A royal photographer claims Princess Diana would not have been a fan of Meghan Markle.

John Swannell, who was personally commissioned by the princess to take what became classic portraits of her with her sons, predicts Diana would think Meghan has ‘stolen’ Prince Harry.

He claims the Duchess of Sussex has turned Harry into a ‘puppet’ and claims she had her own ‘agenda’ when she joined the royal family.

Harry and Meghan were married in 2018. The couple stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 in an alleged attempt to avoid media scrutiny and the pressures of being working royals.

Princess Diana was such an admirer of Mr Swannell’s work, however he does not believe she would have been an admirer of the Duchess of Sussex.

“I don’t think she would have liked her because she would have thought she had stolen her son,” Swannell told The Daily Mail at Brown’s Hotel in Mayfair. “He’s like a puppet now.”

The photographer, 75, is convinced former Suits star Meghan was determined to meet a future husband in this country.

“She apparently had an agenda when she came over,” he claims.

‘She was a little known actress and an opportunity came up and she took it like anyone would. But she is a very clever woman, that’s for sure. She’s an operator.’
