An insider has shed light on the true motivation behind Prince Harry’s decision to follow Meghan Markle to the United States, revealing a deep connection to his late mother, Princess Diana. In an interview with OK! Magazine, the insider explained that Harry’s actions were profoundly influenced by his memories of his mother and the struggles she faced.
“Harry was scarred by what his mother went through, and when he saw the same thing happening to Meghan, he knew he must act,” the insider shared. The source went on to emphasize Harry’s conviction that Diana would have supported his decision to leave the royal family. “He’s certain his mother would have approved of him leaving the royal family.
Diana had tried to do the same, and he thinks she would be proud of him and his new life.” However, this perspective is not universally shared within the royal family. According to the insider, Prince William holds a different view. “Prince William thinks their mother would be appalled by Harry abandoning his family. It would break her heart to see brother against brother,” the source revealed.
The emotional impact of their mother’s legacy continues to affect both brothers deeply. “Diana’s birthday is painful for Harry and William both,” the insider noted. “For Harry, he thinks about what could have been, and William is reminded of being without her from such a young age. The loss of their mother cuts deep.”
This poignant reflection highlights the enduring influence of Princess Diana on her sons and their lives. Harry’s move to the US, spurred by a desire to protect his wife and family from the same media scrutiny and personal struggles that plagued his mother, underscores the profound emotional scars left by Diana’s experiences.
As Harry and Meghan continue to build their new life in America, the shadow of Diana’s legacy looms large, shaping their decisions and their vision for the future. The differing views of Harry and William on what Diana would have wanted further illustrate the complex and deeply personal nature of their relationship with their late mother and with each other.
