Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been married for over six years, but their journey together has been filled with both love and tension. After their grand wedding in 2018, the couple quickly faced challenges within the royal family. In 2020, they made the significant decision to step back from their royal duties, leaving behind their life in the UK and, sadly, fracturing their once-close relationships with Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The love story between Harry and Meghan began in 2016 after a blind date set up by a mutual friend. Though their first meeting got off to a rocky start when Harry was late, their connection grew quickly. Despite Prince William’s concerns that Harry was moving too fast, Harry was certain about his feelings for Meghan. Their relationship blossomed, and by 2018, they were married.
However, tensions with the royal family became more apparent over time. Prince William reportedly advised Harry to take things slow with Meghan, which upset Harry. Meghan’s introduction to the royal family, including Prince William, initially seemed positive, but relations later soured. William’s concerns about Meghan’s intentions and how fast the relationship developed led to strain between the brothers.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s relationship with Kate Middleton also never fully developed. Meghan hoped that Kate would support her as she navigated her new royal role, but the two never became close. Today, Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the royal family remains strained, and any hopes for reconciliation seem uncertain, especially as Meghan reportedly holds grievances over past treatment.
