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.”
