Ingrid Seward, a renowned royal expert, has recently released her latest book, "My Mother and I," which challenges some commonly held beliefs about Prince Charles and sheds light on the dynamics within the royal family. The book delves into various aspects, including Prince Charles' experience at Gordonstoun School, the late Duke of Edinburgh's opinion of Meghan Markle, and the Queen's views on certain wedding traditions. Let's explore some of the intriguing revelations from Seward's book.
Contrary to popular belief, Seward claims that Prince Charles did not despise Gordonstoun School, as often portrayed. She recounts a conversation she had with the Prince of Wales, where he stated that Gordonstoun taught him independence and was not brutal, just basic. However, it is worth noting that Prince Charles chose not to send his own sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, to Gordonstoun, instead opting for Eton. This decision suggests that while he may have recognized the value of his own experience, he did not necessarily enjoy his time there.
Another captivating revelation from the book involves the late Duke of Edinburgh's nickname for Meghan Markle, the D.O.W., which stood for the Duchess of Windsor, Wallis Simpson. This reference alluded to the controversial relationship between Simpson and Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne to be with her. Seward suggests that the Duke of Edinburgh may not have entirely approved of Prince Harry's choice of partner, as he used this nickname. While Meghan Markle had only been divorced once, the Duchess of Windsor was seen as the catalyst for significant turmoil within the royal family.
