According to royal expert Caroline Bullock, Princess Diana would not have approved of Prince Harry's decision to leave his royal duties behind for a life with Meghan Markle in the United States, especially given his ongoing feud with Prince William."Diana would not have embraced every decision made by her baby boy and his domineering wife," she wrote. "Their pious, perma-victim charade in California would have disappointed her — to say nothing of the petty rows and jealousies that sewed a wide rift between Harry and Will."

While Princess Diana also spoke out against the royal family like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Caroline Bullock claimed the former Princess of Wales would be upset to hear about Prince Harry's struggles — from trying to make money and fighting The Firm for security coverage."How sad she would be to see her hot-headed second son holed up in Montecito, consumed by bitter legal battles and flagging Netflix deals, abandoning the life and duties to be a plus-one to Meghan's ambitions," the journalist noted.

Although Princess Diana helped facilitate a shocking tell-all about her broken marriage to King Charles III and her alleged mistreatment by The Firm, Caroline Bullock said she would not have wanted Prince Harry to end his royal duties to make Meghan Markle happy."Crucially, with Diana, a sense of duty and loyalty ran deep," she explained. "She had a respect for royal etiquette, hierarchy and the late Queen Elizabeth II that contrasts sharply with Meghan's infamous mock re-enactment of her first curtsy to the [late] Queen."
