It also included the time when the Duke of Sussex’s best man speech touched his sister-in-law. According to the author, she was moved to tears.
Kate Middleton ‘wiped away tears’ after Prince Harry’s loving best man speech, royal author claims
Kate Middleton and Prince William tied the knot on April 29, 2011. During Prince Harry’s best man speech, the new bride couldn’t hold her tears, showcasing her close bond with her brother-in-law. The Daily Mail recently revealed excerpts from royal biographer Christopher Andersen’s book “Brothers and Wives.” In it, he gave a rare insight into the wonderful relationship the trio shared.
Andersen highlighted the evening of the Prince and Princess of Wales’ wedding when the younger brother gave a memorable toast to the newlywed. In his speech, Harry jokingly apologized to the bride as she had to “marry a bald man.” After some laughs, the vibe turned sad as he mentioned their late mother, Princess Diana. “There were muffled sobs when Harry told his brother, ‘Our mother would be so very proud of you,’” the author wrote.
According to the book, the duke treated Middleton like his sister. He referred to the married couple’s “decade-long romance” and said it was his “inspiration.” To this, the then-Duchess of Cambridge “wiped away tears.” Moreover, their emotional moment didn’t end there.
When it was time for the fireworks, Andersen stated that Harry held his brother and Middleton and “began to weep.” “Soon the best man and the bride were helping brush away each other’s tears while a bemused and thoroughly dry-eyed William looked on,” the book claimed. It insisted that the trio shared a lovely bond where they supported each other in many ways. Hence, the alleged royal feud left their followers stunned.
Meanwhile, rumors surrounding their royal reunion have escalated since Harry and King Charles’ aides met in London. However, their “peace talks” didn’t sit well with William.
