Controversy has erupted on social media as Candace Owens’s theory suggesting that Prince Harry believes Meghan Markle is Princess Diana gains traction on TikTok.
In a provocative monologue, the conservative commentator claims that Meghan is exploiting Prince Harry’s childhood trauma of losing his mother.
Prince Harry himself has expressed concerns that history may be repeating itself, drawing parallels between Meghan’s experiences with the royal family and those of his late mother, Princess Diana.
Many commentators have speculated that Prince Harry’s desire to protect Meghan stems from his own unresolved childhood wounds.
However, Owens takes her theory a step further, suggesting that Meghan has manipulated Prince Harry by using the trauma of Princess Diana’s tragic death in a 1997 car crash to solidify their relationship.
Owens originally presented her monologue on a Daily Wire show in December 2022, following the release of the couple’s Netflix docuseries, “Harry and Meghan.”
Recently, the video resurfaced on TikTok, where it has garnered nearly 13,000 likes and over 200,000 views.
Owens asserts that Meghan has convinced Prince Harry that she is Princess Diana—an assertion that raises disturbing questions on multiple levels.
Expanding on Meghan’s struggles with thoughts of death, which she revealed in a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, Owens criticizes Meghan for emotionally mistreating Prince Harry.
Meghan admitted to feeling ashamed of sharing her thoughts with Prince Harry, given the extent of his own loss.
She confessed, “I was really ashamed to say it at the time and ashamed to have admitted to Harry, especially because I know how much loss he suffered.
But I knew that if I didn’t say it, that I would do it, and I just didn’t want to be alive anymore.
And that was a very clear and very real and frightening constant thought.”
Owens argues that Meghan’s disclosure triggered Prince Harry and ultimately led to their departure from the royal family.
This discussion comes at a time when Meghan Markle is being advised to approach her upcoming memoir with a strategic mindset.
Experts suggest that she should exercise discretion and avoid topics that may harm her popularity.
Commenting on this, Rhee states, “If Meghan’s writing a memoir, she’ll have approached this with a strategic mindset.
The million-dollar question is, of course, whether there’ll be any mention of her time in the royal family.
This is difficult for anyone to say for certain.”
Rhee adds that given the significant impact it had on Meghan’s life, one would expect her to address this period, despite already sharing her experiences in the docuseries with Oprah Winfrey.
It is speculated that Meghan may choose to discuss issues of race, especially following the revelation of names in a leaked translation of “Endgame.”
However, the key for Meghan will be to handle these topics discreetly, in order to maintain credibility and avoid appearing vindictive or overly sensationalistic.
Undoubtedly, if Meghan decides to embark on writing a memoir, she will have carefully considered the potential impact on her relationships, particularly with members of the royal family.
