Meghan Markle ‘shares similarities with Princess Diana’ in her latest move, a royal commentator had claimed.
Darren Stanton spoke about the “parallels” between the duchess and the late Princess Diana and how Meghan wanted to follow in the princess’s footsteps.
He said: “When Meghan was first brought into the Royal Family, it elevated her status to a global scale.
“She holds great precedence with Princess Diana. She represents a lot of strength in first joining the Royal Family and then stepping away.”

Prince Harry and Meghan stepped down as working royals in 2020 and moved to the US to live with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
Stanton explained: “She followed her heart and what she cared about over everything else. There are lots of parallels between them and I get a sense Meghan wanted to follow in her footsteps.
“They both share a passion and drive to help others.”
Meghan is launching her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard alongside a Netflix series concentrating on cooking, gardening, entertaining and friendship.
