Harry doesn't miss an opportunity to compare Meghan to Diana: 'She has the same empathy, compassion.'

They began dating in 2016, but Meg joked in a 2015 interview that she would date Harry (not William)!
6. CHILDREN OF DIVORCE
Not just Diana & Charles, even Meg's parents were divorced. Meg wrote poems hoping they got together.
7. STALKERS, DEATH THREATS
After her relationship went public, Meg couldn't even shoot for Suits. Paps, stalkers constantly pursued her.
8. MEG HATES HER DAD
Meg isn't on talking terms with her dad. He often took money for tabloid ops after she began dating Harry.
9. MEG'S MUM FACED RACISM
Some saw Doria Ragland as Meghan's 'nanny' as Meg had fairer skin. The
n-word too was hurled at her.

Fitting in in the Family was difficult. The royal engagement was an 'orchestrated reality show', she says.
