The sudden decision of Meghan and Prince Harry to separate from the British monarchy will have caught many by surprise, but not Queen Elizabeth, who these days must be immersed in a huge dèja vu . His uncle, who was called to be King Edward VIII , resigned from the throne in December 1936 in favor of his brother, Prince Albert (crowned as George VI), after falling in love with Wallis Simpson, an American who was also divorced who did not It fit the corseted patterns of the British monarchy.

The story, which is looking more and more like the experience during these last two years with the Dukes of Sussex, does not end there in its parallels. Wallis also had to suffer, like Meghan, a demonization by the English press , which held her responsible for some kind of spell. Piers Morgan, without going any further, came to assure this week that Markle had "first separated Harry from William and now also from the rest of the royal family," although, compared to what was said of Simpson at the time, the Insults of the British journalist seem to be only soft reproaches.
