It was based on Harry&#8217;s own account of the interaction, and the show claimed Harry was furious and &#8220;very biased&#8221; towards his then-girlfriend. One of the experts said: &#8220;She&#8217;s an American actress, as though something like that made her more of a flibbertigibbet [to William]. Anything might happen. It was quite a whirlwind relationship, as I understood it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Harry was furious. He was very biased, as far as he [William] was concerned, I think he probably already felt that he&#8217;d found the one.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He thought that he was in fantasyland, and here William was telling him, actually, you might not be able to trust this woman.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/bbc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BBC<\/a> royal correspondent Jennie Bond has previously discussed the incident, telling The <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qG-bEM2wv7g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sun<\/a>: &#8220;He [William] was correct to guide or warn Harry &#8216;are you sure you&#8217;re not going a bit fast?&#8217; I think it came from a good place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">The royal commentator explained that the marriages that have &#8220;survived&#8221; within the Royal Family so far <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/1826932\/prince-edward-duchess-sophie-marriage\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">have had long courtships<\/a>, such as with Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/prince-edward\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Prince Edward<\/a>. She said: &#8220;That is one of the most delightfully happy marriages in the Royal Family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite his brother\u2019s cautions, Harry proposed to Meghan in 2017, just over a year into their long-distance relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Since stepping away from royal duties in a move dubbed &#8220;Megxit&#8221; in February 2020, neither Harry nor Meghan have shied away from sharing their side of the story regarding interactions with William and Catherine.<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">The Duchess said: &#8220;I was in ripped jeans, and I was barefoot. I was a hugger, always been a hugger. I didn&#8217;t realise that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">&#8220;I guess I started to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside. That there is a forward-facing way of being. And then you close the door, and you&#8217;re like, &#8216;oh, great. Okay, we can relax now&#8217;. But that formality carries over on both sides.
