Prince William Made a Rare Statement to Show Support for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

You know that a royal's relationship is serious when he has to give a public statement about it.
That's what happened when Prince Harry told the world to give some much-needed privacy to his new girlfriend, Suits star Meghan Markle. And now,
even his brother, who has met his potential future sister-in-law, has felt the need to weigh in.
According to The Telegraph , rumors had swirled that Prince William didn't like Harry's decision to go public with the relationship. But it turns out that couldn't be further from the truth.

People close to the royals told the paper that the family wouldn't release such a public statement unless they all talked about it beforehand. Apparently, the royals pored over every word before releasing it, especially since both brothers have the same media team.

Kensington Palace cleared the air with yet another statement: "The Duke of Cambridge absolutely understands the situation concerning privacy and supports the need for Prince Harry to support those closest to him."

Prince William and Princess Kate Pay Tribute to the Duke of Westminster at Somber Memorial Service

Prince William and Princess Kate paid their respects to the sixth Duke of Westminster at a somber memorial service Monday morning.
The royal couple were among the hundreds of guests to attend the service at Chester Cathedral. Prince Charles, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and
Princess Eugenie were also in attendance.
Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, the Duke of
Westminster, died on August 9 at Royal Preston Hospital in Lancashire, England, after developing a sudden illness at his home, Abbeystead Estate. He was 64.
Close family members attended a private funeral service in the days after his death.
The late Duke was Britain’s wealthiest landowner and a friend to the royal family.
He served in the British Army for nearly 40 years, eventually obtaining the rank of Major General. He is survived by his wife, Natalia, their four children, Tamara, Edwina, Hugh and Viola, as well as four
grandchildren.
Throughout his life, he was close to several members of the royal family, including Prince Charles, Princess Diana, Prince William and Princess Kate. His wife, Natalia, is one of Prince William’s godparents.
His only son, 24-year-old Hugh Grosvenor — who is also one of Prince George’s godparents — inherited his title, as well as the bulk of his father’s wealth, and is now the 7th Duke of Westminster.
