New Delhi:
A new book by biographer Ingrid Seward has uncovered Prince Philip’s alleged “spiteful” nickname for Meghan Markle, as reported by the entertainment/prince-philips-nasty-nickname-for-meghan-markle-revealed-book/”>New York Post. The late Duke of Edinburgh, who passed away in 2021 at the age of 99, supposedly referred to Markle as the “Duchess of Windsor,” drawing a comparison to the controversial American socialite Wallis Simpson.
The upcoming entertainment/prince-philips-nasty-nickname-for-meghan-markle-revealed-book/&asc_source=web”>book titled “My Mother And I” explores Philip’s perspective on Markle, highlighting similarities between the two women. Seward suggests that Philip found it “uncanny” how much Markle reminded him of Wallis Simpson.
Philip’s perception of Markle seems to have been influenced by the historical context of Wallis Simpson’s marriage to Edward VIII in 1937, after his abdication from the British throne. Like Simpson, Markle entered into marriage as a divorced woman, having previously been married to film producer Trevor Engelson from 2011 until their separation in 2014.
According to Seward’s account, Queen Elizabeth II initially had a more favorable opinion of Markle. The Queen allegedly “approved” of the actress after being introduced to her by Prince Harry in 2017, but with some reservations. Reportedly, the Queen found fault with Markle’s wedding dress, considering it “too white” due to Markle’s previous marriage.
In January 2020, Markle and Prince Harry decided to step back as senior members of the royal family and relocated to California. This move draws parallels with the exit of Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, who fled to France after his abdication.
