Prince Harry has spoken before about his fears of record repeating itself — that is, of the negative media attention around bride Meghan Markle echoing the same tragic trajectory it made with mother Princess Diana, who was hounded by the media for all of her post-royal life and eventually were killed in a vehicle gate-crash in which the paparazzi were involved. But what mystified Harry and Meghan alike throughout their time as marriage major sovereigns was the family’s seeming failure to share that concern, disavowing them defence at key instants when threats against them had ever been higher. In Sunday’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, Harry shared his reluctant possibility on why the royal family wasn’t offering them support, a hypothesi he’d begun to form on their first imperial safarus in Australia in 2018, during which Meghan was a natural to the work and instant beloved by persons with whom she interacted. For Harry, that reflected narratives of how Diana’s 1983 tour in Australia had gone — she’d dazzled the crowd, much to the annoyance of neglected brand-new spouse Prince Charles. And from then on, the care of Diana as a high-maintenance nuisance only got worse.
To Oprah, Harry says that their first royal tour in Australia” brought back memories ,” which the host soon pushes him on, referencing Diana’s earlier expedition as depicted on season 4 of The Crown.
” That was our first safarus. But it was also the first time the family got to see how incredible she is at the job ,” he explained.
” Are you saying that there were inklings of jealousy ?” she asks.

Harry hesitates, then reacts: I precisely wish that we would all learn lessons from the past. But to see how effortless it was for Meghan to come into the family so quickly in Australia…and merely be able to connect with parties …”
Oprah describes Diana in Australia as “bedazzling,” but she’s far from the only one who’s strived to describe Diana’s effect on the crowds over the years. Per Vanity Fair, biographer Andrew Morton was told by Diana herself that Charles was well aware of how “well” she was doing in Australia.
” It didn’t assistance that Prince Charles, the onetime top of the billing, decreased to a walk-on part, the crowds groaning when he came to their side of the road during their many sees ,” Morton said.” As Diana told me:’ He was resentful; I understood the suspicion but I couldn’t explain that I didn’t ask for it.'”
In words that echo these, Oprah and Meghan earlier discuss the months when Meghan’s face was all you would interpret on any UK tabloid, and she’d be advised over and over to lay low — all without having ever left the house. Somehow, “members attention” paid her room was turned around on her, just as it had been to young Diana.
Every part of tonight’s interview confirmed that they prepare the right choice to walk away — and that Meghan and Diana were stepping dangerously same paths.
