Historian says Harry and Meghan lacked preparation for royal life
Prince William advised Prince Harry not to rush his marriage to Meghan Markle, warning that joining the royal family carries significant responsibility.
Royal historian Marlene Koenig agreed with William, noting that past royal marital failures (Charles & Diana, Andrew & Sarah) occurred due to lack of courtship.
Koenig pointed out that Edward and Sophie, and William and Catherine, lived together before marriage, which allowed them to learn about royal life, a step Meghan missed.
Harry and Meghan renounced their royal roles in 2020 and moved to the United States with their children, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie.
The article cites Koenig's view that if the couple had lived together longer, Meghan would have had more time to observe and adapt to royal life.
