Prince Harry has revealed that he had once advised his wife, Meghan Markle, against clicking pictures in front of the Taj Mahal during her trip to India to avoid speculating that she was imitating his mother.
The Duke of Sussex revealed the revelation in his memoir, Spare, which has been globally released today, reported Daily Mail.
The Taj Mahal is an Islamic ivory-white marble mausoleum on the right bank of the river Yamuna in the Indian city of Agra.
The Taj Mahal was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage.”
According to the memoir, Meghan Markle went to India in 2017 with World Vision, a non-profit organization, to work on menstrual health and the education of young girls. Prince Harry’s mother, Diana, visited the Taj Mahal in 1992 and got herself clicked sitting alone at the monument.
The photo of Princess Diana later got famous as many thought it reflected her relationship with her husband, Prince Charles, who is now King Charles III. The two got formally divorced in August 1996.
The report added that before Meghan Markle’s India visit, Prince Harry had asked her not to click a photo at the monument as people would think she mimicked Princess Diana, according to NDTV.
“Do not take a photo in front of the Taj Mahal. She’d asked why and I’d said: My mum,’ Prince Harry wrote in the book. The Royal added that he explained his mother’s iconic photo at the Taj Mahal to the Duchess, but Meghan Markle was unaware of it.
“‘I’d explained that my mother had posed for a photo there, and it had become iconic, and I didn’t want anyone thinking Meg was trying to mimic my mother. Meg had never heard of this photo and found the whole thing baffling, and I loved her for being baffled,” the Duke of Sussex wrote, according to the report.
