When Prince Harry introduced his then-girlfriend Meghan Markle to his brother, Prince William, the two were said to have “clicked” right away.

William was very fond of her, although she believed at the time that the relationship between the two would be “trying” from the off, according to Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, authors of the Pro-Sussex biography Finding Freedom.

“She was self-aware enough to understand that the brothers were wary of women who were more interested in their titles than their wellbeing,” Scobie and Durand wrote in the book. “And she couldn’t have come from a more different world than that of William, his wife, and most of their friends.”

The first-ever encounter between William and Meghan was quite pleasant for both of them.

William was reported to have said to his brother’s girlfriend: “I was looking forward to meeting the girl who has put that silly grin on my brother’s face.”

However, despite the initial connection, William believed Harry was rushing things with Meghan and advised him to take it slow, which Harry didn’t like.

“William soon began to wonder about some of Meghan’s traits and motivations,” a source told the Daily Mail, as revealed by the Express.

“He was worried that at times she seemed to be more concerned about her personal progression or profile over the wider goals and aims of the Royal Family.

The future king was said to have told his brother, “Don’t feel you need to rush this,” and “Take as much time as you need to get to know this girl.” Allegedly, Harry got upset by the phrase “this girl,” but all William wanted was “to make sure that Harry wasn’t blindsided by lust,” Omid Scobie wrote.

Eventually, William decided not to interfere because he could see Meghan was trying to do adjustments in order to fit in the family.

When it comes to Meghan and Kate, their relationship hasn’t been a close one since the beginning. The reason why, according to royal authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, was that the two never made real efforts to get to know each other better.

“Meghan would agree with the assessment that the Duchesses were not the best of friends,” they wrote in Finding Freedom. “Their relationship hadn’t progressed much since [Markle] was Harry’s girlfriend.”

Further, the authors claimed that Meghan expected some form of support from Kate, especially during the hard time she had experienced with the press, but she didn’t receive it.

According to what Harry wrote in Spare, Meghan and Kate got into an argument prior to the Sussexes’ wedding.

Allegedly, Kate wasn’t happy with Princess Charlotte’s dress, who was a flower-girl.

However, although Kate claimed her daughter was in distress because of the dress, which allegedly was “too big, too long, too baggy,” she refused to meet Meghan’s tailor at Kensington Palace to have it fixed.

“Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father,” Harry said. “Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!”

“I’m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit then, please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He’s been waiting all day,” Meghan texted Kate, according to Harry.

Kate replied with, “Fine,” Harry explained in his all-tell memoir.

The relationship between the two has been stranded ever since Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties. However, when Kate disclosed with the public her cancer diagnosis some months ago, the Sussexes reached out to her, sharing their concerns and offering support.

Meghan refuses to travel to Britain with her children due to the lack of protection, which further deepens the rift with the rest of the royals.
