So it may not come as a surprise that prior to their “fairytale” wedding in 2018 some royal watchers had their doubts about the union between the cable actress and the Vegas pool boy.
The Markle’s Married In 2018
Even prior to Bower’s book, Lady Victoria Hervey, a former girlfriend of disgraced Prince Andrew, told Express that Harry and Meghan would ditch the monarchy.
“I think Harry and Meghan’s courtship was way too short. I just don’t see it lasting,” she told The Sun. “I remember just before their wedding, I thought, ‘They’ll get married, have a few kids … And she will end up wanting to be in America.’ They were always traveling somewhere. They moved too fast.”
Lady Hervey Opined About the Markle’s
According to The Independent, Prince William, “warned him not to rush into marriage because he worried that Meghan wouldn’t be able to adjust to royal life.”
On top of that, “now it’s been revealed that one of Queen Elizabeth’s closest advisors had the same concerns months before Harry and Meghan walked down the aisle.”
Concerns Over Prince Harry and Meghan
Lady Susan Hussey is one of Queen Elizabeth’s closest advisors and she echoed William’s concerns before Harry and Meghan walked down the aisle, claiming that the marriage would, “end in tears.”
According to Bower’s new book about, “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War between the Windsors,” Lady Susan Hussey, “the queen’s lady in waiting, was at a lunch with theater professionals when Meghan’s name came up. Before their walk down the aisle in 2018, one of Queen Elizabeth’s closest advisors had a bad feeling about the union of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.”
“While discussing the possibility that Meghan might become associated with the National Theatre after the wedding,” Hussey reportedly said, “That will all end in tears. Mark my words.”
Hussey is no hanger-on, she is Prince William’s godmother and has been a part of the royal household since 1960. It was Hussey who was asked to ride alone with the queen to Prince Philip’s funeral. Perhaps most importantly, “Hussey was also part of the group tasked with helping Meghan adjust to royal life before her wedding to Prince Harry.”
