Read the Relationship Advice Prince Albert Gave to Prince Harry & Meghan Markle

Everyone loves a royal love story, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s is totally romantic. Apparently, Prince Albert of Monaco (and son of Grace Kelly) thinks so too.

Recently, Prince Albert told People magazine that bringing anyone into royal circles “is a pretty tough act, especially in the British royal family, which is scrutinized by the press as no one’s been.” Albert is married to Princess Charlene, a former Olympic swimmer.

“[Harry and Meghan] seem to be having a good deal of success so far,” Prince Albert said, but “sooner or later, she’s going to have to face the full onslaught. I can’t imagine how that will be on them, on her. Being an actress, in a way, gets you a little prepared but nothing really can prepare you for the constant pace of it. Particularly now that the pace has changed so much. It’s hard for anyone to handle. It was difficult for Charlene to handle. I can’t imagine the difference now with the increased pace of news and social media.”

He continued: “They seem to be doing okay for now. The only kind of advice I can offer is the British expression: ‘Keep calm and carry on.’”

On his famous mother, Grace Kelly: “Mom said being an actress did prepare you a little. It familiarized you a little with the press. But the press was a little more respectful in those days. The press, mostly the photographers, seems to have changed. Mom taught us that you have to do all you can to protect your private life,” he continues. “But you also have to face the press at some points. When we went on family holidays together, we would take an hour on the first morning and give that to the photographers. We let them have that hour and in return they would let us go on with our lives during the vacation.”
