A newly published biography discloses that Prince William \u201csought assurances\u201d to stop his brother\u2019s wife, Meghan Markle, from ever wearing their late mother\u2019s cherished jewelry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published on August 6, Robert Jobson\u2019s new book, \u201cCatherine, the Princess of Wales: A Biography of the Future Queen,\u201d sheds light on how Prince William had reservations about Meghan Markle wearing Princess Diana\u2019s jewelry collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book highlights the strained relationship between the brothers before Harry\u2019s wedding in May 2018. By the time William agreed to be Harry\u2019s best man, their relationship had worsened, and the Prince of Wales grew concerned about Harry\u2019s choice of partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert\u2019s book read, \u201cWilliam, still concerned by the match, even sought assurances from the Queen that his brother\u2019s bride-to-be would not wear any jewelry in the collection once worn by Diana, Princess of Wales, even though his wife Catherine had been allowed to wear some, which would be due to her rank [sic].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book also sheds light on the increasing distance between the two couples. When offered a chance to move next to William and Catherine at Kensington Palace, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex declined. Despite efforts to downplay the feud, the divide became obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a source in Robert\u2019s book, Meghan was \u201ctaken aback\u201d by the stark difference in living conditions between the brothers. The source claimed, \u201cIt was perhaps the beginning of all the tensions between the two couples.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meghan understood William\u2019s higher rank, but she believed Harry deserved more because of his royal status. Further insight into the situation comes from former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June 2024, speaking to The Sun, Jennie expressed that Meghan should have been given more time to adjust to royal life. She compared Harry and Meghan\u2019s quick courtship with William and Catherine\u2019s decade-long relationship, which allowed the Princess of Wales to better understand the demands of royalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKate was given ten years to peer into the goldfish bowl of royal life. I think it was brilliant she saw all the restrictions and glare of publicity it brings,\u201d Jennie said. She added that William\u2019s warning to Harry about rushing into the relationship with Meghan \u201ccame from a good place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Jennie pointed out that slower courtships, like those of William and Catherine, as well as Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, who is married to Prince Edward, have led to more successful royal marriages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from allegedly banning Meghan from using Diana\u2019s jewelry, William supposedly took another decisive step by dismissing a key figure from his payroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He removed Queen Camilla\u2019s sister, Annabel Elliot, from the Duchy of Cornwall\u2019s payroll, surprising netizens. As per The Telegraph on July 24, Annabel has been the estate\u2019s interior designer since 2005, working under King Charles III\u2019s direction on various royal properties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
