Prince Harry: The Inside Story, a new book by Duncan Larcombe, has revealed how a joking remark by Prince William could give an insight into why Harry chose to settle down.
The publication, written by award-winning journalist and former royal editor of the Sun, has been updated with new chapters on the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship.
According to it, Prince William’s teasing of single Prince Harry could have been at the heart of why he chose to marry Suits actress Meghan Markle.
Prince William told Harry on the way back to Kensington Palace after the pair attended an official engagement with Kate Middleton something that is likely to have had an affect on Harry.
According to the book by the royal journalist, the eldest brother, 35, said: “You’re an official gooseberry.”
Harry laughed of the comments, however, it was a reference to the fact that Harry had been single for sometime, while his brother was happily married.
The author wrote: “In reality, William was spot on. Time and time again, Harry would appear by his brother and sister-in-law’s side as they attended events and posed for the camera.”
A source told Duncan Larcombe: “Although William would tease his brother for being single, and playing the role of gooseberry when he was official engagements with Kate, it was increasingly difficult for Harry.”
However, happily Prince Harry later met LA-born actress Meghan, in a love story well known to many Britons.
The couple dated secretly for around six months before news of the relationship became public.
Prince Harry and Meghan became engaged in October 2017.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wedding – what we know so far
Prince Harry and Meghan are inviting 2,640 members of the public to the grounds of Windsor Castle to be a part of their special day.
In March, Kensington Palace revealed: “Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle have said they want their Wedding Day to be shaped so as to allow members of the public to feel part of the celebrations too.
“This wedding, like all weddings, will be a moment of fun and joy that will reflect the characters and values of the Bride and Groom.”
Well-wishers will see the arrival of the bride and groom at St George’s Chapel for their 12pm ceremony and then watch the newly-wed couple in a traditional carriage procession.
Meghan Markle’s wedding flowers have been revealed by an announcement made by Kensington Palace.
Kensington Palace has revealed that floral designer Philippa Craddock, who is self-taught, will direct a team which includes florists from St George’s Chapel and Buckingham Palace to create the displays at St George’s Chapel and for St George’s Hall.
Meghan’s wedding will honour Princess Diana with white roses in her bouquet.
Princess Diana’s White Garden at Kensington Palace is a nod to the late royal and features the pale flowers.
However, Meghan Markle’s bouquet has deadly flowers that cause diarrhoea and have a sinister name.
