Charles Spencer Cautioned Prince Harry Before Meghan Wedding, But Not 'Three Times'

Charles Spencer cautioned Prince Harry to slow down before marrying Meghan Markle, Tom Bower claims in his 2022 book Revenge. However, the book does not say Spencer warned Harry on three separate occasions. The apparent confusion comes from a sentence describing Spencer as 'three times married' before saying he cautioned his nephew.

Bower's account concerns the period before Harry and Meghan married at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, on 19 May 2018. Their engagement had been formally announced on 27 November 2017. The private conversation described by Bower has not been independently corroborated in the sources reviewed.
