Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Montecito – sorry, Sussex – recently made a visit to Nigeria. And true to form, she couldn't just visit a country – she had to turn it into a one-woman Broadway show. Her costume choices, her jewelry – it all seemed to hark back to Princess Diana. Cue the gasps, the tears, the inevitable People magazine cover – "Meghan Channels Diana."
Prince William, Diana's actual son, is not amused. In fact, insiders say he's downright furious. According to one source, William finds it beyond tasteless and offensive – not just to him, but also to Kate. And now, it's personal.
This isn't just about jewelry; it's about legacy, authenticity, and the shameless exploitation of a tragedy that still haunts Britain. Princess Diana wasn't just royalty; she was the people's princess. When she spoke about her struggles, it wasn't for Netflix views – it was genuine.
Now, compare that to Meghan's attempts to channel Diana. From the moment she landed the prince, it was clear this wasn't just a love story – it was a rebranding campaign. Meghan's trajectory from lifestyle blogger to royal to victimhood era has been well-documented. And now, she's in her "I am Diana 2.0" phase.
But here's the thing – Diana wasn't a brand. She was a real person with real flaws and struggles. Meghan's attempts to emulate her feel hollow and exploitative. And Prince William has had enough. He doesn't want to deprive Harry of celebrating their mother's legacy, but there's a line – and Meghan crossed it.
