Apparently Prince Harry compares his wife Meghan the same as princess diana.
Don’t think she is anything like her, no I don’t know her personally. My own opinion if anyone is compared to princess diana is Catherine/kate.
And anything that Harry and Meghan try to do then Prince William & Catherine can do better.

Also looks fantastic.

MissAdventure Sun 07-Jul-24 14:32:58

Yep also looks great.

Diana looks best, I reckon?

crazyH Sun 07-Jul-24 14:35:50

Looks like the same suit she wore on her last day

JaneJudge Sun 07-Jul-24 14:36:45

There are quite literally loads of photos of all three of them in trouser suits. Here's the late Queen

Princess Anne

No one can be compared with Diana - not even Princess Catharine - she was one of a kind . Sadly, sometimes the good die young🥲

Every one is one of a kind. Cannot understand why everyone seems to have elevated her to sainthood. Very sad she died so young, but unfortunately many do.

I agree, the mawkish adoration is startling.

I agree, but I also think that Meghan is pushing that agenda to Harry, who seems never to miss an opportunity to mention ‘my mum’, perhaps hoping to keep Diana’s admirers on side?

They all look great,don't they? smile

I had never seen the Queen in a trouser suit before, but she looks excellent.

Harry took Megan to Althorp where his mother is buried, there
Megan communicated with Diana !

MissAdventure Sun 07-Jul-24 14:46:29

Does your scrapbook have a pic of princess Anne with a red streak in her hair, Jane?

Never misses an opportunity to cash in on his personal loss does he.

I read a couple of years ago that when Harry took Meghan to meet the Spencers before they got married, he emphasised the similarities with Diana to them, and the Spencers didn't agree.

Anniebach Sun 07-Jul-24 14:53:51

There is photograph of Megan holding their daughter who is stroking a photograph of Diana

"I agree, the mawkish adoration is startling" indeed HPQ I cant explain it either in me!

I think it reminded many people of deaths within their own family, Mums dying and leaving children behind and so on.
It was an outlet for personal grief maybe.
Others were either keen Royalists, those who cry easily and sheep copying others.I felt sad for her and very sad for the two children at the time.No tears tho.

Oh I don’t know about that, think it still has legs, but not clad in wide trousers 😂

Anniebach Sun 07-Jul-24 15:04:31

I think it was hysteria, as one hears of for pop singers and in the past at funerals of Hollywood stars

MissAdventure Sun 07-Jul-24 15:05:03

Oh, as long as the bottom hasn't fallen out of it. wink

Curtaintwitcher Sun 07-Jul-24 15:06:56

I think Harry has been looking for a replacement for his mother and sees what he wants to see. The truth is that Meghan is not the slightest bit like Diana. She may have given him something he needed and he certainly gave her something she wanted.
Diana didn't put on an act, she was always her natural self. With Meghan, her smile is cold. She puts on an act, she is patronising and I think she has fed Harry's self-pity and used it to further her own interests.

LovesBach Sun 07-Jul-24 15:07:18

Comparisons are odious.

I thought the Queen looked awful in her apparently mens suit tbh.
No wonder she usually stuck to skirts and dresses.
The other pics of Royals in trouser suits look very good.
It’s having the figure for them and wearing the right top underneath them.
