Prince William reportedly banned Meghan Markle from wearing Princess Diana’s jewellery

The eldest son of Princess Diana made the call with the backing of Queen Elizabeth II

Prince William banned Meghan Markle from wearing Princess Diana’s jewellery in a bid to slow down her integration into the British Royal Family according to a new book about Kate Middleton’s life and rise to future Queen.

The eldest son of the late Princess, who was the first wife of King Charles III, reportedly made the decision as he urged Prince Harry to slow down the speed of his relationship with the Suits actress, after they began dating in 2016.

However, not feeling as though his voice alone was enough to be listened to by the Duke of Sussex, the future king even turned to the then-monarch Queen Elizabeth II, to ensure Diana’s jewels would stay away from Marke.

“William, still concerned by the match, even sought assurances from the Queen that his brother’s bride-to-be would not wear any jewelry in the collection once worn by Diana, Princess of Wales,” Robert Jobson writes in ‘Catherine, The Princess of Wales’, as per the Daily Mail. Even though his wife Catherine had been allowed to wear some, which would be due to her rank.”

Jobson reveals why Harry-William relationship collapsed over Makle
It’s the latest development in a series of revelations surrounding Markle’s time in the British Royal Family from 2016-2020 before she and her husband quit as senior members and left the United Kingdom for California.

Other allegations include Middleton making Markle cry hours before her wedding and questions regarded the skin colour of Archie, the couple’s first son, with Markle of mixed-race background.

The encounters left the 42-year-old actress battling with depression and increased tensions in the long-running fraternal rivalry between Prince Harry and Prince William, which has not cooled off despite four years apart.

“Harry claimed that the goodwill from William and Catherine disappeared long before the build-up to his wedding,” Jobson added. “William had confided to his brother that he believed it would be better to give Meghan more time to adjust to the royal way of life and suggested he cool the relationship.

“Harry felt affronted and judged it to be an insult. As a direct result, his relationship with his brother deteriorated fast. According to Harry’s book ‘Spare,’ William physically attacked him.”
