The doomed, scandalous marriage of the ginger haired Duke of Sussex and his older bride:No,(trunc)

The Duchess of Sussex was pregnant when she stood in front of the altar. And she was in love — not with her husband-to-be but her cousin.

No, not Meghan, obviously — but the last woman to bear the title Duchess of Sussex.

More than 200 years ago, a red-headed royal prince fell in love with a dark-haired older woman. What followed was a web of love, lies, deceit and royal disgrace which was to last 40 years.

She was Lady Augusta Murray, daughter of the Earl of Dunmore. He was Prince Augustus Frederick, sixth son of 'mad' King George III — and soon to be made the first Duke of Sussex.

The complicated love-triangle they were to embark on was to wreck the lives of the Duke, his wife and her cousin. So let's hope it sets no precedent for Harry and Megs!

The OTHER Duke of Sussex included a red head, older dark haired woman, and an Archibald scandal. I wonder if Markle knew about this. She had to have known about it.

[Veto!]

Me-again plays all the angles. You can count on it.

[RummyChick]

I just can’t get over Markle actually naming this kid after a cat who was named after a comic book AND a former lover of the previous Duchess of Sussex.

Waiting to see how long stiff upper lipped Brits remember that part of their history.

She was Lady Augusta Murray, daughter of the Earl of Dunmore.

The last Royal governor of Virginia.

At least he wasn't name Mohammed...although I bet that name was considered.

This article makes me more deeply grateful for those who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor that we might break free from those tyrants.

And in time become happy thought-slaves to Google, Facebook, our benevolent federal government and just about any pizza-faced kid with a badge and a blue shirt on who wants to strip search us at will. I'd trade 'em all for King George. Now, sadly, the enemy is us.

It is quite a remarkable thing to see the beginnings of our county.

In Texas a few townspeople fought off Mexican soldiers who wanted their cannon back. Pride, foolishness, bravery of a few people lead to the beginning of the independence of Texas.

I think we can fill the universe with what she DOESN’T know

[nopardons]

Sparkles is a bloody moron and knows NO English history, NONE AT ALL, pre-Diana...and very little of it during and after Di died!

[RummyChick]

Yes, but there are plenty of people there that know the history of the Duke of Sussex...especially given that name hasn’t been used.

And surely The Queen knows her history.

Such an odd confluence of history showing itself again in this version of the Duke of Sussex.

I suspect it will end as badly.

“Archie’’ is also what British fighter and bomber pilots used to call anti-aircraft fire during the wars. They can call him “Ack Ack’’.

[bigbob]

As, I suspect, was Edith.

[RummyChick]

That has a nice history for a name and would have been plausible .

Except someone has outed that she named it after a cat and a comic.

[BlueLancer]

They can call him “Ack Ack’’.

[nopardons]

Yes, you're absolutely 100% correct about it all!

Nope...shan't end well.

QE II was probably trolling MeAgain and Prince Dimwit with the Duke of Sussex title, and they are trolling her back with “Archie.”

[jmacusa]

There ya go! Bloom County!
