Diana was 19 yrs old when she married, Meghan was 37, a mature woman (or should be) and should have thought carefully about what she was getting into, though IMO she never intended to be a dutiful royal wife, she had other plans.

Diana carried out her duties for many years under terrible strain and bulimia besides before she went kind of rogue, which she had good reason to do, Meghan gave it barely more than a year even though she was welcomed into the family who didn’t want to repeat their mistakes with Diana.
Meghan has the love of a supportive husband, Diana did not.

Diana earned the love and acceptance of the people before she tried to do anything political, like her land mine campaign, and she was actually divorced then anyway.
Meghan came into the family with all guns blazing, looking to make them more ‘progressive’. Fine, once you have earned respect and acceptance, but not off the hoof. I mean, who did the upstart Diva think she was?
After her divorce, with a settlement of a paltry 17 million in royal terms, Diana was offered numerous money making deals from the likes of perfume houses and TV networks and turned them all down. Meghan (and Harry) wanted to give up their public funding, which is only 5% of their income to make millions with commerical deals.
Not the same at all.

That’s a great assessment.... Diana and Meghan really draw no comparisons whatsoever.
