Harry Said Diana & Meghan Would've Been Best Friends & Mom Would Be 'Jumping' for Joy over Their Marriage

Prince Harry would have wished to share his recent milestones of becoming a father and a husband with his mother, Princess Diana. But Harry is sure Meghan Markle and his mother would have been "as thick as thieves."

Prince Harry has had a good couple of years despite the tension between him and his family. The Duke of Sussex found the love of his life Meghan Markle, and together they have welcomed two children, Lilibet and Archie.

However, Harry reportedly cannot help but wonder how things would have been if his mother, Princess Diana, was still alive for all his milestones.

The Duke of Sussex used to make headlines during his bachelor days. But when he met Markle, he did not know what hit him. According to Vanity Fair, Harry and Markle were set up on a blind date by their mutual friend, Misha Nonoo, who reportedly believed they made a good match because of their big hearts.

The couple had their first meet-up at Soho House in London, and Vanity Fair stated that Harry was immediately attracted to Markle's intelligence.

Harry was excited, but he said he knew he "had to up his game", so he made it his mission to ensure he had the best conversation with Markle, reported Vanity Fair.

The feeling was mutual for the "Suits" alum because she reportedly called her friend after and said, "Do I sound crazy when I say this could have legs?"

In an interview with People, Harry expressed that his connection with Markle was instant. He said: "I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly — it was a confirmation to me that all the stars were aligned. This beautiful woman literally tripped and fell into my life."

Therefore, it is no surprise that the couple was quickly ready to take their relationship to the next level. According to People, Harry popped the question after just one year of getting to know each other.

Harry and Markle shared their adorable engagement story with People. The Duke of Sussex explained that it took place on a regular night at their London cottage.

The couple said they were having a cozy night in, making roast chicken for dinner, when Harry went on one knee and asked Markle to marry him. Markle said she did not even wait for him to finish; she immediately interrupted him and said, "Can I say yes now?"

People reported that Harry proposed with a unique ring. The Duke of Sussex said it was a yellow stone he sourced from Botswana that incorporated diamonds from Princess Diana's jewelry collection on either side.

Harry believes Meghan Markle and Princess Diana Would Have Been Best Friends

Markle did not get to meet her mother-in-law, but the actress told People that she interacted with people close to Princess Diana to get a sense of who she was.

The actress said it was special to experience the memories that still live with people who were important to Diana, and for Markle, she needed to understand this part of Harry that holds so much emotion.

While Markle already believes she has felt Princess Diana's aura, Harry told People that he thinks his wife and mother would have been best friends. He added:

"Oh, they'd be thick as thieves, without question; I think she would be over the moon, jumping up and down, you know so excited for me, but then, as I said, would have probably been best friends – best friends with Meghan."

But most importantly, the Duke of Sussex said Princess Diana would have been happy for him and the life he has created for himself, and it's moments like these when he longs for his mother to share all the good news.

How Prince Harry Keeps His Mother's Memory Alive

Prince Harry's decision to step down from his royal duties, his explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, and his eventual move to America caused a rift between him and his brother, Price William.

However, in 2021, ET-Online. reported that the brothers put their differences aside and stood in solidarity to honor their late mother.

According to ET-Online, the brothers reunited at Kensington Palace on July 1, 2021, to unveil Princess Diana's statue in celebration of what would have been her 60th birthday.

The brothers said the statue was to remember Diana's "love, strength, and character–qualities that made her a force for good around the world."

Harry and William ended their sweet tribute by acknowledging that they wished their mother was still alive, but they hoped the statue would be a constant reminder of the legacy she left behind.

To preserve his mother's memory, People stated that Prince Harry named his daughter after the important women in his life, Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana. Her full name was announced as Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.

There is no doubt that the death of Princess Diana has left a void in Harry's heart. But the Duke of Sussex told People that he sees his mother's legacy all around him, especially when he looks at his children.

The Duke of Sussex even said he tried to introduce Princess Diana to his son Archie by putting a photo of the Princess of Wales in his nursery. He said:

"I got a photo of her in his nursery, and it was one of the first words that he said — apart from 'mama,' 'papa,' it was then 'grandma.' Grandma Diana."

Princess Diana left a mark on this world, and Harry and Williams's children will get to know their grandmother's impact through all the memories left behind.
