Tatum O’Neal Once Had an Ambitious Vision for Meghan Markle as the Next Princess Diana

Since joining forces with Prince Harry
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/prince-harry/], Meghan Markle
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/meghan-markle] faced a relentless storm of
criticism and judgment from the public eye. Her actions, often branded as
controversial, became fodder for media scrutiny. The eyebrow-raising instance of
donning a hat at Wimbledon, branding her a “rule-breaker” in royal circles. Even
Tatum O’Neal, renowned for her resilience in the face of life’s trials,
surprisingly held strong views about Markle.

Despite facing her own battles and navigating the unforgiving glare of fame,
Tatum O’Neal took a surprisingly critical stance towards Markle. She wanted the
Duchess of Sussex to be the next Princess Diana.


MEGHAN MARKLE SHOULD HAVE REFLECTED PRINCESS DIANA

Tatum O’Neal did not mince words when critiquing Meghan Markle’s supposed lavish
lifestyle. More so, she drew a stark comparison to the modesty of Princess
Diana’s spending habits. During an appearance on Good Day Britain four years
back, O’Neal pointed out Markle’s upgraded engagement ring, extravagant home
renovations, and opulent private jet travel, asserting it did not align with
Princess Diana’s more restrained approach.



During her appearance she expressed deep disappointment, lamenting Markle’s
alleged lack of inclusivity, a quality she admired in Princess Diana. Hoping for
the former Suits actress to carry on Princess Diana’s legacy, she felt let down.
O’ Neal longed for Markle to embody the same open-heartedness as the beloved
princess. Her words reflected a yearning for Markle to fill the shoes of a
compassionate and welcoming figure like Princess Diana. Furthermore,
highlighting her unfulfilled expectations.

If only this was not enough, Markle expressing her discontent during the UK stay
also attracted criticism towards the Suits alum.


MARKLE’S UK DISCONTENT: AN UNWELCOME CRITIQUE

Markle faced intense criticism from royal commentators after reports surfaced
claiming she endured a challenging time during her UK stay. Descriptions of her
discontent in Britain contradicted the excitement witnessed during her wedding,
leaving many surprised. Omid Scobie, co-author of Finding Freedom and Endgame,
revealed Markle’s reluctance to return to England. Moreover, citing her
discomfort and desire to avoid the dramatic royal scene, akin to a “soap opera”
she wished to steer clear of.

Despite her reluctance to set foot in England again, tidbits emerged about the
Sussexes maintaining a tenuous link with King Charles III. Markle was also
spotted all smiles amidst the Omid Scobie scandal.

Their decision to step away from senior royal duties in 2020 led to their
relocation to California, settling in Montecito with their two kids.
