Duchess Meghan could have achieved a lot for the British royal family, says the wife of Hollywood star Joshua Jackson.

Jodie Turner-Smith, 34, is causing a sensation in England: She is the first woman of color to slip into the role of the king’s wife Anne Boleyn. The three-part series is broadcast on “Channel 5”.

Words of warning in the direction of the palace

She would not call herself a supporter of the royal family, admits the mother of a daughter in an interview with the British newspaper “The Telegraph”. She pauses and chooses her words carefully. “I find it interesting that the institution does not move with the times or change fast enough. We have to look at things in a modern context. And only then will we recognize that certain things are archaic and do not really serve us as a community and limit ourselves. I think we should keep these things in stories and move on to something else in reality. “

Duchess Meghan could have made a difference.

Does she see the Duchess of Sussex as someone who could have modernized the British monarchy? “I think it could have been Meghan,” replies Jodie Turner-Smith. “It was a terribly missed opportunity. The way it was [ihr] was not allowed to be something that really modernized this institution and changed it for something better. “

Much praise and criticism for Jodie Turner-Smith

Her portrayal of Anne Boleyn, who was Henry VIII’s second wife from 1533 to 1536 and was beheaded for alleged adultery, divides the audience. She understands that, says the wife of Hollywood star Joshua Jackson and explains: “But it was an opportunity for me to develop my individual identity [in den Charakter] and reduce it to a human story as opposed to a story that is about white or class. It is a story that I can tell and that I am allowed to tell. I think it’s time for all of us to have equal opportunities. “
