Andrew Morton, biographer of Diana, Princess of Wales, believes Meghan Markle would have been a successful 'natural royal' if she had stayed longer. He expresses disappointment that she and Prince Harry stepped back from royal duties so quickly.
During her time as a working royal, the Duchess of Sussex was actively involved with numerous charities and launched several key initiatives. She was passionate about advocating for mental health, supporting women's rights, and bridging communities, such as when she united Grenfell Tower fire survivors through the Together: Our Community Cookbook project.
Known for her philanthropic spirit even before marrying Prince Harry, Meghan held significant roles like being an ambassador for World Vision in 2016 and supported women in Mumbai's slums to launch their businesses with the Myna Mahila Foundation. Given her deep commitment to charitable causes, it was somewhat surprising that she stepped back from royal duties. Diana, Princess of Wales' biographer, Andrew Morton, previously spoke to The Mirror's podcast, Pod Save the King, about Meghan and why he believes she would have been a 'natural royal' if she had stayed longer. Expressing his belief, Andrew said: 'The great tragedy, I think, is that Meghan and Harry didn't give it long enough to see whether they could give it a go. They were on the out almost before the wedding music had finished.' Reminiscing about Meghan's activist background, he added: 'Meghan is a natural, I've got pictures of her when she was age 10 leading a march against the first Gulf War at her school. The local TV cameras turned up and she was there giving interviews.' Andrew expressed his disappointment, stating: 'She spoke at the United Nations with Hillary Clinton. She had the great possibility of using her talent and her position to make a genuine change to the world. I don't think she's going to make such a change living in Montecito.' The author also drew comparisons between Prince Harry's charisma and that of his late mother, Diana, saying: 'Prince Harry was and is a natural, he and his wife have got charisma and there is no denying that.
