HISTORY HAUNTS HARRY & MEGHAN

Duke & Duchess of Sussex doomed to become exiles Edward and Wallis

RENEGADE royals Prince Harry and Meghan are being described as the reincarnation of England’s “traitor King” Edward VIII and his gold-digging American wife, Wallis Simpson.

The similarities between the rogue couples are so great, many palace insiders say they seem like mirror images nearly 100 years apart!

At 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 11, 1936, Edward gave a radio broadcast from Windsor Castle that rocked Britain — and shocked the world — declaring he was giving up the throne to marry Wallis, who as a divorcée was officially off-limits, according to royal rules.

“I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love,” Edward declared.

“I now quit altogether public affairs, and I lay down my burden.”

Nearly 85 years later, Harry, 37, was stripped of his royal duties and snuck off to California with his American divorcée, Meghan.
