Prince Harry reportedly grew increasingly frustrated with the Royal Family because he believed Meghan Markle was forced into royal life far too quickly, while Kate Middleton benefited from nearly a decade to adjust before becoming a senior working royal.
The claim comes from royal author Simon Vigar, who said the Duke of Sussex privately compared his whirlwind romance with Meghan to the much slower courtship enjoyed by Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales. According to Vigar, Harry believed that difference fundamentally shaped how each woman experienced life inside the monarchy.
