“She did lie flat and pray to her once”: Truth Behind Meghan Markle’s Emotional Visit to Princess Diana’s Grave
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry somehow never fail to make headlines as recently the couple announced their decision to drop their royal family name. And as such, the late Princess Diana has always been a constant presence when it comes to the younger royal couple.
Prince Harry has clearly shown his affection for his late mother and even mentioned the similarities Markle has with the late People’s Princess. With that, the pair recently announced that they are adopting Princess Diana’s last name which is Spencer. However, Royal experts seem to have a not-so-nice take on this decision.
Royal Biographer’s View On Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Decision to Adopt Princess Diana’s Last Name
In another head-turning announcement by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the two have decided to drop their Sussex royal title and adopt the late Princess Diana’s last name ‘Spencer’. It is not surprising in the couple’s case, as they have mentioned the late princess multiple times as an inspirational figure for the two. However, the news comes just after the premature termination of their million-dollar deal with Spotify.
Taking this into account, royal biographer Angelina Levin suggested that the recent announcement regarding the change in their name is a way to “divert” the Spotify issue. Calling it a “load of nonsense”, the writer discussed how genuine Markle’s show of respect for her late mother-in-law was. Levin said,
“She did lie flat and pray to her once when she went to visit her grave. But that’s about it.”
All in all, the kind of attachment and emotional closeness that the Suits star displays towards her late mother-in-law is seemingly questionable according to the royal expert.
Levin also added that if Princess Diana had been alive, she would not have taken a liking to her younger son’s spouse and their decision to drop their royal titles.
A Brief Look at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Spotify Deal
Back in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle struck a 30 million-dollar exclusive multi-year deal with Spotify. Their part was to create content for the streaming platform and Markle’s podcast Archetypes did attract a good number of listeners. Various celebrities such as Paris Hilton made guest appearances.
However, recently it came to light that this exclusive deal got terminated prematurely. According to some reports, the couple had been pondering over this since Joe Rogan’s anti-vaccine issue on his podcast occurred. So it seems the royal couple did not want to associate with the same platform. But there is no clear or confirmed reason behind this move as far as reports go.
