Prince Harry’s uncle Earl Spencer once warned his royal nephew against marrying Meghan Markle, a resurfaced book has claimed.

Prince Harry ’s uncle Earl Spencer reportedly warned the Duke of Sussex against marrying Meghan Markle in 2018 because he thought the former actress “would not fit in”.

According to royal author Tom Bower, the Spencer family were mortified by the comparison and saw no likeness between the then-Suits actress and the late People’s Princess. “He was disappointed. No one agreed that his vulnerable mother had anything in common with his girlfriend.Harry first laid eyes on his future wife in July 2016 and would marry the American divorcee at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle less than two years later.

According to Mr Bower, a concerned William stepped in before the wedding and encouraged their uncle Earl Spencer to convince Harry to slow down the courtship with Markle.“At William's request, Spencer weighed in. Three times married, Spencer cautioned his nephew to reconsider his haste towards marriage. His advice provoked a bitter reaction.”
