Commentator Kinsey Schofield pointed out the differences in their approaches to royal duties, with Meghan seemingly more interested in a Hollywood lifestyle than a life of service.
Prince Harry, in his Netflix documentary, had previously highlighted the similarities between Meghan and his late mother, Princess Diana, in terms of their compassion and empathy for humanity. However, Meghan's recent actions have raised questions about her commitment to carrying on Princess Diana's legacy.
On the other hand, Catherine was praised for her dedication to a life of service and her ongoing work in initiatives like the Early Years Project, which focuses on the well-being of children. Her openness about mental health discussions was also lauded, with many believing that Princess Diana would have been proud of Catherine's efforts and her graceful representation of the royal family.
Interestingly, Meghan reportedly learned that Princess Diana had left her sapphire ring to Prince Harry in a will. This ring was later given to Prince William for Kate Middleton when he proposed. Harry had initially not anticipated getting married but eventually proposed to Meghan in 2017, creating a custom engagement ring. Meghan is said to believe that the ring is rightfully Harry's and, by extension, hers.
However, Prince William is believed to disagree and thinks that the ring should not be given to Meghan. There are concerns within the royal family that if Meghan and Harry's marriage doesn't last and ends in divorce, Meghan might sell the jewelry. This has caused tensions between the brothers and added complexity to the situation.
Meghan has long been fascinated by Princess Diana and has even admitted to modeling herself after her. She has practiced imitating Diana's mannerisms, gestures, and even her iconic wave. Meghan sees herself as the new Diana, and this self-perception plays a role in her desire to keep and wear the late Princess's jewelry.
As the dispute over Princess Diana's jewelry continues, it remains a point of contention within the royal family, reflecting the complexities of relationships and legacies in the public eye.
