In an interview with Closer the following month, Burrell even suggested that Harry’s wife and his late mother had things in common. He said, “Harry went after Meghan and married her because she’s like Diana. They are both women who would always stand up for what they believe in and would be no pushovers.” However, Burrell claimed that the similarities between Meghan and Diana might have caused some friction if the princess was still alive.

Burrell admitted, “I think the main difference between them is that Meghan has a game plan, whereas Diana was young and naive.” And while the princess appears to have used the media to her advantage during her lifetime, her former employee hinted that it wasn’t for the same reasons as her future daughter-in-law.
