In a report for The Mirror, royal biographer Andrew Morton who penned the tell-all book Diana: Her True Story said that she would have bonded with Prince William and Prince Harry’s respective ways in different ways.
“She would warm to Catherine, her initial shyness on the public stage reminding her so much of her own early trepidation in front of a screaming crowd,” Andrew said of the Duchess of Cambridge.
“As for Meghan, she would find the energetic American mesmerising and intimidating.”
The royal biographer explained that Diana would’ve been stunned by Meghan’s public speaking skills.
“Diana was desperate to be known for speeches, rather than fashions, and took lessons to learn how to deliver talks.
“She would have been taken aback on first meeting Meghan, a force of nature able to speak with passion and precision – and all without notes.
“But as she got to know her and see the vulnerable side of a woman who suffered mental trauma during her first pregnancy – as did Diana – they would have bonded.”
In his and Meghan’s official interview following their engagement, Harry said that Diana would’ve loved his then-fiancée.
“They would be thick as thieves, without question, I think she would be over the moon, jumping up and down, you know, so excited for me, but then, as I said, would have probably been best friends with Meghan,” the redheaded royal said at the time.
“So no it’s, you know, it is days like today when I really miss having her around and miss being able to share the happy news. But you know with the ring and with everything else that’s going on, I’m sure she’s …”
“She’s with us,” Meghan added.
“I’m sure she’s with us, yeah, you know, jumping up and down somewhere else,” Harry remarked.
