Prince Philip's Link Between Wallis Simpson & Meghan Markle

In Ingrid Seward's new book, "My Mother And I," focused on the relationship between King Charles and Queen Elizabeth II, the initial excerpts surprisingly revolve around the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. This follows a recent trend of royal biographers offering revisionist history regarding the royal family. Seward's book suggests that Prince Philip, from the outset, was wary of Meghan Markle, likening her to Wallis Simpson, the American divorcee whose relationship with King Edward VIII led to his abdication. Despite the Queen's approval of Meghan and her hopes for the couple's contributions to the Commonwealth, Prince Philip remained cautious and referred to Meghan as the "Duchess of Windsor."

Queen Elizabeth II never openly expressed her opinions about Meghan Markle, but she did make a few private remarks to close confidantes, including Lady Elizabeth Anson. The Queen found Meghan's Givenchy wedding gown "too white" for a divorced woman remarrying in church. She also had reservations about Prince Charles standing in for Meghan's father and Prince Philip walking down the aisle without a walking stick despite recent hip surgery. During the wedding ceremony, the Queen and Prince Philip were notably uncomfortable with the lengthy sermon by American Archbishop Michael Curry.

The blog post concludes by suggesting that these revelations will likely lead to controversy, with critics attempting to portray Prince Philip's initial skepticism of Meghan as indicative of a broader problem within the royal family. However, the author expresses skepticism about the comparisons drawn between Meghan and Wallis Simpson, arguing that there is little substantial evidence to support such claims and that Prince Philip's condition at the time might not have allowed him to develop a strong negative opinion of Harry's bride.
