Rare is it when you have one person so perfectly embody a moment in history as you do Meghan Markle in 21st century America. Meghan Markle is gorgeous. She’s well-spoken. She’s famous. She’s rich.

And yet Edward VIII, when faced with a choice between the monarchy and the woman he loved, at least chose to abdicate rather than throw the British government into crisis.In the modern day, it is impossible to imagine Meghan Markle showing such grace or dignity. And so an uneven battle is pitched: Markle can appear on television and claim anything she wants, her account accepted uncritically by Oprah Winfrey and most of the American public,...

Conservative commentator Candace Owens has lashed out at Meghan Markle during an interview with Sean Hannity Wednesday night, describing the Duchess as a 'liar' and a 'narcissist'.

Owens also claimed that Meghan's insinuation that her son, Archie, was not offered a title because of his skin tone was also untrue. 'If...
