According to a book, Prince William warned brother Prince Harry about taking things slowly in the early days of his romance with Meghan Markle – but it didn’t go to plan

The feud between Prince William and Prince Harry has been raging for many years now.

Rumours of a rift first began to circulate not long after Harry married wife Meghan Markle and in 2019, the younger brother all but confirmed a falling out during an ITV documentary, where he said he and William were on ‘different paths’. There have seemingly been many flashpoints in the pair’s frosty relationship over the past few years – and according to a book, one came when William tried to offer some brotherly advice to his younger sibling, but things didn’t quite go to plan.

In the Harry and Meghan biography, Finding Freedom, it says that William feared his brother had been “blindsided by lust” in his bid to marry Meghan. The co-authors claim the Duke of Sussex was angered by what he perceived as his brother’s ‘snobbish’ attitude to his bride. Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie claim Harry was offended by William’s unwanted advice to “take as much time as you need to get to know this girl”.
