Prince William saw right through Meghan Markle’s alleged “plan” of marrying into the royal family through Prince Harry, a royal biographer has sensationally claimed.

After it was revealed by the late Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin and closest confidante, Lady Elizabeth Anson, that the monarch was apprehensive about Markle’s intentions, it appears as though William caught wind of the situation around the same time.

According to royal biographer and commentator Phil Dampier, the Prince of Wales, 43, was skeptical about the Duchess of Sussex entering the royal fold.

“I think, unfortunately, that confirms what I’ve been saying or thought for the last few years that, sadly, Meghan never really had any intention of staying in the royal family,” Dampier told the Sun, referencing Anson’s comments.

“She saw as a stepping stone getting married to to Harry to to to new fame and fortune. And I think that’s what initially Prince William was concerned about.”
