Princess Diana would have been “disappointed” by the behaviour displayed by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, it has been claimed. With Prince Harry and Prince William just 12 and 15 when their late mother died in August 1997, Diana – who was just 36 at the time of her death – was unable to meet both of her daughter-in-laws.
While many experts confident that Diana would have adored Princess Kate, some have been left wondering what she would have really thought about Meghan. Having officially joined the Royal Family in 2018, Meghan stepped down from royal duties less than two years later alongside Harry. The couple have since been at loggerheads with key members of the family, whom they are thought to have rarely spoken to over the past five years.
Writing in her article for NY Post, reporter Caroline Bullock claims that Diana would be “disappointed” by one major thing.
She wrote: “But Diana would not have embraced every decision made by her baby boy and his domineering wife.”
Hinting at Meghan’s previous comments about the royals, Ms Bullock then explained: “Their pious, perma-victim charade in California would have disappointed her — to say nothing of the petty rows and jealousies that sewed a wide riff between Harry and Will.”
She then added: “How sad she would be to see her hot-headed second son holed up in Montecito, consumed by bitter legal battles and flagging Netflix deals, abandoning the life and duties to be a plus-one to Meghan’s ambitions…
“Crucially, with Diana, a sense of duty and loyalty ran deep.
“She had a respect for royal etiquette, hierarchy and the late Queen Elizabeth that contrasts sharply with Meghan’s infamous mock re-enactment of her first curtsy to the [late] Queen.”
The couple now reside in California with their two children, six-year-old Prince Archie and four-year-old Princess Lilibet.
