Apparently, Harry and Meghan are looking to rebrand themselves. And since they can’t go back to being full-time royals, they want to go in the other direction and become a Spencer.

Tom Bower, who always has something to say about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, told GB News in a new interview that the Sussexes are going to try to get closer to Princess Diana by taking her maiden name, if that makes sense.

He even hinted that this might all be Meghan Markle’s idea seeing how she’s idolized her late mother-in-law all of her life. Changing their last name would just be the icing on the cake for Meghan.

He said, “What is really interesting in the rebranding of the Sussexes that I’ve heard that Meghan’s real objective in her life is to be Diana, that has always been her passion.
