Prince Philip was one of the few royals to warn Prince Harry<\/a> of his relationship with Meghan Markle<\/a>, according to experts, as he issued a stern nine-word warning when they got engaged. Writing in his revealing book Entitled, Andrew Lownie claimed that Harry\u2019s grandfather was less supportive than the other family members of Meghan\u2019s joining the Firm. Upon announcing their wedding plans, Philip reportedly said: \u201cOne steps out with actresses, one doesn’t marry them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harry, 41, got down on one knee after just 16-months of the pair dating, and royal biographer Ingrid Seward said Philip was less than impressed. In her book My Mother and I, Harry\u2019s grandfather was \u201cone of the very few wary\u201d of Meghan, 44, during the start of the couple\u2019s relationship. Philip also bestowed what he thought to be a humorous nickname of Meghan after Wallis Simpson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Duchess of Windsor was an American socialite who King Edward VIII abdicated to marry, therefore Philip named Meghan \u201cDOW\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, Philip was not alone in his caution over Harry\u2019s marriage to Meghan, as Prince William<\/a> was reportedly \u201cnervous\u201d about the wedding.<\/p>\n

In Harry\u2019s memoir Spare, he wrote of his brother\u2019s warnings to him prior to the big day. He said: \u201c\u2018It’s too fast\u2019, he’d told me. \u2018Too soon\u2019. In fact, he’d actually been pretty discouraging about me even dating Meg.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the numerous warnings, the pair married in May 2018. However, the Sussexes quickly withdrew from royal duties and relocated to North America in January 2020, causing Philip\u2019s negative views to deepen further.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ms Seward said Harry\u2019s grandfather could not comprehend why Meghan didn\u2019t follow his lead; After becoming the Duke of Edinburgh, Philip gave up his birth citizenship, his naval career and his surname.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sky News in 2020, the royal expert said: \u201cI think he’s very, very disappointed because I think he feels he gave up his naval career in order to stand by the Queen and help the monarchy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd why can’t Meghan just give up her acting career, support her husband and support the monarchy?<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just cannot understand why she couldn’t support Harry and help him rather than wanting to have her voice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
