The Daily Telegraph’s Allison Pearson, meanwhile, dubbed the interview “a devastating act of lèse-majesté.” “I’m sure that this profoundly polarizing interview will be a big hit with Americans and with the younger generation which sees ‘speaking my truth’ as fabulous personal empowerment,” she wrote. “Older British viewers may find their toes curling. And their lips.” That’s a really loaded piece of toast, as Oprah might say (and did, to my absolute delight). Perhaps these are the same aging Britons who inflicted Brexit on younger and future generations, clinging to the myth of Britain as a doughty island nation with an empire and an unshakeable royal family. Anyway, don’t get me started.
Let’s get back to Meghan’s frocks! There was a time in the living memory of Britain’s monarch when the greatest threat to the crown was seen to be embodied in the trim person of Wallis Warfield Simpson, another American divorcée with a complicated back story and fastidious taste. She and the Duke of Windsor, future King Edward VIII, made spiteful fun of the duke’s sister-in-law, the sweet-faced Duchess of York, calling her “Cookie” in reference to the scurrilous rumors that her mother was the French cook at her childhood home of Glamis Castle. When Edward VIII abdicated the throne “for the woman I love,” he thrust his stuttering, ill-prepared younger brother into the role as King George VI, and his wife, the former Duchess of York, became Queen Elizabeth. She would come to exact her revenge, blaming the Windsors for inflicting the pressures of the job on her husband and ultimately for driving him to an early grave at the age of 56. (The king, who was a very heavy smoker, died of coronary thrombosis.) Their daughter Princess Elizabeth ascended to the throne and, as we all know, has devoted herself to the sacred vows that she made at her 1953 coronation and to the soul-destroying litany of events that make up the royal year with unimpeachable diligence and dignity for nigh on 70 years.
