Prince Harry predicted he would marry a celebrity

All eyes were in Prince Harry and fiancée Meghan Markle this weekend as they attended their first official public outing since sharing their engagement with the world.

And it’s now been revealed that apparently Harry somewhat predicted that he’d end up marrying a celebrity, long before he met his bride-to-be.

A source close to the Prince has told The Times that after a few failed relationships, Harry had started worrying that “the right person” would need to be someone already used to the intense public scrutiny that comes with being by his side.

“I don’t think he went out and deliberately looked for a famous actress,” the source said.

According to the report Harry told someone close to him that “only somebody who was already in the public eye would be able to understand and handle everything that goes with being with (a prince)”.

Of Harry’s previous two serious relationships, both Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas are said to have struggled with the media scrutiny, picking apart every single public appearance.

Chelsy has previously admitted she found it “so full-on, crazy and scary and uncomfortable”.

She told The Times it was very “difficult” and that when things were bad she “couldn’t cope”.

Prince Harry has previously spoken of his “massive paranoia” about finding a girlfriend and said they would both need to be comfortable with each other first, before inviting the public and press into their relationship.

So, Meghan is the perfect fit, given she was already an established Hollywood actress in a popular TV series.

“He feels comfortable being with someone who has already come to terms with the price of fame in the way that his other girlfriends never could,” a source said.
