Prince William has reportedly reached his breaking point over Meghan Markle’s continuous imitation of Princess Diana, and his frustration has escalated behind closed doors.
Though he maintains his composure in public, sources claim that he has been privately fuming over Meghan’s repeated attempts to mirror his late mother’s style and actions. According to insiders who revealed this information, Meghan’s actions have become an unbearable source of irritation for William. The future king, who has long been protective of his mother’s legacy, is said to be struggling to contain his anger over what he perceives as deliberate attempts to replicate Diana’s image. While he would never publicly condemn his brother’s wife, those close to him insist that he is deeply unsettled by her behavior.
One of the most striking examples of this imitation was a recent social media post by Meghan, where she appeared in a blue sweatshirt with university lettering, an outfit that strongly resembled one worn by Princess Diana. While Meghan’s lower half was not visible in the video, Diana had paired the sweatshirt with white shorts in the original photograph. The uncanny similarity was enough to reignite William’s long-standing frustration with what he sees as a pattern of behavior.
The release of the 2022 Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan was another instance that deeply unsettled William. In one of the episodes, Meghan was seen pointing to a picture of Princess Diana in Prince Archie’s nursery and saying, "Who’s that?" before adding, "Hi, Grandma. That's Grandma Diana." While some saw this as a touching tribute, insiders suggest that William perceived it as yet another calculated move to evoke Diana’s memory in a way that felt disingenuous.
Though Meghan’s actions could be interpreted as a heartfelt effort to honor Diana’s memory and ensure that her grandchildren feel connected to her, skepticism remains. This is particularly due to the commercial ventures she has pursued in tandem with these tributes. From naming her daughter Lilibet Diana to launching her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, Meghan’s choices have been met with scrutiny. Many question whether these gestures are genuine or merely strategic moves to enhance her public image while monetizing her royal connections.
Adding to William’s frustration is the timing of these incidents, which has left Meghan open to widespread criticism. The insider notes that while the prince would likely love to tell Meghan directly to stop invoking his mother’s memory, he is painfully aware that he has no control over her actions. This helplessness, they claim, is what truly fuels his frustration. Despite his deep desire to protect his mother’s legacy, William can do little more than watch as Meghan continues to intertwine Diana’s image with her own, leaving him simmering with anger in private.
