William felt Harry made the wrong choice in wanting to marry the former Suits star. And Scobie shared, “William had been wanting to distance himself from his brother ever since Harry’s marriage to Meghan — whom the then Duke of Cambridge took a disliking to from the start.
Prince William Felt Harry Ignored Risks
But beyond viewing Meghan as an outsider, William found two more reasons to dislike the American actress. First, Harry’s brother believed that he had become “swept up in her glamour and American joie de vivre.” And second, William felt that Harry became blindsided to the dangers.
As a result, William believed that Harry couldn’t and wouldn’t “acknowledge the rules and risks of managing a relationship within the institutional apparatus.” And he also felt concerned that Meghan could hurt “the family image.”
But William also wanted Harry to slow down, according to Scobie. And he believed that Harry “was rushing into something that had serious blow-back potential.”
King Charles Stages Intervention
But the clashes between Harry and William over Meghan concerned King Charles. As a result, Charles arranged for an intervention. And he did his best to mend the rift between the brothers. But Harry became more angry at William for failing to welcome Meghan into the royal family.
However, amid Harry’s and Meghan’s time in the UK, they scored only one holiday invitation. And that invite occurred when King Charles convinced Prince William and Princess Kate to host the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for Christmas at Anmer Hall.
But throughout her years in the UK, Meghan “never felt at home.” As a result, the Duchess of Sussex has made no plans to visit England again. And Meghan has resisted any efforts to get her to “dive back into the soap opera,” say insiders.
Overall, Prince William gave three reasons for disliking Meghan Markle. First, her outsider status; second, the risks to the royal family that she might embarrass them, and third, his belief that Meghan’s glamour blinded Harry to the downside.
