Wallis: Here, Hold My Beer -- Is Meghan The New Wallis? -- Tatler -- US -- September 24, 2020

 See this post.

A reader's comments:

#1 - Meghan isn't in that class - never will be.

#2 - Harry doesn't have anywhere near as much money as Edward.
  • So - that enormous sapphire and diamond brooch that you see on Wallis' shoulder in the last photo (with QEII and Prince Charles) .... that ain't gonna happen for MM.
  • So - that exquisitely panelled room where you see Wallis and Edward "at home" ----- that was their home in France.  Wallis had exquisite taste and was known for being the most gracious hostess.  Every comfort was provided for every guest.  The decor and menus were legendary and the doggies were doted on.  Terribly British.  On the other hand, MM and Harry can't set that scene in LA.  Their house, friends, and lifestyle are reminiscent of some former basketball player who's not yet landed a tennis shoe endorsement.
#3 - Wallis observed decorum and protocol.  She knew the rules.  MM probably doesn't know the rules, but definitely thinks they don't apply to her.
  • Each lady was twice divorced before marrying a Brit Royal.  Wallis had the class to wear a lovely pale blue suit and marry at a very small, private ceremony.  M, on the other hand, wore a white gown and a veil - inconsistent, inconceivable and in poor taste..... televised poor taste. 
#4 - Wallis was largely silent.  She maintained a consistent image and a great deal of mystery.  
OMG - Meghan tries to play the ingenue.  No lady - nearly 40 years old - has had more photos published of holding her tummy as though the pregnancy were a surprise.  More distressingly, Meghan has "causes" and wants to share.  She wouldn't know "mystery" if it were proclaimed by Agatha Christie herself.
