Gone is the hedonistic charmer they once knew, replaced by the woke and introspective Harry who has shared his thoughts in the Netflix documentary "Harry and Meghan" and in his autobiography, where he discusses his grievances with the royal family, his disdain for the media, and his personal journey of grief and healing.
However, Harry's friends have pointed out that signs of this transformation were apparent in the early days of his relationship with Meghan. It all began with granola. One friend recalled a shooting weekend where Harry surprised everyone by squirreling away bowls of granola to take to his bedroom for breakfast. When questioned about it, he mentioned doing dawn yoga with Meghan and wanting to have breakfast alone with her in their room.
This particular shooting weekend was organized by Meghan to bond with Harry's friends. However, the trip took a sour turn when personalized embroidered blankets turned out to be the wrong shade of red, prompting Meghan's anger. Some of Harry's friends found this reaction unreasonable and felt that Megan's demands, including having Harry follow her every request and giving up socializing with friends or protein-rich food, were excessive.
One friend expressed early skepticism about Meghan, describing her as different and nobler than the group. Meghan's penchant for setting her own boundaries and her choice to eat breakfast in their room during the group weekend raised eyebrows. Typically, such weekends are meant for friends to enjoy meals together.
The incident with the red blanket left Harry's friends puzzled, as they couldn't fathom why Meghan would get so upset over a minor detail. Another revealing incident occurred during a London dinner party early in their relationship. Meghan caused a scene because she wasn't seated beside Harry, contrary to British custom that often dictates couples sit apart. Harry's response, as remembered by his friends, was merely to say, "I know, but she's so hot."
Subsequent dinner parties followed, where Meghan reportedly treated social situations as if they were Hollywood networking events.
