As Netflix are running damage control on the controversy of Cuties, their latest recruitment Meghan Markle isn't doing much to help them maintain a wholesome image.

Meghan Markle’s a big fan of erotic fiction writer Anais Nin’s ‘explicit’ novels

When she started dating the royal in 2016, she used an email which featured a term which was a nod to the French author’s autobiographical novel The Four-Chambered Heart.

The book includes a threesome which is described as an “explosive amorous rendezvous”.

Meghan’s address included a reference to a quote from the female lead Djuna, who says to her married male lover, Rango: “I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.”

“A lot of Anais’ books are quite explicit but Meghan likes the arty way they are written.

“Anais is a feminist icon and Meghan found what she wrote very interesting and liberating.

“She used that email address for ages but I don’t think she ever thought anyone would realise what it was in relation to.”

Anais Nin wikipedia

In the third volume of her unexpurgated journal, Incest, she wrote about her father candidly and graphically (207–15), detailing his sexual abuse of her at age nine.

While visiting her estranged father in France, the then-thirty-year-old Nin had a brief incestuous sexual relationship with him.

In New York, Anaïs rejoined Otto Rank, who had previously moved there, and moved into his apartment. She actually began to act as a psychoanalyst herself, seeing patients in the room next to Rank's, and having sex with her patients on the psychoanalytic couch.[14] She quit after several months, however, stating: "I found that I wasn't good because I wasn't objective. I was haunted by my patients. I wanted to intercede."

Little Birds is Anaïs Nin's second published work of erotica. The sexual topics covered are quite varied, ranging from pedophilia to lesbianism

What a strange hero for Markle to have such an obsession with. She really does defy the prim and proper image of a lady she likes to put out to the world.
