Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signalled their relationship with royal life would struggle in the early stages of their engagement, according to an expert.
The Duke of Sussex proposed just a year after the duo began seeing each other – promptly followed by their first-ever joint interview to discuss their impending nuptials with BBC broadcaster Mishal Husain.
However, expert Ashley Pearson said this was when “things really started to sour.” Meghan’s lack of preparedness was apparent during this pivotal chat.
Ms Husain asked Meghan if her family had been “worried at all about the scale of what you’re getting into?”, to which the Duchess replied: “Well, I’m sure at the onset, both of my parents and my close friends were concerned. I did not have any understanding of just what it would be like.”
Later in the interview, Harry added: “I think you can have as many conversations as you want and try and prepare as much as possible. But we were totally unprepared for what happened after that. I still have to have some pretty frank conversations with her to say, you know, ‘What you’re letting yourself in for … it’s a big deal and it’s not … easy for anybody’.”
