Prince Harry reveals that his wife, Duchess Meghan, did not know an iconic image of his mother, Princess Diana.
Prince Harry (38) has published his memoirs entitled “Spare” (German title: “Reserve”). In addition to attacks on his royal family, the 416-page book also contains a number of private anecdotes. The British “Daily Mail” reports from “Spare”that Harry asked his wife Duchess Meghan (41) not to have a photo taken of himself in front of the world-famous Taj Mahal in India. Harry wanted to avoid Meghan being accused of imitating his mother Princess Diana (1961-1997).
Princess Diana’s iconic Taj Mahal image from 1992
In 1992, Harry’s mother was photographed in front of the UNESCO World Heritage building in northern India – alone on a bench in front of the huge Taj Mahal. The world-famous photo became in the minds of many people a symbolic expression of the end of the marriage between Diana and the current King Charles III. (74). In December of the same year, the two spouses then announced their official separation.
Duchess Meghan didn’t even know the iconic photo
As Prince Harry continues to write in “Spare”, his wife asked why after his request not to have a picture taken of himself in front of the Taj Mahal. He then explained that Diana had posed for a picture there. But Meghan had never heard of that photo and found “the whole thing amazing”. For this, according to Harry, he then in turn “loved” his wife.
