Stepping into Diana's Shoes: How Kate and Meghan Have Embraced Their Roles

When Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle married Prince William and Prince Harry, they knew they were stepping into some pretty big shoes. After losing their mother, Princess Diana, in 1997, the royal brothers have worked tirelessly to honor her legacy. And let me tell you, their wives have been nothing short of incredible in carrying that torch forward.

According to Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, Diana would be beyond proud of what her sons have accomplished. "She’d really just be so proud," Sarah said. "Even before they got married, Diana would have been like, 'I can’t believe these boys have done so well.' They are such a credit to her." That’s high praise coming from someone who knew Diana so well.

Fergie Speaks Out on Diana's Legacy

Sarah Ferguson appeared on Good Morning Britain back in November 2018, where she shared her thoughts on how much Diana would have cherished her sons' royal weddings. Not only did Fergie believe Diana would love every moment, but she also praised how smoothly Kate, 36, and Meghan, 37, have integrated into the royal family. "I honestly think she would be so proud of the wonderful Meghan and Catherine as well," Sarah said. "She’d want to embrace them and say, 'You’re doing well.'"

And who better to know how proud Diana would be than Sarah Ferguson herself? Thirty years ago, all eyes were on Diana and Sarah. Over the years, their relationship has been described in many ways—best friends, rivals, and everything in between. But times have changed, and now the spotlight is firmly on Meghan and Kate as they continue to honor Diana's legacy in their own unique ways.

Meghan's Inspiration: Following in Diana's Footsteps

Meghan Markle has made it clear that she wants to follow in Princess Diana's footsteps. The former actress has always been inspired by her late mother-in-law, especially when it comes to humanitarian work. In Andrew Morton’s book, Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, the author claims that Meghan "was intrigued by Diana not just for her style but also for her independent humanitarian mission." According to an excerpt in The Sunday Times, "She saw her as a role model."

It’s easy to imagine how much joy Diana would have felt seeing Meghan take on such meaningful causes. Harry himself believes his mother and Meghan would have had a fantastic bond. "They’d be thick as thieves, without question," Harry told the BBC after his engagement. "I think she would be over the moon, jumping up and down, you know so excited for me." He even added that Diana and Meghan would have been "best friends."
