Meghan Markle detonated bombs in the face of the British royal family while speaking during an interview with Prince Harry and famous TV host Oprah Winfrey on Sunday night.
This dialogue recalled the words of the Princess of Wales, Diana, about the atmosphere of life in the British Royal Palace.
Harry used to speak with concern and bitterness about what happened to his mother all those years when she was expelled from the royal family after her divorce from Prince Charles and then died in a car accident in a Parisian tunnel.
Harry and Megan
Between mother and wife
The young prince raised the issue again on Sunday, comparing the experiences of his mother and his wife, saying that “he felt her presence (Diana) throughout this process,” indicating that history repeats itself through the fixed structure of a royal dynasty and an ancient institution.
He also talked about breaking free from old patterns and finding a new way forward. He referred to a “constant barrage” of racist criticism and attacks against his wife. “What I was seeing is history repeating itself,” he said, although he described Megan’s treatment as “much more dangerous” due to the spread of social media and the devastating element of racism.
Perhaps what is notable in Meghan’s talk about her psychological struggles as a royal wife, loneliness, isolation and suicidal thoughts, brought it back to the minds of millions, as reported by the New York Times, the account of Diana on bulimia and depression. that he suffered during his marriage.
The two women asked the family for help, but were ignored and rejected.

History repeats itself
Prince Ari had said: “When I say that history repeats itself, I mean my mother. When you see something happen in the same way, anyone will ask for your help.” But just like with her mother, when Megan asked for help, nothing happened. Instead, the family ignored her fears and told her primarily to keep her head down. Harry claimed that the couple were repeatedly told, “This is how it is.”
He stated that he believed Diana would be angry and saddened by the couple’s treatment, noting that she would have supported his decision to leave Britain and seek a new life away from the restrictions of the royal family.
The similarities are numerous
It is noteworthy that the similarities between Megan and Diana are numerous, just like Diana, Megan was married to a family that she does not understand (that is, Megan does not understand). The family believed they would respect royal customs and protocol without complaint. Like Diana, when Megan was unable or unwilling to follow the family line, she said the palace did nothing to dispel the emerging public narrative it was demanding. Like Diana, Megan found herself being hounded by newspapers, who accused her of constantly seeking attention while filling their pages with stories about her, according to The New York Times.
From Diana’s 1995 BBC interview
Meghan’s bold decision to criticize her husband’s family in the interview also highlights the similarities to Diana’s famous 1995 conversation with the BBC. In that interview, the late princess revealed that her marriage was always doomed because there were “3 of us” in it: her, Charles, and Camilla Parker-Bowles. It is noteworthy that Charles had been in love with Camilla for a long time and then married her.
Differences too
However, there are also differences beyond the fact that Diana was white and Megan is biracial, and the fact that Diana’s marriage has broken up, while Megan has a strong marriage.
Harry and Megan
Diana was a young woman, only 20 years old, and naive when she married Charles. As for Megan, the American, she was a 36-year-old mature woman, an expert in life and people’s affairs, and financially independent, and had worked for many years when she married Harry.
While Harry’s mother grew up in a conservative culture, where traditions are revered, Megan comes from a liberal society where it is natural to ask for help and discuss her feelings.
