Prior to stepping down from royal duties, Prince Harry had a good relationship with his brother’s wife, Kate Middleton — even calling her “the big sister he never had” (via Yahoo). Likewise, Prince William appeared to support the Duke of Sussex in his relationship with Meghan Markle. “We are very excited for Harry and Meghan,” he and Kate said in a statement after Harry popped the question (via US Weekly). “It has been wonderful getting to know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together.”
On a separate occasion, William again expressed happiness over Harry’s engagement, telling the media that he was “very excited, delighted for them both,” before joking, “Personally, I hope it means [Harry] stays out of my fridge and will stop scrounging my food, which he’s done for the last few years!” Ah, brotherly love.

William was joined in his well wishes by other members of the royal family. “We’re both thrilled. We hope they’ll be very happy indeed,” then-Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles tweeted (via Vogue). Camilla sweetly added that, “America’s loss is our gain,” in a nod to Meghan’s citizenship. The royal family’s backing makes sense on paper. Plus, Harry apparently had an extensive vetting process when it came to his significant others. “He had a list,” Meghan teased her husband in the Netflix docuseries, “Harry & Meghan” (via Glamour). (Harry, apparently, still doesn’t see the humor in this.)
