Whilst discussing the Duchess of Sussex, writer Catherine Mayer explained to the Mail on Sunday: "Meghan's exit has been at least as noisy, and you don't have to look far to find echoes in history.
"Consider the following description: 'A commoner raised to royalty, she is a heroine to some, a hate figure to others. Her adherents trumpeted her potential to refresh the monarchy. Her enemies disparaged her as an interloper... Still the wedding went ahead – accounts differ on the number of ceremonies – but soon she was gone, her exit brutal.
"'Fans maintain that prejudice and plotting did for her. Critics hold her solely responsible for her own downfall.' If you assume this to be a description of Meghan, you're right – but here's the thing: the same details apply, word for word, to Anne Boleyn,” she added.
