Insiders Claim Prince William Had a Surprising Reaction to Meghan Markle Being Compared to Princess Diana

Princess Diana was one-of-a-kind; but so is everyone else, no one else can be you, and you can’t be anyone else. But with Diana, it’s understandable that her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, put her on a pedestal. She was the “people’s princess” for crying out loud! However, when Meghan Markle was compared to Diana during her and Harry’s trip to Nigeria, apparently, William’s alleged reaction was a bit shocking.

So, here’s the thing: allegedly, he doesn’t like that Meghan was compared to Diana, but apparently, he also doesn’t like it when his wife, Kate Middleton, is even compared to Diana.

Insiders told Closer via MSN that “William doesn’t want to deprive Harry of the right to celebrate their mother’s legacy. What bothers him is how Meghan’s paraded around as the modern -day version of Diana, he finds that beyond tasteless and offensive, not only to him but also to Kate” (which can be odd, in retrospect, when insiders also claim he doesn’t want Kate to be compared to Diana?!)

“As far as William’s concerned his mother was one of a kind, he doesn’t go around comparing Kate to her, that would be ridiculous. And he thinks it’s just as ridiculous for Meghan to be compared to her,” they said. “She will always be on a pedestal in William’s eyes; it’s no wonder he bristles at the idea of Meghan being held up as a modern-day Diana. The last thing Diana wanted was attention, she was so humble and genuinely shy, she didn’t need fanfare, or to be validated.”

While there is only one Diana, there’s also only one Kate and Meghan; and that’s great. But it has shocked fans that he allegedly doesn’t like it when people do it with Kate; but both Kate and Meghan know how to honor their late mother-in-law.
