Meghan Markle's struggle mirrors Sarah Ferguson's painful past?
Inside the resemblance between Sara Ferguson and Meghan Markle's life
It appears as though history is repeating itself within the British monarchy this time with Meghan Markle actually following a very similar route as Sarah Ferguson the Duchess of the York had undertaken.
According to The Mirror, royal insiders are unable to resist making comparisons between the turbulent nature of Meghan leaving her royal lifestyle and the equally dramatic fall out that Arthur Fergie experienced with the Firm in the 1990s.
The two women were first praised as having introduced warmth and modern energy in the royal fold but then were subject to unending tabloid attacks, scrutiny of the people and later isolated.
As it is said in Daily Mail, like Sarah, the 44-year-old entered the royal arena as a foreigner, alluring, outspoken, and intent to reinvent her personality.
Nevertheless, her readiness to break the traditions of the royalty and talk about personal challenges did not escape the same reproach as it had been directed at Ferguson several decades ago.
As the 65-year-old was demonized due to her financial troubles and scandalous interviews, Meghan has been repeating her rebellious spirit through her open-up to Oprah Winfrey and her constant conflict with the senior royalties.
The two women ended up finding independence beyond the palace walls - to the media, publishing and philanthropy to reassert their voices.
According to Royal biographers, the two experienced emotional backlash, poor family relationships and negative media.
Nevertheless, their strength cannot be doubted. According to Express UK, to this day, Ferguson is said to empathize with Meghan and feel lonely and under pressure of breaking royal molds.
Ultimately, the two women might have liberated themselves outside the walls of the palace building - and it turns out that the freedom can be both expensive and on the price of royal favour.
