Brotherly solidarity: William backs Harry’s call for privacy
“No-one wanted to have to put that statement out, including Prince Harry, and there was concern about confirming the relationship”.
A source told Us that Harry ultimately made a decision to speak out because of the “level of harassment and scale of character assassination” that Markle had to endure since news of their relationship first broke in late October.
Another royal insider added: “There is just no way Prince Harry would have put that statement out if William had disapproved”. Released via Kensington Palace, the statement confirmed he was in a relationship with Markle, who is known for her role in Suits, and condemned the “racial undertones” of media coverage of her. Now new reports have emerged suggesting that Meghan Markle, the girlfriend of Prince William’s infamous brother Prince Harry, is the reason of the husband and wife’s disagreement.
William, 34, may have even been aware that Harry planned to address the gossip before he even released the statement, as the brothers reportedly addressed the situation before Harry made anything official with Markle. While both brothers issued a statement after an Italian magazine used images of their mother as she lay dying in a auto, Prince William has only spoken out a few times since. That’s what happened when Prince Harry told the world to give some much-needed privacy to his new girlfriend, Suits star Meghan Markle.
The Duke of Cambridge is concerning that this statement of his “hot-headed” brother will serve only as a fuel for further speculations about how serious Harry is about the American divorcee. “It could also put him in a hard position in the future regardless of whether the relationship leads to something or not”.
It’s good to know both royal brothers are on the same page.
Prince Harry ‘s plans for his Caribbean tour went awry today after the Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship that is his base for the trip broke down and could not leave port. “He strongly disagrees. This is not a game – it is her life and his”.
