During Harry and Meghan's explosive tell-all with Oprah Winfrey, not only did Meghan wear Lady Di's old sparkling diamond tennis bracelet, but Harry also revealed that when the Royal Family cut him off financially at the start of 2020, the only way he could afford security for his family was thanks to the the money his mother had left behind. “I think she saw it coming,” he said, adding that the decision for him to leave the Royal Family was also influenced by Diana. “My biggest concern was history repeating itself," Harry said.
