Kate Compared to Diana as William Rejects Tribute; Meghan Blames Kate for Palace Rift?

s Catherine becoming the Royal Family’s new Diana? Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond says William and Catherine possess the same “wow factor” associated with Princess Diana, while author Christopher Andersen says William appears happy to let his wife command the spotlight. Catherine, meanwhile, has revealed that despite years of royal engagements, her naturally soft voice can still make crowded receptions difficult.

The comparisons arrive as Princess Diana once again becomes central to the tensions surrounding William and Harry. Prince William has reportedly rejected approaches involving films marking thirty years since his mother’s death, while Harry is reportedly considering his own tribute. Another report claims William’s anger toward Harry has faded into something closer to emotional distance.

Meanwhile, an unnamed source claims Meghan believes Catherine has helped shape the Palace’s tougher approach toward the Sussexes and views Kate’s increasingly visible royal appearances as an attempt to demonstrate how royal duties should be performed.

And Harry’s reported Diana project may be encountering resistance. A report claims Diana’s sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, have declined to participate. Plus, Charles Spencer’s memoir includes the remarkable claim that Diana once wondered whether she might become First Lady of the United States.

Questions this episode answers: Is Kate Middleton being compared to Princess Diana? What has Prince William said about Catherine? Why does Kate struggle at crowded royal events? Is Prince William refusing to participate in a Princess Diana documentary? Is Prince Harry making a Diana film? Have Diana’s sisters refused to participate in Harry’s project? Does Meghan blame Kate for the Sussexes’ Palace problems? And did Princess Diana ever consider becoming an American First Lady?
