“Harry Married His Stalker”: People Beg Meghan Markle To Stop Copying Princess Diana

Meghan Markle has once again found herself at the center of a social media storm. Her latest Harper’s Bazaar photoshoot — part of the magazine’s December 2025/January 2026 Art Issue — drew immediate comparisons to Princess Diana. And this time, the backlash was swift.

A Photoshoot Overshadowed by Comparisons

In her new feature, the 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex sat down with writer Kaitlyn Greenidge for a wide-ranging conversation about marriage, life in the UK, and her transition out of royal duties.

But it wasn’t the interview that grabbed people’s attention. It was one photo in particular: a black-and-white portrait of Meghan sitting barefoot on the floor, legs crossed, gazing directly into the camera.

For many viewers, the image felt eerily familiar. The pose strikingly resembled Princess Diana’s iconic 1991 Vogue portrait, captured by Patrick Demarchelier — also shot in black and white, also barefoot and cross-legged.

Side-by-side images quickly flooded the internet, and within hours, accusations of mimicry followed.
