The book noted that Markle was ready for William to be tough on her.

Happily, William was gracious and excited to meet his brother’s girlfriend.

The Prince and Princess of Wales famously dated for eight years before getting engaged.

Of course it does.

As she said, “This was sort of an unbreakable bond between the brothers.

And there isn’t that closeness anymore.

A lot has happened.

I think there’s a lot of anger, hurt, and resentment on both sides.”
