20. Princess Diana was her role model
Meghan mourned the loss of Princess Diana alongside Prince Harry decades before they’d ever met. As a young girl in 1997, she and her friends watched old videos of the wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles and grieved together while watching her funeral. “She was intrigued by Diana not just for her style but for her independent humanitarian mission, seeing her as a role model,” Morton wrote. Her childhood friend confirmed that Markle kept a Princess Diana biography on her bookshelf and observed, “She was always fascinated by the Royal family. She wanted to be Princess Diana 2.0.”
