Prince Philip Reportedly Advised Harry Against Marrying Meghan Markle

Prince Philip, the grandfather of Prince Harry, apparently had reservations about his grandson's decision to marry American actress Meghan Markle.

According to a report from the UK's Sunday Times, Philip advised Harry that “one steps out with actresses, one doesn't marry them.”

The alleged remarks were made by the 98-year-old Philip as Harry's relationship with Meghan grew more serious.

The couple announced their engagement in November 2017 and got married in May of the following year.

However, it wasn't just Philip who had concerns about the union.

Harry's older brother, Prince William, also expressed worry about how quickly the relationship between Harry and the former “Suits” actress was progressing.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl revealed that William wanted to ensure that Harry was making the right decision, but Harry interpreted his brother's concern as lack of support, causing tensions between the two.

Despite the strained relationship between the brothers, William does acknowledge the positive impact Meghan has had on Harry.

Nicholl stated that William sees how happy Meghan makes his brother and is impressed by her work ethic and quick adaptation to royal life.

William has come to realize that Meghan is probably the best thing to happen to Harry.

The distance between the brothers has become physical as well, with Harry and Meghan moving from Kensington Palace to Frogmore Cottage before the birth of their son, Archie.

However, it seems that William is slowly accepting Meghan's role in Harry's life and the happiness she brings him.

The reports of Philip's advice and William's concerns shed light on the complexities within the royal family and the challenges faced by Harry and Meghan as they navigate their relationship amidst public scrutiny.

It shows that even the closest family members have their reservations and disagreements, but ultimately, they want what is best for each other
