The couple are said to have made the trip to Diana’s burial place before they became engaged in November 2017. Harry is believed to have “asked” for his mother’s blessing before proposing over a roast chicken at the end of last year.

A source told the Star: “Harry has already taken Meghan to Althorp to see his mum, but they will go back before the big day.

“Harry wanted to take Meghan to see and speak to her (Diana)… it was very personal for Harry.

“I think he quietly asked his mum for her blessing to marry Meghan, too.”

Both Harry and Prince William last publicly visited the island in which Diana is buried in August 2017 to mark 20 years since the death of their mother. They also visited a memorial outside Kensington palace, where they live with the Duchess of Cambridge.

"She was this ray of light in a fairly grey world," 35-year-old William, her eldest son and second in line to the throne, said in a documentary for the anniversary.

During an interview following the announcement of his engagement to Meghan, Prince Harry said he believes his late mother and his bride-to-be would have been thick as thieves.
