A Nickname with History
Prince Philip had a unique nickname for Meghan Markle, hinting he was cautious about her joining the royal family. A royal expert spills the beans on what Philip called Meghan, and it’s a zinger that he never said directly to her!
Why Did He Choose This Nickname?
It turns out, Prince Philip, who left us in 2021, had his reservations about the former “Suits” star. He linked Meghan with Wallis Simpson – another American who married into royalty and caused quite the stir. Both women were American and had been divorced before their royal marriages, stirring comparisons.
The Insightful Nickname
Royal guru Ingrid Seward shares the scoop. Philip saw Meghan as similar to Wallis Simpson, and gave Meghan a historic nickname linking her to this controversial figure. “He tried to see the good in them,” Seward said on GB News, “but couldn’t ignore the similarities between Meghan and Wallis Simpson.” Thus, Meghan got the nickname “The Duchess of Windsor,” but only behind her back.
In her book, “My Mother and I,” Seward reveals that Philip labeled Meghan “DoW” for short, signaling he found her as potentially troublesome for the royal dynamics. Despite his suspicions, Queen Elizabeth II remained hopeful about Meghan’s integration into the family.
Meghan’s Current Chapter
After stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Meghan and Harry now enjoy life in California with their kids. While Harry plans a UK return for an event, Meghan prefers staying stateside to avoid unnecessary attention and drama. Meghan’s visits to the UK have been rare since their royal exit, marked only by significant events like Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. She notably missed King Charles III’s coronation, attended by Harry alone.
It seems the nickname “The Duchess of Windsor” was more than just a name for Philip; it was a reflection of his concerns and insights into royal family dynamics.
