  • Markle allegedly embarrassed Prince Harry with her pregnancy announcement at Princess Eugenie's wedding

Kate Middleton allegedly warned Prince Harry when he started dating Meghan Markle, according to a new book.

Prince Harry was very close to his older brother, Prince William. The younger royal hence gradually developed a close bond with his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. In fact, the three royals were always spotted together in various engagements in the past and fans soon dubbed them “the royal trio.”

According to previous reports, Middleton was like a sister to Prince Harry. So the duchess was also affected when Prince Harry and Prince William had a falling-out.

A new book by investigative journalists Dylan Howard and Andy Tillett entitled “Royals At Wardiscussed the rumored feud among the royals.

Both Howard and Tillett are known to cover controversial stories. They already worked together in another book entitled “The Last Charles Manson Tapes,” which shed light on the life and twisted thinking of the most notorious American criminal and cult leader, Charles Manson.

Howard and Tillett’s new book claimed that Middleton warned Prince Harry when she learned that he was dating Markle.

“She gently reminded him that he was dating someone with a completely different life, past, and career and it would take time, care and attention for them to integrate,” the duo wrote, as quoted by Daily Mail.

The concerns however resulted in Prince Harry becoming certain that everybody in the Royal family, including the Palace aides were not in favor of his relationship with Markle.

The book also alleged that the senior royals including Markle attended a meeting. A well-placed source supposedly told Howard and Tillett that “all their IQs put together would not equal hers.”

Another source explained that Prince Harry was being protective of his wife because he failed to protect his mom, Princess Diana. Prince William’s younger sibling is going all out when it comes to Markle’s welfare. “He is so sensitive he often sees criticism or negativity where there isn’t any,” the source added.

“The rifts that eventually opened up in the Royal family after Meghan arrived could have been avoided if Harry was able to empathise and take his brother’s concerns in the spirit they were intended,” the authors concluded, as quoted by Daily Mail.

Meanwhile, Howard and Tillett also claimed that Markle embarrassed Prince Harry when she announced her pregnancy at Princess Eugenie’s big day. But another outlet claimed that it was untrue because the Sussexes did not make a pregnancy announcement at the event. Additionally, the royals including Princess Eugenie reportedly knew about Markle’s pregnancy ahead of her wedding.
