Meghan Markle has set the royal family on edge, with insiders saying she’s pushing Prince Harry to upstage Prince William and take his place as what would essentially be Princess Diana’s “favorite son.”
The bombshell, leaking out of wildfire-plagued Montecito, CA, has triggered a vicious reaction—with royals raging over what they see as Meghan’s audacious bid to pour gasoline on the brothers’ festering feud.
A source tells us, “Meghan, high on the glory of her queenship dreams, is now urging Harry to grab Diana’s legacy and may well believe that emotionally he was her soulmate.” She’s telling him, ‘Be a man, be Diana’s real son,” said an insider.
That maneuver comes on the heels of Harry’s custody whispers and Meghan cutting Charlotte out of her life, leaving William “livid” and Kate “crushed.” “It’s an underhanded thing to do,” said one insider.
X is set alight with #DianaFavorite trending while critics savage Meghan as a “scheming” opportunist. “She’s using Diana’s ghost to pit Harry against William!” one user raged. Well, fans argue, “Harry was Diana’s baby—Meghan is just speaking the truth!”
The fight—which comes in the middle of rumors about Charles rewriting his will and Doria’s Camilla showdown—has widened the royal rift.
The ailing King Charles was said to be “gutted”, as William vows to defend his mother’s memory. With Meghan’s Netflixing and Harry’s dinner outburst stoking the inferno, this Diana gambit is shaping up to be the Sussexes’ last chance.
Will Harry take on the mantle of Diana’s legacy, or will he shrink away? As this saga roars on, the monarchy quakes.
