A royal analyst has drawn striking parallels between the current dynamics involving the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the royal family, and the historical relationship between King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson.

The renowned abdication of Edward VIII in favor of marrying Wallis Simpson is a well-documented chapter in royal history.

In 2020, following the decision of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to step back from their roles as senior royals, they relocated to the United States in what became known as “Megxit.”

Mr. Quinn highlighted the resemblances between these two significant events, shedding light on the potential trajectory the Duke of Sussex might face.

Despite the couple’s new ventures, royal expert Tom Quinn expressed that there is mounting pressure on the Duke of Sussex to maintain ties with his family.

Speculations abound that he may yearn for reconciliation and a supportive role within the royal fold, mirroring the post-abdication life of Edward VIII.

Drawing another comparison to the tumultuous marriage of Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, which led to a constitutional crisis and the king’s abdication, Mr. Quinn alluded to the potential challenges the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could encounter.

Even after their high-profile move to the United States, concerns loom over their future path.

Mr. Quinn cautioned about the looming possibility of the Duke of Sussex feeling adrift, akin to Edward VIII’s sentiments when his relationship with Mrs. Simpson cooled.

As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex navigate the complexities of their marriage in the public eye, efforts to mend rifts within the royal family are anticipated.

In a bid to establish a balanced role within the royal sphere, the Duke of Sussex may strive to bridge gaps with his brother and secure a part-time royal status alongside the Duchess of Sussex.

However, experts suggest that such aspirations may remain unfulfilled, considering the intricate dynamics at play within the monarchy.

Unlike the historical precedent set by Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not mandated to seek the Queen’s approval for their return to the United Kingdom.

As the Duke of Sussex plans a visit to his homeland, interactions with the monarch are anticipated, albeit briefly, as reported by The Mirror.

In navigating the complexities of royal expectations and personal aspirations, the Duke of Sussex finds himself at a crossroads reminiscent of past royal dilemmas.
