Royal expert says Princess Diana “had it 1,000 times worse” than Meghan Markle
in the docuseries harry and meghanthe couple details the challenges that ultimately led them to leave the royal family.
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield, founder of ToDiFor Daily, weighed in on the comparisons between meghan and dianasaying Express that Diana’s experience with media scrutiny was much worse.
“Are there dozens of people jumping out of the bushes or waiting outside the gym for a Meghan Markle photo? No. Diana had it 1,000 times worse than Meghan,” she explained.
According to Schofield, “there is no comparison” between Meghan and Diana. She explained: “No matter how hard Meghan looks for comparisons to Diana, people who knew and loved Diana would say there is no comparison. Especially when it comes to empathy and compassion towards the staff. Diana would go to the houses of her staff to have tea with gifts and laughter.
Schofield continued: “She invited her children to play with the princes. We don’t hear the same stories about the revolving door from Meghan’s employees.”
Expert admits it’s hard to compare Meghan and Diana
The royal expert also pointed out how “Princess Diana endured media scrutiny for nearly two decades.”
Schofield admitted that “some of the media attention towards Meghan has been cruel,” but noted that Harry and Meghan “clearly document and save everything but have no authentic information.” Images of Meghan being harassed by the paparazzi.”
She also touched on how an apples-to-apples comparison of the two women isn’t really possible. “I think it’s very difficult to compare. Especially when Harry and Meghan need the media a lot more than Diana,” she explained. “Diana used them…because they were there…but Harry told us on Oprah that Spotify and Netflix are paying his bills.”
The Sussexes “have to court the media because now they are looking for entertainment companies and the only way to maintain that life is by giving access to certain media outlets,” Schofield explained.
Diana also didn’t have a partner in her marriage to lean on, while Harry and Meghan lean on each other. She explained: “Diana is a very likeable character. She married young, sweet, innocent… …and she was alone throughout her marriage. She felt used and rejected. Harry and Meghan are very lucky to have each other’s love and support.”
Latest ‘Harry and Meghan’ trailer reveals how Meghan was supposedly a ‘scapegoat’ for the palace
In the latest trailer for harry and meghan vol. II, the Duchess of Sussex’s friend Lucy Fraser claimed: “Meg became the scapegoat of the palace.” She explained: “She was fed stories, true or not, to prevent less favorable stories from being published.”
Meghan discussed how the media covered stories about her to downplay other happenings in the family. “You’d just see how it plays out,” she said.
“Like a story about someone in the family popping up for a minute and saying, ‘We’ve got to make that go away,'” Meghan added. “But there’s real estate on the home page of a website, there’s real estate there on the front page of a newspaper, and there’s something to fill in about someone royal.”
