Meghan Markle has reportedly been given a harsh one-word nickname by a senior member of the Royal Family. Can you guess what it might be? Because Meghan was indeed dubbed with a brutal moniker by none other than the late Prince Philip.
According to reports from The Express, Prince Philip's nickname for Meghan drew parallels to a controversial historical figure. Any guesses on what this cutting nickname could be? Nicknames can either be endearing or razor-sharp, and this one from Prince Philip certainly falls into the latter category. Royal expert Ingrid Seward revealed that Prince Philip saw resemblances between Meghan Markle and Wallis Simpson, the American divorcee who married into the Royal Family in the 1930s.
Ingrid Stewart shared insights during an interview with GB News, noting, "I think Prince Philip was very astute about people and he didn't always see the bad in them. He tried to find the good, but he couldn't overlook the similarities between Meghan and Harry, and Edward and Mrs. Simpson."
In her book "My Mother and I," Ingrid Stewart elaborated on Prince Philip's perspective, describing him as cautious about Meghan from the start, one of the few not charmed by her. Sally Bedell Smith, a royal biographer, echoed these sentiments, likening Meghan to Wallis Simpson in terms of narcissism and control. She speculated that Prince William might feel a sense of betrayal towards Harry, similar to King Edward VIII's feelings towards his brother after the abdication crisis.
The comparisons between Meghan and Wallis Simpson are not just speculative; they extend to visual similarities too. Meghan's fashion choices have occasionally mirrored those of Wallis Simpson, sparking public debate and comparisons.
In light of these parallels, it's clear why Prince Philip's nickname for Meghan, "Duchess of Windsor," was more cutting than endearing. It reflects a deeper perception of Meghan that persists in the public eye. Whether Meghan sees herself as a modern-day Wallis Simpson or not remains a subject of debate.
