The passage of time hasn't managed to erase the deep emotions that Princess Diana left in those who loved her. Her sons, along with her siblings, continue to be figures who draw attention due to the complexity of their relationships. In this context, some members of the royal family still face personal and public challenges.

Family bonds have remained strong, although not free from tensions. Decisions made in private can have a significant impact on the dynamics of the current monarchy. Amid it all, there is a delicate balance between respect and differences.

Rejection and Disappointment Toward Meghan

Biographer Tom Bower reveals in his book that Harry hoped Diana's family would see similarities between Meghan and his mother. "They both shared the same problems," the prince believed with hope. However, his aunts and other relatives disagreed and felt that Meghan didn't fit into the royal family.

Charles Spencer, Diana's brother, was the one who advised Harry not to marry hastily. His advice provoked a bitter reaction in the prince, anticipating the difficulty of integrating Meghan into the family. However, Harry insists that Meghan has characteristics similar to his mother.

In the docuseries "Harry & Meghan," he said that Diana "probably would've been Meghan's best friend." Aunts Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, along with Charles Spencer, have been present at key moments such as christenings and anniversaries. They have shown constant support for Harry, but haven't come to see the similarity between Meghan and Lady Di.

Family Presence in Key Moments

On the tenth anniversary of Diana's death, in 2007, the princes organized a concert in her honor. The aunts and uncle participated actively and Lady Jane was close to William and Harry among the crowd. In addition, the Spencers accompanied the brothers at a memorial service in the Guard Chapel.

Recently, Sarah and Jane have been seen showing affection at family funerals and official events. This closeness confirms that, although there are differences with Meghan, the relationship with Diana's family remains strong. Lady Di's family keeps the bonds of affection and respect alive while navigating the complexities of their history.
