Meghan Markle ‘noisy’ exit branded ‘heroic’ by author

Meghan Markle is compared to a scandalous Royal in the past in new book.

The Duchess of Sussex, who exited her position as a senior member of the royal family back in 2020, is compared to former Queen Consort Anne Boleyn.

Anne was reportedly executed over false charges of treason, adultery and incest.

Speaking about Meghan, author Catherine Mayer tells Mail on Sunday: "Meghan's exit has been at least as noisy, and you don't have to look far to find echoes in history.

"Consider the following description: 'A commoner raised to royalty, she is a heroine to some, a hate figure to others. Her adherents trumpeted her potential to refresh the monarchy. Her enemies disparaged her as an interloper... Still the wedding went ahead – accounts differ on the number of ceremonies – but soon she was gone, her exit brutal.

"'Fans maintain that prejudice and plotting did for her. Critics hold her solely responsible for her own downfall.' If you assume this to be a description of Meghan, you're right – but here's the thing: the same details apply, word for word, to Anne Boleyn,” she added.
