Meghan and Harry were accused of being 'tasteless' after visiting Diana's grave. But this is the quiet show of support from Earl Spencer so many missed - and what it reveals about his relationship with the couple: RICHARD EDEN

This article discusses the relationship between Prince Harry and Earl Spencer, highlighting their close bond despite the controversy surrounding Harry and Meghan's visit to Princess Diana's grave. It references Earl Spencer's emotional eulogy at Diana's 1997 funeral, where he expressed hope for William and Harry to live authentically beyond royal duties. The piece notes that while William has distanced himself from Spencer, Harry has maintained a close connection, spending more time with his uncle than with his father, King Charles. The article also mentions Harry's consideration of changing his family name to Spencer, which would have conflicted with the Mountbatten-Windsor name used for his children. It connects this to historical influences, including Prince Philip's adoption of the Mountbatten name.

Meghan Markle reveals Prince Harry's advice which got her through 'really hard days'

Meghan Markle discussed how advice from Prince Harry helped her cope with difficult times during a Q&A session at a special screening of the documentary 'Cookie Queens,' which she and Harry executive-produced. The Duchess of Sussex mentioned a quote Harry gave her from his decade-long service in the British Army, saying that even during storms, the sun shines above them. This perspective helps her maintain hope during tough periods. Meghan recently made her first public appearance in months after traveling to the UK, where she and Harry visited Althorp, the Spencer family home, and paid respects at the burial site of the late Princess Diana. The visit included photos of their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, at the estate.

Bias read (Center): The article presents Meghan Markle's personal reflection on advice from Prince Harry, focusing on emotional support rather than political commentary. It includes references to royal duties and historical connections but does not take a clear stance on any political issue. The framing remains neutral
