Meghan Markle And Wallis Simpson – A Study Ii Contrasts

September 16, 2019 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Meghan Markle Wedding Smile

The scandalous relationship between Wallis SImpson and Prince Edward 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 in 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 both 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!
