Prince Harry reveals William and Kate’s ‘main issue’ at his wedding to Meghan Markle
Prince Harry‘s marriage to Meghan Markle was quite controversial and also marked the beginning of a rift between the couple and the royal family. In his 2023 memoir, Spare, Harry disclosed that tensions between the royals began to get more intense during his wedding to Markle.
Writing about one incident from his wedding in his memoir, Harry claimed that Prince William and Kate Middleton’s main issue during the wedding was with the name cards at the reception not being placed in a traditional British way.
Harry recounted a particular gathering held at Kensington Palace back in June 2018: “For our part, we chipped in that we weren’t too pleased when Willy and Kate switched place cards and changed seats at our wedding.
We’d followed the American tradition, placing couples next to each other, but Willy and Kate didn’t like that tradition, so their table was the only one where spouses were apart.”
As reported by the Mirror, he added, “They insisted it wasn’t them, it was someone else. And they said we’d done the same thing at Pippa’s wedding. We hadn’t. Much as we’d wanted to.”
“We’d been separated by a huge flower arrangement between us, and though we’d desperately wanted to sit together, we hadn’t done a thing about it. None of this airing of grievances was doing us any good, I felt. We weren’t getting anywhere,” the Duke added.
Tensions have been growing between the two couples for a while now. However, for a short time, Harry and Markle, along with William and Middleton, were popularly known as the ‘Fab Four.’ In his memoir Spare, Harry mentioned that things seemed promising initially, even before Harry introduced Markle to the royal family, as reported by TIME.
