Much has changed in the royal sphere since Prince Harry decided to move Stateside with Meghan Markle, leaving the constraints of royal life behind in the UK. This decision has not only subjected them to relentless scrutiny from senior royals and constant surveillance from royal commentators, but it has also created distance within the family tree. Despite the ongoing criticism that follows the Sussexes with every step they take, a royal expert recently suggested that the late Princess Diana would have supported their courageous choice to break free from the confines of royal traditions.

The royal expert, however, additionally believes that Princess Diana would have strongly disapproved of the rift between the brothers that had arisen since.

In a recent interview with OK!, Jennie Bond, former BBC royal correspondent, explained why she believes Prince Harry’s decision to build a life in Montecito, California, with his wife Meghan Markle, and their two children would have impressed his mother, Princess Diana, despite significant opposition from the royal family. Bond suggests that Diana's likely support for this choice might be one reason Prince Harry feels content with his decisions, even though he has experienced some homesickness recently.

Bond, however, believes that Princess Diana would have sought to mend the rift between the estranged brothers, Prince Harry and Prince William. Reflecting on the success of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent tour in Colombia, which drew criticism for its resemblance to royal engagements, the expert noted that if Princess Diana were alive today, the public would likely be accustomed to her balancing visits between the UK and the US to support both of her sons.

Highlighting Prince Harry's dedication to raising awareness about philanthropic issues while breaking away from the royal bindings, the expert emphasized that Princess Diana would have been proud to see him doing such meaningful work.

In her discussion with OK!, Jennie Bond emphasized Prince Harry’s life after relocating to the United States. She pointed to his involvement in the Invictus Games and his philanthropic efforts as examples of the life Princess Diana would have envisioned for her son. Additionally, the royal expert expressed that the Duke’s late mother would have been incredibly proud to see him stand up for his desires, including "freedom and autonomy."

Bond reiterated that Prince Harry's internal conflict between enjoying his freedom from "royal shackles" and his recent feelings of homesickness potentially stems from his belief that he is living the life his mother would have cherished—one that breaks from royal traditions while still maintaining a global presence through his humanitarian efforts. This also explains why he remains committed to the decision he made nearly four years ago, despite widespread criticism.
