Meghan Markle's explosive interview was scheduled on purpose to coincide with the anniversary of Princess Diana’s passing.

Markle and her PR team carefully scheduled her first big interview after her bombshell sit-down with Oprah Winfrey to run the same week as the 25th anniversary of the Princess of Wale’s death, sources tell RadarOnline.com.

“Some people will say it was scheduled to coincide with the debut on Meghan’s podcast. But that happened last week. No, it was scheduled to debut the week of Diana’s death,” insiders revealed to RadarOnline.com. “Part of the agreement Meghan’s team made with the outlet was that it had to debut the week of August 29th. Meghan was not given copy or photo approval, but she was given a guaranteed when the interview would run.”

This wasn’t to compete with her late mother-in-law's tragic anniversary but rather to compliment it.

“What better time for Meghan to talk about how she was treated by the royal family? The same family who was so cruel to Princess Diana,” asks a pal. “Meghan knows exactly what she is doing. Not only did she schedule the interview to run this week but she also worked with Spotify to make sure her podcast debuted this month too.”
