Mr Burrell suggested that the move could be a way of the two continuing Diana’s charity work.

The princess was famed for her work raising awareness about landmines still posing a threat to innocents in countries ravaged by war in previous years.

This morning, Mr Burrell was said that the move would be a way ‘to fulfil Diana’s work and her dreams’, adding ‘it’s very important for them to continue’ it. 

His remarks came after it was revealed that Meghan was forced to forego the home birth she’d wanted and gave birth at London’s Portland Hospital.
