The Prince of Wales had a very x-rated response to the shocking news when the Duke of Sussex revealed his relationship with Meghan Markle to his brother.
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle started dating in 2016, just two years before they got married, no one was more surprised than Harry’s older brother, Prince William.
The Sussexes’ first official engagement as a couple took place in 2017 at the Invictus Games in Toronto, Canada, but rumors had been circulating about their romance for a while. Meghan and Harry met in Botswana for a lengthy trip where their relationship blossomed after just two dates.
But before Harry debuted his new girlfriend in front of the world, he introduced her to his closest friends and family, including all the senior members of the Firm.

According to Prince Harry ’s memoir Spare, he first introduced Meghan to his close circle of friends, and when their meeting went so well, he decided it was time for his future wife to meet his father, King Charles, as well as his brother and sister-in-law, William and Kate.
Before Meghan met the royal family in person, Harry broke the news of their relationship to William and Kate over an intimate family dinner at their London home. In his autobiography, Harry claims his brother “knew something was going on” and wanted to know more.
After young Prince George and Princess Charlotte were tucked up in bed, Harry took the plunge and shared the news, but not until Kate and William had promised to keep his secret.
He first claimed that the new woman in his life was an American actress before adding that she was a Suits actress. Their mouths spewed open, according to Harry in Spare. They exchanged glances. Then Willy said to me, “F*** off!”
Harry claims that the royal couple later said it was impossible, causing him to wonder. Then Kate and William revealed that Meghan was a true Suit fan, making her and Kate very clear.
Harry recalls their first meeting in later chapters of the book, admitting that the late Queen’s introduction had given him more anxiety than the book.
He states, “After a wait, my big brother was undressed when the door opened.” Nice shirt, nice shirt, and a collar that goes open. Meg and I introduced each other, and when he leaned in and hugged him, it completely freaked him out. He sat down. Meg hugged most strangers, but Willy didn’t, unlike Willy. A classic collision of cultures, like a flashlight-torch, was present, which was both endearing and funny.
Meghan also spoke candidly of the meeting in the 2022 Netflix docuseries titled Harry & Meghan, saying: “When Will and Kate came over and I met her for the first time they came over for dinner. I remember I was in ripped jeans and I was barefoot. I’ve always been a hugger, I didn’t realise that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.
“I guess I soon realized that the formality on the outside had a long history inside. When you close the door and say “You can relax now,” there is a forward-facing way of being, but the formality persists on both sides. And I found that to be surprising.
