Lady Victoria Hervey believes the Duke and Duchess of Sussexes' marriage won’t last because they didn’t date for long enough before tying the knot.

The 44-year-old socialite also suggests she predicted Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s move to the US – which she believes would have been Meghan’s idea.
She told Closer magazine: "I think Harry and Meghan's courtship was way too short. I just don't see it lasting. I remember just before their wedding, I thought, "They'll get married, have a few kids... And she will end up wanting to be in America"."
Lady Victoria is the daughter of the 6th Marquess of Bristol and briefly dated the Duke of York in 1999.
Prince Harry previously said that he knew the duchess was "special" on their second date.
The 36-year-old royal embarked on a romance with the then-'Suits' actress in 2016 and he admitted they felt an instant connection and were very "comfortable" with each other right from the start of their relationship.
Asked when he knew "Meghan was the one", he told 'Late Late Show' host James Corden: "The second date, I was starting to think, 'Wow this is pretty special'.”
The couple - who married in May 2018 - only went public with their romance a year after they got together, which Harry explained is typical of royal relationships as things are "flipped upside down" and are “done back to front”.
He said: "Dating with me, or with any member of the royal family I guess, is kind of flipped upside down. So everything was done back to front with us. We got to spend an enormous amount of time just the two of us, rather than going to friends' houses or out for dinner where there were other distractions. There were no distractions, and that was an amazing thing. We went from zero to 60 in the first two months."
