Royal biographer Angela Levin has revealed what she thinks the connection between Meghan Markle, 41, and Princess Diana might need been like today in a latest interview.
Last week, The Every day Express reported that the couple have reputedly discussed “ditching their Windsor surname” and adopting the late Princess’s last name, Spencer, in a bid for a rebrand, according royal creator Tom Bower.
Now, Levin, who authored the book “Harry: A Biography of a Prince” in 2018, is asking the attempt a “load of nonsense” and alleged that Princess Diana “wouldn’t have been adequate” to Markle “if she was still alive.”
“When something’s on the front pages about them, they provide you with something else,” Levin claimed during an appearance on GB News this week.
“In order that they’ll, , divert the discussion… I feel it’s nonsense, I feel any person’s just spreading something,” she continued.
Princess Diana — who’s the mother of Markle’s husband, Prince Harry, 38, — tragically passed away on August 31, 1997 after a high-speed automobile accident in Paris.
Levin identified that Markle had never met the late Princess, but revealed that she has visited her grave before, referencing the moment that was described in Prince Harry’s tell-all memoir, “Spare.”
Prince Harry wrote that the Duchess visited his mother’s gravesite on the twentieth anniversary of Diana’s death.
“She’s never seen Diana, she’s never known her,” Levin said. “She did lie flat and pray to her once when she went to go to her grave, but that’s about it.”
The royal biographer even claimed that the late royal wouldn’t like her because she supported the monarchy.
Levin alleged about Princess Diana, “She’s very much supported the monarchy, she lived very near in Sandringham, and he or she used to go and have tea with the Queen, the family did, and he or she went along and he or she said to each her sons, ‘You realize, this may be very necessary that we keep this going, I need good manners, I need you to prefer it, I need you to participate in it.’”
The Post reached out to Markle’s reps for comment.
But throughout the couple’s limited docu-series on Netflix, “Harry and Meghan,” which premiered last December, Prince Harry compared Markle’s “warmth” and “compassion” to that of his late mother’s.
“She has the identical compassion, she has the identical empathy, she has the identical confidence,” Prince Harry gushed about his wife. “She has this warmth about her.”
The discussion on GB News comes after the announcement that the couple can be splitting from Spotify after Markle’s podcast, “Archetypes,” wouldn’t be renewed for a second season.
On the time, a source near the matter told The Post that the pair’s Archewell media company didn’t produce enough content to receive the total payout of the roughly $20 million deal that Markle and her husband, Prince Harry signed in 2020.
The 12-episode podcast series, titled “Archetypes,” featured Markle as she explored the “labels that attempt to hold women back.”
It was the one project that the couple produced during their two-and-a-half 12 months partnership with Spotify, together with a one-off holiday special.
A joint statement to the Post from Spotify and Archewell Audio said that they’ve “mutually agreed to part ways and are happy with the series we made together.”
Following the news of the Spotify split, rumors began to swirl that Markle could possibly be signing a cope with Dior in a bid to “re-invent” herself by her talent agency, William Morris Endeavor.
“There have been rumors for weeks that she’s about to sign a cope with Dior which has put the gossip mill into overdrive,” the source claimed to columnist Caroline Graham in The Mail on Sunday.
“If she pulls that off, then nobody will do not forget that her silly little podcast got cancelled after one season.”
Nevertheless, the report was quickly put to rest as a Dior spokesperson told Women’s Wear Every day that there have been “no contract negotiations or recent contact” with the Duchess.
Currently, Markle is signed to the team of WME CEO, Ari Emanuel.
Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, currently reside in Montecito, California, and share two children together: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, 4, and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, 2.
