Princess Diana died when Prince Harry was only 12 years old. Amid the chaos in the royal family, a source from the palace revealed that the former Princess of Wales would not have allowed her younger son to marry Meghan Markle, had she been alive.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex went on to marry at the St. George’s Chapel in the Windsor Castle. The duo tied the knot in 2019, and the world watched the royal union. However, the royal commentator, Dickie Arbitor, shared his opinions over the wedding.
In his conversation with Radio Times, the former spokesperson to Queen Elizabeth shared, “If Diana had been alive, I’m going to stick my neck out here, and I doubt Harry would have married Meghan.”
He further added, “Diana was very careful about her boys, they were her boys. She protected them, and she would have protected them against anybody she felt wasn’t the right person.”

The royal expert claimed that Diana’s opinions had largely impacted the princes in the past, and her decision would have mattered too over Prince Harry’s wedding talks. Lady Diana, who passed away in 1997, would have put a big question mark on Harry’s choices, states the royal spokesperson. He also believes so, as he revealed, “A lot of Harry’s problems, he’s admitted it, come from the fact that he’s not over that his mother was killed.”
The spokesperson also pointed out that Harry had been in relationships with other women as well, but none of them continued to serve longer with the former royal member as it could bind them with responsibilities. The royal expert claimed that the women before Markle did not want to “be in the goldfish bowl.”
The source concluded by saying, “My own personal opinion is that he rushed into the marriage.”
As for Diana, the princess was killed in a car crash that took place in Paris on the night of August 31. The 36 year old left behind her grieving sons and her ex-husband, Prince Charles. The night was heavy for the public, who titled the former Spencer as People’s Princess.

President Droupadi Murmu has raised concern over lack of support from the society to women survivors of targeted crimes against them.
The President’s remarks comes amid outrage across the nation over crime against women. The rape and murder of a junior doctor in a Kolkata hospital, and over a dozen cases of sexual harassment and rape filed against well-known actors in the Malayalam film industry, have sparked calls for a thorough relook at how India has been treating its women and girls.
“It is a sad aspect of our social life that even after committing a crime, the criminals roam around fearlessly. Those who are victims of their crimes live in fear as if their own thoughts have committed many crimes. The situation of women victims is even worse because even the people of society do not support them,” President Murmu said in her valedictory address at the National Conference of the District Judiciary to mark 75 years of the Supreme Court.
यह हमारे सामाजिक जीवन का एक दुखद पहलू है कि, कुछ मामलों में, साधन-सम्पन्न लोग अपराध करने के बाद भी निर्भीक और स्वच्छंद घूमते रहते हैं। जो लोग उनके अपराधों से पीड़ित होते हैं, वे डरे-सहमे रहते हैं, मानो उन्हीं बेचारों ने कोई अपराध कर दिया हो।

She said all stakeholders must work together to overcome the numerous challenges facing the judicial system.
“I am told that in recent times there has been improvement in the availability of timely administration, infrastructure, facilities, training, and manpower. But there is still much to be done in all these areas. I believe that there should be rapid progress in all the dimensions of reform,” she said.
“I am happy to note that the number of women in the selection committees has increased in recent years. This increase has led to a 50 per cent increase in the number of women in the selection committees,” President Murmu said.
The Supreme Court organised the two-day National Conference of the District Judiciary on August 31 and September 1; over 800 participants from the district judiciary of all states and Union Territories attended.
The President and Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal called for finding a solution for the practice of deferment of court cases and to break the common perception of “tarikh par tarikh” culture.
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said they have skilfully laid out an action plan for reducing case pendency through case management.
The judges of the Supreme Court, Chief Justices of high courts, Secretary General of the Supreme Court, along with the Registrar Generals of high courts participated in the conference.
