A new royal report has linked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Princess Diana in an unexpected way. An insider claimed the comparison stemmed from Buckingham Palace’s alleged plans for the Sussexes’ future. While there has been no suggestion that the couple is planning to separate, the source said the approach echoed aspects of the royal response during Diana’s split from then-Prince Charles. Still, the insider insisted that King Charles‘ priority remained keeping Harry, Markle, and their children together as a family.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spark Princess Diana comparison over new claims, says insider
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have sparked fresh comparisons to Princess Diana after an insider made new claims about how the Palace would allegedly deal with a potential separation. There is no indication that the Sussexes are planning to split. However, the source claimed “contingency plans” have reportedly been discussed behind closed doors.
The comparison, the insider alleged, lies in how any future agreement would be handled (via Heat World). As per the source, the proposal would include “a strict gagging order” designed to prevent further disclosures about private royal life. The insider then claimed, “It’s like with Princess Diana all over again.” Continuing, they added that any agreement this time would feature “tighter” wording and harsher “penalties.”
The source also claimed Markle would be allowed to retain her Duchess of Sussex title. According to the source’s account, the Palace sees that as a “face-saving measure” to avoid creating another public dispute. Removing the title, they claimed, could trigger a fresh media storm instead.
However, the report stated that Charles’ personal position is very different. Most recently, reports have suggested the king has wanted to rebuild his relationship with his younger son and spend more time with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. As per the same insider, that desire also extended to wanting Harry and Markle’s marriage to remain intact.
“This isn’t about trying to come between Harry and Meghan,” the source said. “Contrary to what a lot of people might think, Charles is actually rooting for them.” The insider added that Charles simply wants Harry “to be happy.” They also claimed the King hopes Archie and Lilibet are raised in “a happy home” and feels “very protective” of the family.
