june which includes a variety of
official events buckingham palace must
work with the government to coordinate
as well as her yearly summer retreat to

only reasons megan and harry rushed to
the altar there was a lot of blowback
for how quickly prince harry and meghan
markle's wedding date was set in 2021
lady victoria hervey spoke with closer
magazine on the subject saying she knew
from the start the couple would end up
back in america according to the former
love interest of prince andrew and sixth
marquis of bristol the couple spent too
much time traveling during the early
days of their relationship instead of
getting to know each other plus in her
opinion the courtship was way too short
how quickly prince harry's relationship
was developing with megan was an issue
that caused a rift between harry and his
brother prince william according to
people multiple sources told the
magazine that the already tenuous
relationship between the brothers
fractured more when harry told the
family he wanted to propose to megan
less than a year after meeting her tina
brown author of the diana chronicles and
the forthcoming the palace papers inside
the house of windsor told the
independent the consensus she received
after speaking to over 120 royal
insiders was that while the rest of the
royal family adored megan william felt
she wouldn't adjust to royal life not
only would she have to give up her life
and career in america but sources told
brown there was also concern she would
be isolated with no time to build a new
group of friends in the united kingdom
prince william was also reported to have
been worried about prince harry's mental
health reports the independent the
future king was concerned harry wouldn't
be able to handle the attention he and
megan were getting especially the more
the media focused in on attacking and
harassing her because the british
tabloids will destroy your life
it's clear that megan's safety and
privacy were things prince harry worries
about deeply shortly after the news of
their dating broke prince harry made a
statement asking the media to stop
hounding and harassing megan the
statement read prince harry is worried
about miss markle's safety and is deeply
disappointed that he has not been able
to protect her this is not a game it is
her life and his but the media firestorm
around the future duchess of sussex
continued regardless of prince harry's
pleas tina brown's the palace papers
inside the house of windsor alleges that
it was the media's hunger for megan
being a major factor in a quick
engagement once they were married megan
would be entitled to the same police
protection as harry who had been a
working royal at the time but getting
married didn't stop the media's frenzy
over the couple or the harassment of the
duchess of sussex there was even a
coordinated twitter hate campaign
against the duchess if anything since
getting married everyone's wanted to see
