This is lovely.

A lot of people have compared Meghan Markle to Princess Diana in the last 12 months.

And now, a royal insider has elaborated on the specifics regarding the similarities.

Royal biographer Andrew Morton, who has written books on the family, spoke to Entertainment Tonight, saying:

”I think what Diana and Meghan have most in common is that they’re both glamorous – feminine, but also feminists.”

“They’re independent, certainly for Diana, but also, humanitarian. Two women who want to give back.”

Interestingly, a friend of Meghan’s also spoke to Mr Morgan for his book “Meghan: A Hollywood Princess”.

She said that Meghan“wanted to be the second Princess Diana”.

Another similarity? The camera courting.

Body language expert Judi James told Cosmopolitan:

“Meghan’s habit of doing what is called camera courting suggests a desire to communicate openly and confidently in the way that her peers would do via social media and blogs.”

This is not dissimilar to Princess Diana’s relationship with the press.

In the Amazon Prime documentary Princess Diana: The Woman Inside, it was revealed that Diana “promoted her image only for the good of others”.

“She always did check where the camera is. She was a professional in that sense. The media loved Diana.”

However, despite some significant similarities, the two are inherently different.

“Meghan’s been called ‘Diana 2.0.’ I don’t go with that for a minute.”

“I think Meghan is 1.0. She’s her own person. Diana was unique. Obviously, there are similarities, but there are also significant differences.”
