Prince William is looking out for his wife, Kate Middleton.
The Duchess of Cambridge was mentioned during Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey when the former “Suits” actress clarified that she did not make Middleton cry around the time of her wedding to Harry, but that the reverse had happened.
Now, William, 38, is ready to protect his wife after the bombshell accusation.
“William is very protective of Kate and can get very angry,” Penny Junor, biography for the princes told People magazine recently.

She added: “For Meghan to name Kate in a negative light is worse than being attacked himself.”

Markle’s big reveal during the interview was followed by an explanation that Middleton apologized after the incident.
“And I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone, because it was a really hard week of the wedding, and she was upset about something,” the Duchess of Sussex said during her sit-down. “But she owned it, and she apologized and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing.”
The Palace seems to be unhappy with the interview and its subsequent fallout, as a source told the outlet that there was “anger” from the royals and their staff members following the occasion.

“There were genuinely mixed emotions and deep sorrow and shock there too,” the insider added.
A source recently spoke to Entertainment Tonight as well, making similar claims about William’s defensiveness.
The source said that William is feeling “fiercely protective” over his wife and that he’s “unhappy” with Markle’s mention of Middleton.
It was previously rumored that around the time of her wedding, Meghan Markle made Kate Middleton cry, but the Duchess of Sussex has now claimed that the reverse happened.
