Prince Harry talked about his wife, Meghan Markle, and mom, Princess Diana, in Harry & Meghan. The Duke of Sussex also compared the two and highlighted their similarities. However, one expert argued.
Meghan Markle Is 'Total Opposite' Of Princess Diana, Expert Says
Prince William's younger brother spoke fondly of his wife and late mom in his Netflix docuseries. According to him, both were warm.
"So much of what Meghan is and how she is, is so similar to my mom," Prince Harry said in the documentary.
"She has the same compassion, she has the same empathy, she has the same confidence. She has this warmth about her."
Body language expert Bruce Durham weighed in on Prince Harry's statement and what he observed in Markle and Princess Diana. He didn't agree with the Duke of Sussex at some point in his Believing Bruce YouTube commentary, even saying that Markle is the "total opposite" of the late Princess of Wales.
"One bit of conflict when it comes to Diana and Meghan [is that] Diana was known for proactively, strongly, trying to get her and the kids out of the limelight and away from the cameras," Durham said. "Whereas Meghan on this one aspect seems to be the total opposite."
He noted that Markle is an actor and is "used to the limelight." However, Princess Diana reportedly kept herself away from the cameras as much as possible.
"When you look at that one aspect of the difference between Diana and Meghan, they couldn't be more poles apart," he added.
Is Prince Harry Wrong In Saying Meghan Markle And Princess Diana Are Similar?
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield, host of the To Di For Daily podcast and author of R is for Revenge, echoed Durham's sentiment. For her, they aren't similar because "there is very little" of Princess Diana in Markle.
"I see very little of Princess Diana in Meghan's latest efforts," she told Fox News Digital. "What we loved about Diana was seeing her with people. Holding children. Laughing with the elderly. The empathy and compassion written all over her body."
"Diana wouldn't have taken photographers or a camera crew with her to Uvalde. Everything Meghan does seem superficial and lacks depth and warmth."

British journalist and investigative reporter Tom Bower also claimed in his book Revenge that even Princess Diana's siblings didn't see any similarities between Princess Diana and Markle when Prince Harry introduced his wife to them.
"By then, Harry had introduced Meghan to Diana's two sisters, [Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale], and her best friend Julia Samuel," Bower wrote.
"He was disappointed. No one agreed that his vulnerable mother had anything in common with his girlfriend. More discomforting for him, they thought Meghan would not fit in with the Royal Family."
Do you agree that Meghan Markle and Princess Diana are different? Or do you support Prince Harry's statement that the two important women in his life were similar?
