The Royal Wives of Windsor Synopsis
Only a generation ago either one of these factors could have been enough to prevent her marrying a royal. Meghan Markle’s very British welcome defines the current modernity of the monarchy, but it was the royal wives before who paved the way… What can she learn from their marriages?
Each royal wife a sign of her times, a mirror of our cultural history and a reflection of how the monarchy has re-invented itself. As a nation we’ve been enthralled by Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (Queen Mother), Wallis Simpson, Lady Diana Spencer, Sarah Ferguson, Camilla Parker-Bowles, Sophie Rhys Jones and Catherine Middleton.
All have faced judgement by the British public. Their fairy-tale weddings, scandals, fortitude, sense of duty and tragedy have shaped our nation. Now that Meghan is about to enter the monarchy, what can she expect from life as a royal wife?
