The news came after the Duchess of Sussex, the Duke of Sussex and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, had a reunion with King Charles and Queen Camilla.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As reported by <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Mirror;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/royals\/prince-harry-meghan-uk-portugal-37463935\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">The Mirror<\/a>, Marlene Koenig, a royal historian and expert, told them that &#8220;Meghan was not comfortable with all the rules.&#8221; The person continued, &#8220;William was right to advise Harry to take his time and not rush into marriage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the meantime, per the news outlet, Marlene Koenig further said to them that &#8220;The family learned valuable lessons from the marital failures (Charles &amp; Diana and Andrew &amp; Sarah).&#8221; The royal expert then explained, &#8220;Neither couple got to know each other well before the marriage.&#8221; The person added, &#8220;No real courtships.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meanwhile, Marlene Koenig then talked to the news outlet about which royal couples got the opportunity to live together before they tied the knot. The royal expert said, &#8220;Edward and Sophie and William and Catherine lived together before their marriages.&#8221; The expert further claimed, &#8220;That time allowed the women to learn what life would be like as a royal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After that, Marlene Koenig explained to the news outlet that Meghan Markle &#8220;was not afforded that time.&#8221; The royal expert continued, &#8220;And perhaps if they lived together for a few years.&#8221; &#8220;Meghan would have had more time to observe,&#8221; the expert also added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Originally reported by Nikita Nath on <\/em><a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reality Tea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/07\/27\/meghan-markle-kate-middleton-advantage-marriage-expert\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Reality Tea<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Meghan Markle Missed Out on What Kate Middleton Had in Marriage \u2014 Expert;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/fun\/1818832-meghan-markle-kate-middleton-advantage-marriage-expert\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Meghan Markle Missed Out on What Kate Middleton Had in Marriage \u2014 Expert<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meghan Markle reportedly missed out on what Kate Middleton got to have before her marriage into the royal family.
