Meghan Markle follows in Diana's footsteps as a "pioneer of women's empowerment"
The remarks were made by Stewart Pearce, who worked as Diana's vocal coach and became a close associate in her later years. He praised the Duchess of Sussex for finding the 'courage' to reject the royal mantra of 'never complain, never explain' and speak the truth, in much the same way as Diana. Mr. Pearce told The Sun: “There is a vibrational difference, but the point is that the courage, the sensitivity it took to produce these revelations was exceptional.
“I felt what Meghan was really going through was the spirit of revelation, the spirit of transparency that Diana was trying to achieve.”
Princess Diana broke her silence about her loveless marriage in a now infamous interview with the BBC's Martin Bashir in 1995.
During the Panorama program, she revealed that Prince Charles had been having an affair with Camilla, memorably telling Mr. Bashir that "there were three of us in the marriage, so it was a bit crowded."
The vocal coach, who writes a book about Princess Diana, said she was "decades ahead of her time."
“She changed the world with hope, empowerment, kindness and authenticity,” he said.
The Duchess of Sussex has decided to open up about her life in the royal family in an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
She told Ms. Winfrey that at one point, "I didn't want to be alive anymore."
Meghan claimed palace officials would not allow her to seek outside professional help to deal with her depression.
On a happier note, she revealed she is pregnant again and expecting a baby girl later this summer.
