Prior to the wedding, concerns were raised within the royal circles that Meghan “would not fit in.” Prince William reportedly encouraged Earl Charles Spencer, their mother’s brother, to advise Harry to take things slower in his relationship with Meghan.
Writing in his book Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors, Tom Bower said: “Their unease was voiced by Charles Spencer, Diana’s brother.” He added: “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.”
