Evidence to show she WAS interested in royalty

MEGHAN claims she never looked up her husband online, telling Oprah: ‘I didn’t grow up knowing much about the Royal Family. It wasn’t something that was part of conversation at home. It wasn’t something that we followed.’

Childhood friends remember things differently, however.

One, Suzy Ardakani, has alleged that they would spend playdates watching Diana’s 1981 wedding to Prince Charles.

‘I always loved Diana and I have her biography, which I gave Meghan to read,’ Suzy’s mother Sonia told the Mail in 2017. ‘I videoed Diana’s wedding back in 1981, and I would watch it with Suzy and Meghan all those years later. They would also see items about her on TV.’

Another old school-friend, Ninaki Priddy, told interviewers how they were photographed together (right) outside Buckingham Palace during a 1996 visit to London: ‘Meghan was always fascinated by the Royal Family. She wants to be Princess Diana 2.0.’

A year later year, Princess Diana died. ‘Aged 16, she watched the funeral of Diana with her friends,’ biographer Andrew Morton has written, ‘tears coursing down their cheeks at the poignant moment when the cameras zoomed in on the royal coffin.’

Royal affairs were also discussed on Meghan’s lifestyle blog The Tig when Prince William married Kate Middleton in 2011: ‘Little girls dream of being princesses,’ she wrote. ‘And grown women seem to retain this childhood fantasy. Just look at the pomp and circumstance surrounding the Royal Wedding.’
