Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Relationship: What Does Prince William Think? [DETAILS]

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's romance has the Duke of Cambridge's seal of approval, as proven in a statement released on Saturday, Nov. 26.

Prince William has taken it upon himself to set the record straight on what he thinks about the young red-headed prince's decision to defend his new love from the scorn she has received from the public after reports had surfaced earlier this month that the Duke had disapproved of his younger brother's actions.

"The Duke of Cambridge absolutely understands the situation concerning privacy and supports the need for Prince Harry to support those closest to him," a spokesperson from Kensington Palace said, according to Us Weekly. An aide from the Palace added: "A statement like this would not have been released with The Duke first being consulted."

It must be said that both Prince William and Prince Harry have the same media advisers. Therefore, both of them are likely to be consulted about matters, be it professionally or personally, that might affect the both of them.

A royal source explained that the Duke was "alarmed" like anybody else about the situation and eventually agreed with his younger brother, who felt the need to take action after the situation had gone too far, according to The Telegraph.

Speculations about whether or not Prince Harry and Markle were officially a couple have been going on for months. It was only earlier this month when the 32-year-old royal went on to defend the 35-year-old "Suits" actress from the "wave of abuse and harassment" she and her family had received online that the relationship was confirmed.

"Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle's safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her. It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm," the statement read.
