Perfect British Royal Family?
Some monarchists regard Meghan Markle as the virus that will destroy a ‘perfect’ royal family. She is not and it was never perfect and so-called royal biographers know it.
The virus is the upper class tradition of married men having affairs with married women within the same social class. The queen knew it before she died. Diana, Princess of Wales who gave birth to Prince William and Prince Harry knew it, but she could not take it. Correction. She left because Prince Charles their father never loved her, and could not hide it from the world.
While monarchists and other supporters of the British royal family mourn the death of Queen 11, it is the right time to revisit how she became queen in the first place. King Edward V111, her father’s brother abdicated because he wanted to be with Wallis Simpson, who was married to Ernest Simpson at the time. Everybody knew about the affair, but it was no headline news because adultery is accepted among princes, earls, lords, dukes and duchesses.
History repeated itself when Prince Charles, while married to the mother of his two sons continued the affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, who was married to Andrew Parker Bowles. He knew. The Queen knew. Prince Phillip knew.
The world knows. That is why Camilla married Prince Charles after her divorce. Why the history lesson? Because accusing Meghan Markle of destroying a 'perfect' vessel is unfounded.
Prince Harry’s mother died because the Queen and kings before her approve of the adulterous tradition, that led to the 1936 abdication and Prince Charles’ divorce from his first wife.
Meghan Markle cannot destroy an institution infested with its own woodworms.
