Prince Harry has made it no secret that he believes his wife, Meghan Markle, and late mother, Princess Diana, share similarities.

In his 2022 Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, he said that ‘so much of what and how Meghan is’ is ‘so similar’ to his mum, who tragically died when he was just 12 years old.

Harry heartwarmingly gushed that she has the same compassion, empathy, confidence, and warmth that Diana was known for.

And in an interview with the BBC in 2017, just before he and Meghan headed for the aisle, Harry said that Diana would have been 'over the moon' about the woman he chose to spend his life with.

However, according to reports, not everyone who has met both women is on quite the same page when it comes to this comparison.

Harry was reportedly left ‘disappointed’ after he introduced his former Suits star wife to Diana’s sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, in the early days of their relationship.

The claim comes from royal biographer Tom Bower, who penned the book Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors in July 2022.

He even dropped the bombshell statement that Harry’s aunts apparently believed Meghan would ‘not fit in with the royal family’.

Bower quipped: "Harry assumed that Diana's family and friends would see a similarity between Diana and his fiancée. Both, he said, shared the same problems. He was so disappointed.

"No one agreed that his vulnerable mother had anything in common with his girlfriend.

"More discomforting for him, they thought Meghan would not fit in with the royal family."

Despite their alleged worries, Harry of course went on to tie the knot with Meghan in 2018 and they welcomed two children together.

The claims come as Meghan admitted to being 'incredibly lonely' following reports of her 'professional separation' from hubby Harry.

Over the last few months, the Duchess of Sussex has carved out a number of professional projects, including her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder.

While Meghan and Harry also have a shared Netflix docu-series and their charitable organisation Archewell, in late 2024, reports arose that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were embarking on a 'professional separation'.

GB News has reported that the pair are building their own 'royal' household structure as they permanently separate their professional lives. This includes having their own chief of staff.

It also doesn't mean they're actually separating - it simply means that the pair will focus on their own ventures rather than embarking on them as a couple.
