SHOCKING ROYAL UPDATE: Prince William ‘fuming’ over Meghan Markle’s nod to Princess Diana
Prince William, the Prince of Wales, is reportedly deeply upset by Meghan Markle’s repeated efforts to emulate his late mother, Princess Diana. One recent example that sparked controversy was Meghan’s decision to wear a Northwestern University sweater that closely resembled Diana’s iconic purple Northwestern sweatshirt. While some may view this as a tribute to the beloved princess, it has reportedly caused significant tension within the royal family, especially for William.
An insider revealed that Meghan and Prince Harry’s actions, particularly Meghan’s attempts to connect herself to Diana, have created friction. Although these gestures may seem harmless to some, William finds them problematic. The source explained that Meghan’s fashion tributes have triggered strong reactions, including online criticism, and have intensified the situation. William, who is deeply protective of his mother’s legacy, feels that Meghan’s attempts to channel Diana’s style are in poor taste and wishes she would stop using Diana as a reference. He is sensitive about preserving his mother’s memory without unnecessary associations, particularly when it feels like those associations are being manipulated.
The ongoing trend of Meghan using Diana as a touchstone for her public image has led to significant criticism. Many view it as opportunistic or misguided, further exacerbating tensions. For William, this is a particularly painful issue, as he feels powerless to prevent Meghan from continuing this trend, which he sees as disrespectful to his mother’s legacy. The situation has left him frustrated and in a difficult position.
The strained relationship between Meghan, Prince Harry, and the rest of the royal family has been ongoing for years, especially after their wedding. The couple’s relationship with the monarchy has worsened over time, particularly after their public claims of mistreatment, which were explored in Harry’s memoir, Spare, and their Netflix documentary. These actions have led to further divisions within the royal family, with Prince William and other members reportedly growing increasingly frustrated with Meghan and Harry’s behavior. Their continual references to Princess Diana and vocal criticism of the monarchy have only deepened the rift, making any potential reconciliation seem more unlikely.
Despite the tensions, Meghan’s actions continue to draw significant media attention, keeping the spotlight on the fractured relationship between the Sussexes and the royal family.
