Members of staff for Meghan and Harry revealed to the author that Princess Diana was a big inspiration for Meghan when she entered into royal life and that Meghan said she wanted to "finish" what her late mother-in-law "started".
When Meghan Markle first joined the Royal Family, she wanted to use the late Princess Diana as a template for her approach to her duties, but on a part-time basis, a royal author has claimed.
Harry also made it clear in his memoir Spare that the couple would have preferred a part-time role within the institution, but claimed that for the senior courtiers who were working for his late grandmother at the time would never have been prepared to accept that, and in fact had already prepared a statement announcing a full break before the summit had even concluded.
Tom Quinn's upcoming, explosive new book - Yes Ma'am, seen by the Mirror - includes exclusive insight from insiders about how Meghan hoped to approach her position as a working royal before she and Harry decided to call it quits and leave life in the UK behind.
They also noted that the Duchess of Sussex really would have preferred to undertake their royal duties only on a part-time basis - something that both Harry and Meghan have said themselves.
