In his revealing memoir, published in January, Prince Harry candidly recounted the emotional journey of introducing his wife to his mother's final resting place in 2022. Diana, the former Princess of Wales, is interred at Althorp, the ancestral home of the Spencer family in Northamptonshire, England. Her gravesite is located on an island in the center of the ornamental Lake, known as the Round Oval, within Althorp Park's pleasure garden. This sacred place remains off-limits to the public.
The visit was not without its challenges. With a little nudge from his Uncle Charles Spencer, Prince Harry and Meghan made their way to the island on a boat. Harry admitted that no visit to this place had ever been easy, but this 25th anniversary visit was especially significant. "At long last, I was bringing the girl of my dreams home to meet Mom," he wrote.
However, there have been allegations of friction between Prince Harry and Meghan regarding their behavior at Diana's gravesite. It is reported that when Harry approached his mother's resting place, Meghan's actions appeared peculiar, causing some concern. CCTV cameras were apparently installed around Diana's grave, primarily for monitoring when Earl Spencer couldn't be present.
Further reports suggested that Meghan was seen crouching down for an unspecified reason when Harry returned, and she subsequently offered an explanation to save herself from embarrassment. Harry described in his memoir that upon returning to the boat, he inquired about her actions. Meghan explained that she had prayed for clarity and guidance while kneeling with her palms against the stone.
In response to these alleged actions, the Spencer family permanently barred Meghan from accessing Diana's grave, and her photos were removed from the location. Even now, Harry has revealed the location, a move that he may regret, as it has fueled his concerns about his mother's soul.
These recent events have added strain to Harry and Meghan's relationship. Some argue that Meghan has exploited Diana's death and Harry's grief to her advantage, exacerbating his emotional struggles.
These concerns are reminiscent of earlier reports from 2018, when a book titled "Meghan: A Hollywood Princess" discussed the circumstances surrounding Meghan Markle's first marriage. According to the book, Meghan made the unilateral decision to end her marriage in 2014, sending her wedding and engagement rings back to her ex-husband, film producer Trevor Engelson. The author, Andrew Morton, known for his biography of Princess Diana, reported that the decision came as a surprise to many.
Speculations about the state of Meghan and Harry's marriage have persisted, with reports suggesting that Meghan's decision to go without her engagement ring during public appearances has left Harry confused. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex currently reside in California with their two children after stepping down as working members of the British royal family.
