New Idea reported that Meghan Markle, who the outlet insisted had been a “long-time fan of the late Princess Diana,” had recently discovered that the late mother of her husband Prince Harry had left a set of secret tapes behind.
The alleged tapes were first reported on by The Globe, and supposedly contained a message for Princess Diana’s eldest son, Prince William, and his as-yet-known future bride. According to the disreputable tabloid, Princess Diana apparently had a premonition about her death.
The alleged tapes supposedly advised Prince William on how to avoid the mistakes Princess Diana made in her own marriage. There was also a special message for Prince William’s wife, who Princess Diana insisted would be “beautiful, smart and independent.” She allegedly said, “I know I’d adore you and we’d be fast friends.”
You’d have to be someone truly special. If you weren’t you wouldn’t be my William’s wife.
The tabloid went on to hint that Kate Middleton had heard the tape, but sources insisted that Markle was “demanding” to hear it as well. “She feels ripped off that Diana didn’t do the same for Harry – she’d have loved a message from beyond the grave and says that, as Diana’s other daughter-in-law, she deserves to hear the message as well,” said a source.
Of course, she doesn’t seem to understand that the whole point of the tape was to advise and support William’s choice of the future queen – which Meghan is not. Kate and William hold those tapes close and won’t let anyone have them.
Let’s break this story down to its roots. The initial reporting of the supposed “secret tapes” came from one of the most infamously disreputable tabloids that Gossip Cop covers. The Globe has previously reported all sorts of nonsense about the royal family.
The outlet questioned Prince Harry’s paternity on numerous occasions, claimed that Prince William accused his father, Prince Charles, of murder, and even printed a bizarre story insisting that a “secret daughter” of Prince Charles and Princess Diana had tried to give Meghan Markle a warning about her father-in-law.
