I just read this extract from Tom Bowers book, It seems everyone saw straight through Meghan Markle, EXCEPT Harry, long before Oprah and their Netflix show was launched on the general public.
However, Harry was reportedly "so disappointed" when Diana's family disagreed.
"No one agreed that his vulnerable mother had anything in common with his girlfriend," Bower noted, per the Daily Mail. "More discomforting for him, they thought Meghan would not fit in with the Royal Family."
Though Diana's sisters didn't directly challenge the relationship, it was her brother, Charles, who voiced concerns. Drawing from his own experiences, the Earl of Spencer advised Harry to avoid rushing into marriage.
"His advice provoked a bitter reaction," Bower wrote. "This was going to be really hard, Harry would later reflect on establishing Meghan's place in the family."
Despite skepticism from some family members, Harry has remained steadfast in comparing Meghan to his late mother.
