Prince Philip's cruel nickname for Meghan Markle showed his true feelings for her

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Meghan Markle was given a rather harsh nickname by Prince Philip, which revealed his true feelings towards her that he "couldn't escape", according to a royal expert.The late Duke of Edinburgh, who passed away in 2021, is believed to have been "wary" of the former 'Suits' actress and saw similarities with Wallis Simpson, another American divorcee who married into the British Royal family.The comparison between Meghan and Prince Edward's wife has been made before, but it's claimed that Philip took it a step further by giving Meghan a nickname, although he never said it directly to her or in her presence.Royal commentator and author Ingrid Seward has suggested that Philip noticed "similarities" between Meghan and the notorious Duchess of Windsor, Wallis Simpson, and gave Meghan a nickname that linked the two, reports the Mirror.In an interview with GB News, Seward commented: "I think Prince Philip was very astute about people and he didn't always see the bad in them, he tried to see the good in them.

I think he just couldn't escape from the fact [of the] similarities between Meghan and Harry and Edward and Mrs Simpson." She added: "There are so many similarities which is why he used to call her The Duchess of Windsor, I mean not to her face.

We used to call her dow - DoW [the abbreviation for Duchess of Windsor]."In her tell-all book 'My Mother and I', Seward reveals that the late Duke of Edinburgh harboured reservations about Meghan Markle, writing: "One of the few wary of succumbing to (Meghan's) charm offensive...

was Prince Philip. From the moment he detected her apparent similarity to Wallis, he referred to her as DoW."Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll
