Is Meghan Markle Walking Down The Same Path As Princess Diana?

Meghan Markle is walking down the same path that Princess Diana once did during her very early years in her marriage to Prince Charles. Apparently, the British press is treating the Duchess of Sussex the same way they treated Prince Harry’s mother and for some people, they find it quite troubling. Here’s what you need to know.

Royal biographer Andrew Morton thinks Meghan is definitely getting the same treatment Princess Diana once did by the British press.

“What I find interesting she’s [Meghan] been criticized as the ‘Duchess Difficult’ and there’s been attacks on her because her Scotland Yard bodyguard resigned and various members of staff have resigned,” he told Yahoo UK’s The Royal Box in an interview recently.

Diana Was A Fairytale Princess Until The Press Labeled Her A Monster

“It was the same narrative as Diana. She started off as the fairytale princess and within 18 months, she was being described in the media as a fiend and a monster because various members of her staff had left, so it is a bit of a cliché to use that narrative about her.”

However, the one difference between Meghan Markle and Princess Diana is that the former Hollywood actress has supposedly reached out to her American friends to help defend her in the press. And while some people think that it might be working, others believe that she still has a long road ahead of her.

“Meghan is all about reaching over the heads of the UK media and using her American friends because how many of Prince Harry’s friends have spoken up for Meghan and for Harry?” Morton explained.

“They’ve all been silent because that’s the traditional way. It’s the American friends, this cohort of George Clooney, Serena Williams and Oprah Winfrey and in a way, rightly so.”

So far Meghan Markle herself has not made any comments about the criticism that she’s received from both the press and many online trolls who have attacked her on social media this year.

Instead, she is currently enjoying her maternity leave with her newborn baby Archie Harrison at home. Meghan gave birth to the youngest member of the royal family earlier this month at Portland Hospital near London.
