New Claims Link William’s ‘Take Your Time’ Advice and Philip’s Actress Warning to Royal Rift

Biographical accounts resurface pre‑wedding cautions as the starting point of the brothers’ estrangement.

Overview

  • Recent coverage highlights Andrew Lownie’s book recounting Prince Philip’s reported warning to Harry — “one steps out with actresses, one doesn’t marry them” — first noted by The Sunday Times in 2019, with no palace confirmation.
  • Royal experts quoted via The Sun, summarized by Geo News, say Prince William urged Harry to slow down before marrying Meghan, advice said to have landed badly and marked the beginning of tensions.
  • Journalist Robert Jobson recounts reports of specific flashpoints, including a strained Christmas stay and complaints about wedding hospitality, as signs the relationship between the couples deteriorated.
  • People notes Harry’s memoir, Spare, describes William airing early concerns yet says he “never” tried to dissuade the marriage, underscoring conflicting portrayals of William’s role.
  • The brothers’ last widely noted public appearance together was at Queen Elizabeth II’s 2022 funeral, and there has been no official sign of reconciliation or new comment from the palace.
