In an exclusive revelation, a royal author claims that King Charles was deeply resentful of Princess Diana's popularity, especially during royal tours, and now history seems to be repeating itself with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Married in 1981, Prince Charles and Princess Diana's marriage initially appeared to be a fairy tale romance. However, behind the scenes, Charles reportedly grew increasingly uncomfortable with Diana's overwhelming popularity, particularly during their public appearances.
According to royal author Tom Quinn, Princess Diana's ability to captivate crowds often left Prince Charles feeling sidelined. This sentiment was echoed by Diana herself in her controversial Panorama interview in 1995, where she spoke candidly about the challenges of navigating their public roles.
Now, it seems that Prince Harry is facing a similar situation with his wife Meghan Markle. Quinn describes Harry as "permanently in his wife's shadow," reminiscent of Charles' experience with Diana. During a recent trip to Nigeria, Meghan's ability to connect with the crowd reportedly overshadowed Harry, highlighting the ongoing dynamic. .
While Harry may not mind being in Meghan's shadow for now, Quinn suggests that there could be underlying feelings of being "always a side dish and never the main course."
This revelation comes amidst ongoing speculation about the dynamics within the royal family, particularly in light of Harry and Meghan's decision to step back from their senior roles.
As history seemingly repeats itself, the question remains: will Harry find a way to navigate his role within the royal family, or will he continue to feel overshadowed by his wife's popularity?
