Will The British Public Ever Accept Meghan Markle As Royal? Most People Don’t Think So

The “Degree” Wife

It’s not just Prince Philip who has been sceptical about Meghan Markle’s place in the royal family. According to The Sunday Times, a senior royal figure referred to her as “the degree wife,” alluding to the fact that it takes most British students three years to obtain a degree.

They used this nickname to imply that the couple’s marriage will “only last three years.” This wasn’t the first time that a royal insider has given Meghan Markle an unflattering nickname.
