Meghan Markle’s journey and future as a royal alarmingly seem to resemble that of another duchess, Sarah Ferguson. Over the years, Ferguson and her former husband, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, have found themselves at the center of multiple controversies. Now, reports have started drawing parallels between her and Markle. An insider alleged that her future in the monarchy looks grim, as they fear history might repeat itself.
Meghan Markle’s life as a royal is similar to Sarah Ferguson’s, says insider
Rob Shuter exclusively learned about whispers comparing Meghan Markle’s royal future to that of Sarah Ferguson. An insider alleged that they both “wanted the crown spotlight for themselves,” before asserting that it was “never going to happen.” The report argued that neither could outshine Princess Diana and Kate Middleton, despite initially stepping into the monarchy as new voices from the outside.
A courtier opined that the Duchess of York’s supposed downfall was more than “just money,” but also “the company she kept.” They then continued that Markle and Prince Harry’s “inner circle” has been under a similar kind of scrutiny. Moreover, the source alleged that Ferguson transitioned from “fun duchess to embarrassment,” and warned that “history could repeat itself” if the Duchess of Sussex remained on a similar path.
Reservations about Meghan Markle’s future reportedly stemmed from attempts to monetize her “royal brand” through deals. These include her and the duke’s agreement with Netflix, tell-all books, and her latest lifestyle venture, As Ever. The Sussexes have faced backlash ever since they decided to step down from their roles as senior royals, left the United Kingdom, and moved across the pond to settle down in California in 2020.
There has also been an alleged rift between Prince Harry and Prince William, as well as the rest of the royal family. However, earlier this year, the former expressed his desire to reconcile with King Charles, following which there were reports of ongoing talks concerning a reunion. The estranged father-son duo then finally met during Harry’s recent U.K. visit. However, the Duke of Sussex didn’t seemingly smooth things over with his brother.
