Meghan Markle And Wallis Simpson – American Royalty

April 23, 2021 @ 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM

$10
Meghan Markle Wedding Smile

Wallis Simpson and Prince Edward’s scandalous relationship led to a Royal abdication and quite nearly brought down the British Monarchy. The engagement of American actress, model, and philanthropist Meghan Markle to Prince Harry of Great Britain caused many people in America and England to ask the same question: “Who is Meghan Markle?”

The interest was so intense that in December 2018, Google declared that “Meghan Markle” was the most searched name in the entire year!

The short answer is that Meghan Markle is a deeply compassionate and quite brilliant graduate of Northwestern University Meghan Markle(with degrees in International Relations and Theater! The biracial American divorcee was a star on a popular cable TV show called “Suits” after a stint as a sexy  ‘briefcase girl’ on “Deal Or No Deal.”  But look deeper, and you find that the remarkable Meghan Markle also ran a very influential motivational website with millions of followers and actively, passionately served in numerous charitable enterprises. So while she is not as famous as Rita Hayworth or Grace Kelly, Meghan Markle is a wonderful person and already very popular in England!

Wallis Simpson was the twice-divorced, promiscuous, social-climbing American who bewitched the weak-willed, promiscuous future King of England. She was still married when she began her affair with the fitter King – and was actively cheating on him with another married man! Although Hitler said Wallis would make “A great Queen,” the Royal Family and the British people thought differently. After King Edward’s abdication, they were effectively banished from Britain!

This fascinating multimedia presentation will look at these two very different and very controversial women!
