Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, would have never got married had Harry’s mother Princess Diana been alive, an expert has claimed

Six years ago today, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex tied the knot in a lavish Royal Wedding held in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry got hitched on May 19, 2018, with the couple saying “I do” surrounded by friends, family, and loved ones as the world watched the televised landmark event. But if Princess Diana had still been alive, one royal expert believes the wedding may never have taken place.

Back in March, Dickie Arbiter spoke to Times Radio about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The commentator on the British Royal Family, who was the press spokesman for Queen Elizabeth II from 1988 until 2000, said that he believes if Diana had been alive, Harry and Meghan would not have got married.

Speaking two months ago, Mr Arbiter said: “If Diana had been alive, I’m going to stick my neck out here, and I doubt Harry would have married Meghan.” He went on to add: “Diana was very careful about her boys, they were her boys. She protected them, and she would have protected them against anybody she felt wasn’t the right person.”

He then spoke of how Harry had a “number of girlfriends” but they didn’t want to “be in the goldfish bowl”, but he wanted something like his brother William had – a marriage and kids. Mr Arbiter added: “My own personal opinion is that he rushed into the marriage.”

He went on to say that he believes Diana, who sadly died in 1997, would have put a “question mark over it”, noting that he feels Harry wouldn’t be where he is now if Diana was still alive.

Commenting on the video, which was shared on Times Radio’s YouTube Channel, one person said: “I said from the beginning that Diana would never have approved of her.”

Another added: “I have always said Diana would have seen through Meghan Markle in a New York minute. She would never have allowed Harry to marry her.” While a third penned: “I absolutely agree. I don’t think Megan Markle would have been able to get near Harry. He would NEVER married this woman.”
