A series of odd coincidences linking Diana, Princess of Wales to Meghan Markle and Meghan's daughter Lilibet Diana have been spotted by obsessed Royal fans. Lilibet Diana, the second child of Meghan and Prince Harry was named in honour of his mother and grandmother.
Now podcasters have spotted a weird link between Diana, and Lilibet's date and location of birth. Lilibet was born in a southern California hospital on June 4, 2021. The birth came 25 years to the day that Diana visited Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois on June 4, 1996.
And the location is also a match as three years after Diana's visit - an 18-year-old Meghan enrolled at the same university as a student, reports the Star.
The hosts of the Royally Obsessed podcast were among those stunned to discover this, with commentator Roberta Fiorito saying: “25 years ago to the day that Lili was born, Diana visited Northwestern, which we know is Meghan’s alma mater. It’s just getting eerie. It’s scary.”
Co-host Rachel Bowie was also shocked by the striking coincidence and agreed that lining-up of dates was "just eerie".
Diana’s 1996 trip was primarily to raise money for the university's Robert H Lurie Cancer Centre, which is considered to be one of the country’s leading research facilities. After the visit, the princess was sometimes spotted wearing a Northwestern sweater, which became part of her gym wear.
