Meghan's Introduction to the Royal Family

  • 💡 There was initial excitement within the palace for Harry's girlfriend, Meghan, who was seen as successful and impressive.
  • ⚠️ However, nervousness existed due to Meghan's "go-getter Californian attitude" and independent personality, which differed from traditional royal figures.

Underlying Fraternal Conflict

  • 🚨 Harry felt aggrieved by differential treatment, noting William and Catherine received earlier security and advice from courtiers that was not afforded to him and Meghan.

The Royal Departure

  • ✅ Catherine believed if Harry and Meghan wanted to leave, they should be allowed to, prioritizing the institution and William's future.

Post-Exit Relations and Distrust

  • 💔 Harry and Meghan's abrupt departure, announced via Instagram, led to fractured relationships and ill feeling on both sides.
  • ⚠️ Catherine advised William to approach conversations with Harry with "utmost caution," believing Meghan and Harry were "not to be trusted."
