Even Harry Has Drawn Parallels
Prince Harry himself has compared Meghan to his mother. In the couple’s 2022 Netflix docuseries, he said Meghan shared Diana’s compassion, warmth, and confidence.
But those parallels, when echoed publicly, only intensify scrutiny — and any moment that feels even slightly reminiscent of Diana is now magnified by critics.

The photoshoot dispute comes just weeks after Meghan was criticized for a video she shared from her Paris Fashion Week trip. In the clip, she rode through the city with her feet propped up near an area close to the Pont de l’Alma tunnel — the site of the 1997 crash that killed Princess Diana.
Commentators called the video “insensitive” and questioned her judgment.
“No adviser would ever suggest doing something like this,” a royal expert told the Daily Mail.
