Royal author Simon Vigar hails Meghan Markle’s “huge Princess Diana potential” in his new book The Four Wives of Windsor, praising her as “obviously a massive asset” who was “brilliant with the crowd” and “would have been a major player”.
He singles out her Grenfell cookbook as proof she is “a doer”, lamenting “it is such a shame that it’s gone to waste”.
Unlike Diana, who wed at 20, Meghan arrived at 36 with “different expectations” and “expected total PR control, which was not possible in the British royal family”.
Mr Vigar says of the Duchess of Sussex: “She should have been, could have been, fantastic for the royal family but egos on both sides got in the way.”
By 2019 “nobody was talking to each other” and the couple “seemed to be on a path where they felt alone”. They “should have been transformative”, yet that promise was squandered.
