Kate Middleton feared Prince Harry had not met Meghan's father before the wedding and was "embarrassed by his family"
KATE Middleton feared Prince Harry might not have met Meghan Markle's father before the wedding, claims a royal biographer.
The Duchess of Cambridge - considered to be a sister by Harry - privately worried that Meghan "appeared embarrassed" by some parents, Ingrid Seward said.
William, Kate and Harry were previously extremely close, with Harry being frequently invited to their home in London.
But divisions began to form when he quickly fell in love with Meghan.
William had previously warned him not to rush with "the girl" - words that Finding Freedom writers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand claim "screwed up" Harry, who "wore his heart on his sleeve."
And Kate then began to worry about Meghan's relationship with her father Thomas, Ingrid claims.
It comes as:
The turning point came when Harry invited Meghan to spend Christmas with William and Kate in Norfolk, Anmer Hall, shortly after their engagement.
Kate and Wills "congratulated Meghan for playing with George and Charlotte" after the stay.
But Harry then edited Radio 4's Today show a few days later - and revealed her loved ones were "like family she never had."
The allegations caused enormous upheaval in Meghan's family - and her half-sister Samantha later said Harry's words were deeply hurtful.
And for Kate, pregnant with Louis and suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness that can completely debilitate her patients, it was "all a little worrying," Ingrid said.
"She couldn't understand why Harry had never met his future stepfather, or why Meghan, who Harry said was The One and 'ticked all the boxes', seemed embarrassed for her family and didn't want to talk about it. outside of it. mother, ”she said.

Father Thomas, who has repeatedly given press interviews about his relationship with his daughter, was not invited.
He also never met the couple's son Archie.
In an interview with Good Morning Britain, given just a day after Meghan and Harry's conversation with Oprah aired in the UK, he said the couple "didn't care if I died" after their heart attack.
He also hand-delivered a letter to Oprah's home asking the chat show host to interview her as well.
Meanwhile, the Duchess faced a legal battle after a national newspaper printed excerpts from a five-page letter she wrote to Mr Markle.
A judge ruled that the newspaper had violated his privacy - although the ANL publisher is appealing the decision.
Harry and Meghan briefly touched on his relationship with his father in their interview with Oprah.
In a separate interview with James Corden, Harry said he knew his future wife was "special" on their second date.
He told the former Gavin and Stacey actor that "everything was done upside down" because of his royal status, which meant cozy nights rather than lavish dinners.
He said, "Rather than going to friends' houses or going out to dinner where there were other distractions [we had] no distractions. It was great.
“We went from zero to 60 in the first two months. "
And Ingrid said: “William and Kate both wanted to love Meghan if for no other reason Harry was so madly in love.
“But the women had little in common beyond some polite chatter and their common interest in tennis. "
And the problems got worse with Megxit - and the now famous interview with Oprah.
During the explosive conversation, the couple said a senior royal made a racist comment about the color of his son Archie's skin before he was born.
It has also been claimed that Kate Middleton made Meghan cry - an allegation which allegedly made William particularly upset.
Meghan and Harry's popularity with British adults has reached its lowest point since the cat's projection.
And Ingrid said, “Now, after all that has happened, Kate is in charge of the peacemaker's job.
“Her great strength and inner determination will come in handy, but mending this broken relationship might be the one thing she can't conquer. "
