Why does Meghan Markle mistakenly believe she was included in Diana's last will?

The confusion and misinformation surrounding Meghan Markle's supposed inclusion in Princess Diana's will continue to perpetuate on various online platforms. The public has different views regarding Diana; some see her as misunderstood, mistreated, and even ‘abused’. However, the reality is quite different from the romanticized narrative.

Diana’s Legacy and Legalities of Wills

Princess Diana, a legend in her own right, passed away on August 31, 1997. At the time of her death, Diana was in the process of finalizing her divorce from Prince Charles and had already written her will. Understandably, she had little to no connection with Meghan Markle at that time. Meghan, according to her official birthdate, was a 16-year-old American actress having just started her career and had never ventured to the UK.

The legal process of distributing her estate was handled by Diana’s legal guardians and her sisters, not through her will. Even if Diana had wanted to include someone in her will, she would have had to do so before her death. No third party could alter or remove anyone from a will that was proven and administered 26 years ago.

Realities of Inclusion in Diana’s Will

The confusion arises when people misconstrue ‘including someone in a will’ with ‘mentioning them in casual conversation’. Diana’s will was not a mere social document; it was a formal and legally binding document. She had no need to leave instructions for potential unknown acquaintances.

When Princess Diana passed away, she had not met or interacted with Meghan Markle. In fact, by the time Diana’s will was finalized, Meghan was merely a young actress with no influence or connection to the British royal family. It is highly improbable that Diana would have considered such an individual in her final legal document. The notion of her including or omitting an American actress from her will is nothing but sheer speculation.

Allegations of Royal Property Theft and the Absurdity of the Claims

Another point of contention is the recent allegations of royal jewelry theft. While it is true that Meghan Markle has been criticized for lending and ‘losing’ a bracelet from the Royal Collection, these claims do not hold much merit. The Royal Collection is meticulously safeguarded and stored in a strongroom at all times. A former Borrower of State, who has no authorized access to the collection, would find it nearly impossible to steal any item.

Furthermore, since the time of her departure from the monarchy, Meghan has no legitimate right to borrow from the Royal Collection. Whether she ‘lost’ or ‘kept' the bracelet, the context of the situation suggests that the issue was more about a misunderstanding or an error rather than theft.

Conclusion and Reflection

To sum up, the misinformation about Meghan Markle’s supposed inclusion in Diana's will or the theft of royal jewels reflects a poor understanding of the realities and legalities involved in the matter. The public should be aware that speculative claims lack factual basis and often misrepresent the truth. It is important to maintain logical and factual discourse to honor the legacies of Princess Diana and other royal figures.
