Meghan Markle Visited Diana’s Burial Site for The First Time in 2022 MEGA Markle first visited Diana’s burial site in 2022. This was four years after she married Harry. Harry later reflected on this deeply personal moment in his memoir “Spare,” when he reflected that he brought his wife to pay his respects at the 25th anniversary his mother’s passing. Harry wrote, “This was the first time Meg had visited this place. “And Meg’s first time.” “I was finally bringing the girl of dreams home to meet my mum.” According to Duke, he first stepped aside to allow Markle privacy and a quiet moment by herself at the gravesite. When he returned he found Markle kneeling in front the tomb, visibly upset. “I went around the hedge and scanned the pond, feeling that Meg may also need a moment.” “When I returned, Meg was kneeling with her eyes closed and palms pressed against the stone,” said he. Harry asked her later what she had prayed during that moment. “Clarity,” Markle responded. “And guidance.” The Meghan Markle Dragged for ‘Cosplaying Princess Diana’ first appeared on The Blast
