As the world marks the sixth anniversary of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s wedding, conversations around their union have reignited.
One royal analyst suggests that Harry’s decision to marry was influenced by his desire to mirror his older brother, Prince William, who has embraced family life with his wife, Kate Middleton.
This perspective sheds light on the complexities of royal relationships and the pressures that come with them.
According to royal expert Dickie Arbiter, Prince Harry was eager to settle down and start a family, much like William did with Kate back in 2011.
Arbiter shared this insight during an interview with Times Radio, pointing out that Harry’s engagement to Meghan in late 2017 came just over a year after they began dating.
The couple tied the knot on May 19, 2018, but some believe that Harry may have rushed into this significant commitment.
Reflecting on Harry’s past relationships, Arbiter noted that many of the women he dated were not keen on living under the constant scrutiny of the public eye.
This sentiment resonates with Harry’s own aspirations for a traditional family life, which he seemed to want to achieve at a rapid pace.
He admired William’s journey and perhaps felt a sense of urgency to follow in his footsteps.
Interestingly, Arbiter speculated that if Princess Diana had been alive at the time of Harry’s marriage, things might have turned out differently.
He expressed doubt that Harry would have married Meghan under those circumstances.
Diana, known for her protective nature, would have likely scrutinized any potential partner for her sons, ensuring they were suitable matches.
Former royal butler Grant Harrold weighed in on how Harry and Meghan are likely commemorating their anniversary this year.
He suggested that the couple would celebrate privately in the United States, possibly enjoying a quiet dinner party with close friends or even just a cozy evening alone together.
This preference for privacy aligns with their lifestyle since stepping back from royal duties.
