Princess Diana's warning is at the root of William and Harry Rift

Diana told her sons to make sure that the women they married were "the one" - and William was not sure that Meghan was.


Whenprincess diana Deceased in 1997 in a car accident that knocked out the world, all thoughts were on his young sons,Prince WilliamandPrince Harry, who were respectively 15 and 12 years old at the time. The view of the two young deprived boys in their dark costumeswalk behind the coffin of their mother will always be integrated into our collective consciousness. Following the tragedy, everyone close to Diana expressed concerns for "his boys", as she always called them. But they citedWilliam and Harry in brotherly link as something they could always count.

As William and Harry grew up to be men, this link seemed unbreakable. But all this changed in 2016, when Harry started going out with HarryMeghan murderAnd William reminded his brother advice that their mother had once given them. "William and Harry knew at the time how much their mother was deeply unhappyHis disastrous marriage in Charles"A Royal Initiate told me." She wanted this to be a maturity tale for them. Diana and Charles were alone together a little over a dozen times before their wedding. They both had a second thought, but felt a duty to pass through her. Diana told William and Harry to do absolutely sure the woman they wanted to get married was "the one" and not rushing or being forced with nothing. "

Concerned about the fact that his brother moved too fast with Meghan, William would have recalled Harry from his mother's warning. According toDaily mail,He would have asked Harry: "Are you sure you do the right thing?" My sources confirmed that Harry was deeply injured and offended by William's question. "Harry felt that William was dedicated to his relationship with Meghan since the beginning. It has never changed, things have just worse," said my source.

According to the initiates, there had been the third wheel of royal commitments for a long time with his brother and his sister-in-law,Kate MiddletonHarry had become more and more tired of being the "reserve" without any other significant by his side when he met Meghan in the summer of 2016. He had a long-term relationship (withChelsy Davy), actress datedCressida Bonas For two years and would have had a number of cracks. By the time Meghan showedIn Soho House in London for their blind date This fateful summer, Harry was ready to settle. Like Harry said it inHis post-engagement interview with the BBC, "All the stars have been aligned." He fell his head on Meghan's in love heels in a few months.

Harry had been drifting after serving 10 years in the army, the only placeHe said he felt "normal". While William had a clearly defined path as a future king, Harry was undefined. ForRoyals in similar situations in the pastThis has led both unsatisfactory (Princess Margaret's resolutely unhappy life) and outright disastrous (Prince Andrew's Involvement with Jeffrey Epstein) existence. When Harry founded the invictus games, he gave him a renewed sense. It was not a coincidence for the first time that the public saw Harry and Meghan as a couple in an invictus event. Royal Insiders told me that he was delighted that in Meghan he had found someone even passionate about making a difference in the world.

"Meghan made Harry feels well understood and important for the first time," said my source. "She encouraged him to defend himself in the family and to make his feelings known."

TOThe marriage of Harry and Meghan in May 2018The brothers seemed close, but behind the scenes, said an initiate: "The feelings were injured about various things that chose sensitivities. There were hard words and tears with a fitting withPrincess charlotte Between Catherine and Meghan, who upset William. Meghan said she could not wear a certain diadem she wanted, who angry with Harry. And theincident with his father and paparazzi was just a nightmare for everyone. He has highly high memories. "

After nearly a year ofRumors of family discord, the feelings of Harry and Meghan deep misfortune were at full posting at the end of 2019ITV documentary when Harry everything except confirmed hisStanding WILLIAMAnd Meghan said she could no longer conform to the British ethics "Raide upper lip". "It was the beginning of the end," said my source.

Then, on January 8, Harry and Meghan made an amazing announcement that they wereretreat from their royal senior duties. In the ensuing weeks, "Megxit" proved to be a complicated and prolonged negotiation that eventually did not have what they wanted.

The Queen, having failed to convince Harry and Meghan to stay at the U.K. As a senior royal,strict termsIn exchange for their official release. The plan of the aussels to be part-time royals has been nixed, they should not use their RHHH and "Sussex Royal" titles would not be allowed to be used in their quest for "financial independence".

In the end, an initiate told meHarry felt "pushed" While William was "furious" about how his brother and his sister-in-law "reflected the queen" and "behaved like celebrities instead of Royals. "

"Harry and William could not be more distant in all respects now," concluded my source. "It's a breathtaking tour of events. Diana knew it was important that William and Harry be there for the other because they were both facing huge responsibilities as senior members of the royal family As they grew up and became men. She did not want anything more for both that being happy and sharing this happiness with each other. She would be devastated by all that. "
