Many young children dream of living a prince or princess life. We picture it as being this charming life of privilege and love. We know that the Royal Family isn’t all that it’s made out to be because of what we discovered when Diana became a princess and what we have learned once more with Meghan Markle. Harry and Meghan discussed how Harry’s mother helped them leave the royal life behind in their interview with Oprah.
Living off of money left for him by Diana, Meghan and Harry is unsupported by the Royal Family.
In a candid interview with Oprah on March 7, 2021, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle discussed their reasons for leaving the Royal Family. The reasons behind their decision to finally leave Harry’s only life were many and varied, both sad and unexpected.
One of the most shocking revelations, though, was that they had been totally cut off from all funding, including security, by the Royal Family. Fortunately, the couple knew they could always count on Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, to take care of them.
Princess Di is keeping an eye on her son from the afterlife.
The late Princess Diana bequeathed $10 million USD to both of her sons in her will. Harry and Meghan were able to sever ties with the rest of Harry’s family thanks to this money.

The Royals cut off Harry’s access to the family funds at the start of 2020. This was following their announcement that they were resigning from their royal duties and relocating to Vancouver Island on Canada’s west coast.
The couple would have been in dire straits without the Royal funds. specifically in terms of security. They were getting death threats every day from people who were upset with the choices they had made. Up until March 2020, the couple was guarded by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
The money Princess Diana left them allowed them to provide security for themselves and their young family. “I’ve got what my mom left me, and without that, we would not have been able to do this,” Harry told Oprah in the interview. “What my mum would think of this? I think she saw it coming. And I certainly felt her presence throughout this whole process.”
The fallout from the Royal Family: Princess Diana might have foreseen this.
The Royal Family was exposed by Princess Diana in her candid interview with the BBC in 1995. Her interview and Harry and Meghan’s interviews can be compared to find many similarities in the two women’s circumstances.
Meghan was fortunate to have her husband’s backing. Harry witnessed the media harass his mother while she was still alive, and he is well aware of the part it played in her passing. He and Meghan decided to abdicate their responsibilities because he did not want history to repeat itself.
Harry thinks his mother left money for him and his brother because she knew this kind of thing would happen. There is widespread speculation that she had these feelings for Harry in particular because he was the “spare” for the throne. She was aware that compared to William, he would be less important to the family.
She took care of the "spare" because she knew they only cared about the heir.

“I think she would feel very angry and very sad [about the situation], but ultimately, all she’d ever want for us to be happy,” Harry told Oprah.
The Public’s Reaction.
Many people support the couple and their decision to leave the Royal Family, despite the fact that they continue to receive death threats. Online commenters frequently laud Diana for “taking care of her baby from beyond the grave,” in particular.
Without the money and security that Princess Diana left Harry, they would have been totally exposed.
Harry speculates that she may have anticipated the outcome.
Harry: "Yeah, my family cut me off. And if it wasn't for the money that my mum left me, Meghan and I wouldn't have been able to do this and be on our own."
Even in death, Diana still has Harry's back. And that really is a beautiful thing. #HarryAndMeghanOnOprah pic.twitter.com/MJOSli91Bx

“Even in death, Diana still has Harry’s back. And that really is a beautiful thing.” Tweeted another.
Princess Diana was praised by the public for having a kind and affectionate personality. They praised her in particular for the way she raised her two boys. She continued to take precautions to protect her son, his wife, and her grandchild from the brutality of the Royal Family and the paparazzi even decades after her passing.
