Meghan Markle ‘nod to Wallis Simpson’ irked royal fans

Meghan Markle
  • Meghan made a subtle nod to the late Wallis Simpson during her wedding service.
  • The former Suits star was chauffeured in a Rolls-Royce Phantom IV on her wedding day.
  • The same car had been used for Simpson’s funeral 46 years before.

Meghan Markle made a subtle nod to the late Wallis Simpson, during her wedding service to Prince Harry in 2018.

Meghan married Prince Harry on May 19, 2018. Although the Duchess of Sussex’s wedding gown drew all the attention on the day, there was something else that piqued people’s interest.

Meghan chose this car to transport her to St George’s Chapel for the ceremony. However, this car had previously been used to transport another royal, Wallis Simpson, 46 years before.

In 1972, the late Duchess of Windsor rode in the same car as her husband, King Edward VIII, to his funeral. Simpson, like Meghan, was an American divorcee. Her marriage to Edward VIII triggered the abdication crisis of 1936.

Only a few fans noticed Prince Harry’s wife’s nod to Simpson on their wedding day. On her wedding day, the former Suits star and her mother Doria were chauffeured in a Rolls-Royce Phantom IV.

Aircraft engine maker Rolls-Royce picks new CEO

Rolls-Royce picks new CEO
  • Rolls-Royce appoints former BP executive Tufan Erginbilgic as the new chief executive.
  • He replaces Warren East, who is stepping down after eight years in the role.
  • Rolls axed 9,000 jobs and offloaded assets in drastic cost-cutting after the Covid pandemic.

British aircraft engine maker Rolls-Royce on Tuesday said it had chosen former BP executive Tufan Erginbilgic to replace long-serving chief executive Warren East.

Erginbilgic, a dual UK and Turkish national, replaces East from the start of 2023, Rolls said in a statement.

East is stepping down after a tumultuous eight years in the top role during which time he turned around performance and slashed thousands of jobs.

Rolls-Royce chair Anita Frew described Erginbilgic, 62, as “a proven leader of winning teams within complex multinational organisations”.

She said he had “an ability to drive a high-performance culture and deliver results for investors”.

Erginbilgic worked for more than 20 years at BP, including as head of its downstream unit.

He left the British energy major in 2020 and is currently a partner at private equity firm Global Infrastructure Partners.

East told AFP last week that he was “quite pleased” with his time at Rolls-Royce.

“We’ve put in place a lot of efficiency and productivity improvements,” he said on the sidelines of the Farnborough Airshow, adding that the engine maker’s focus was on decarbonisation of aviation.

The 60-year-old’s tenure was marked by corruption fines that pre-dated his arrival, as well as troubles with the company’s Trent family of engines.

Rolls, whose products power Airbus and Boeing aircraft, axed 9,000 jobs and offloaded assets in drastic cost-cutting after the Covid pandemic grounded jets and sparked a collapse in air traffic.

East guided the group back to profit in 2021 after the painful restructuring and Rolls has gone on to reap the benefits of aviation’s recovery and growth in government defence spending.

All-Electric Rolls Royce Plane set to take first flight

Electric Plane

Jaguar I-Pace electric cars will provide ground assistance as Rolls-Royce Holdings’ all-electric plane prepares to take its first flight in the coming weeks in a world-record attempt for flight speed. The carbon-neutral project will use zero-emission cars as towing and support vehicles.

In order to set a world record for the fastest all-electric plane, the aviation company’s ‘Spirit of Innovation’ all-electric aircraft is aiming for a speed of 300+ mph (480+ km/h) in its maiden flight. The plane uses the most power-dense battery pack ever manufactured for a plane to power its electric propulsion system, which produces 500+ horsepower. Rolls-Royce claims that the battery can power 250 houses at once or fly from London to Paris on a single charge.

Rolls-Royce said both the manufacturers are committed to reducing their carbon footprints, which is why it chose I-Pace electric cars as its ground support fleet. Since 2014, the airline has cut its greenhouse gas emissions in half and is on course to fulfill its 2030 goal of zero emissions from operations. Jaguar Land Rover, on the other hand, has set a goal of zero carbon emissions across its supply chain, products, and operations by 2039. “Rolls-Royce and Jaguar Land Rover are UK pioneers in their respective industries, focused on advancing electrical technology,” says Rob Watson, Director of Rolls-Royce Electrical.

The ‘Accelerating the Electrification of Flight’ (ACCEL) initiative developed the ‘Spirit of Innovation’ electric aircraft. YASA, an electric motor and Controller Company, and Electroflight, an aviation start-up, are two of the program’s key collaborators. The Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) of the United Kingdom, as well as the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and Innovate, have each contributed half of the project’s costs.
