Some compare Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's experiences with Princess Diana after they all left the royal family. However, a royal biographer claimed that the Sussexes were very different from the late Princess of Wales.

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Not Similar To Princess Diana, Biographer Claims

Royal biographer Andrew Morton spoke with Vanity Fair, where he weighed in on the differences between King Charles and Princess Diana and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. He noted their respective marriages and how Prince Harry's mom approached her royal exit compared to the Sussexes.

"Diana was trapped in a loveless marriage, whereas these two seem extremely happy together. That's a huge difference," Morton said, Showbiz CheatSheet reported.

"Secondly, Diana gave it 10 years before she rebelled and helped me [on the book]," he continued. "They didn't even give it 10 months. He was meeting with Oprah in November 2018, which was six months after they married, to discuss a tell-all [interview]."

Morton noted that Prince Harry and Markle headed the exit door "fairly rapidly", unlike his mom, who waited for a decade trying to make things work between her and the firm. Morton said it was clearly that Prince Harry found the royal world "suffocating," and he saw a "pathway out" in his wife, Markle.

Princess Diana's Panorama Interview Was Very Different From Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's Oprah Interview?

Aside from comparing Princess Diana's marriage to Prince Harry and Markle's, Morton also examined their infamous interviews.

Diana shook the royal household with her Panorama interview with Martin Bashir, where she blamed King Charles' alleged affair with Queen Consort Camilla Parker-Bowles for their failed relationship.

"There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded," Princess Diana said, implying about her husband's affair.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex seemingly brought the same shock factor to the royal household in their tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021. But for Morton, the two interviews were very different.

"My reaction was quite frankly bafflement," Morton said of the Sussexes' Oprah interview. "So many of [Harry and Meghan's] statements just didn't add up to me."

He added, "So it was very different to the Diana interview, which came from her heart and came at a point when she'd already discussed much of it for Diana: Her True Story."

He also pointed out the significance of the two couples in the British hierarchy.

"You've also got to remember that Diana and Charles are more important people for the monarchy and for the nation than Prince Harry or Meghan will ever be because of their position," he explained. "They were future king and queen. When you've got the future queen saying that the future king is not fit for the job, then that is something that you have to take very seriously."
