US academic activist says he is pleased at interest of Prince Harry’s fiancee in his workMeghan Markle could “shake up” the British monarchy, according to Noam Chomsky, the eminent linguistics professor and leftwing political activist, who is one of the actor’s favourite writers. Chomsky, 88, told the Guardian on Friday: “I’ve heard about the marriage, but didn’t know about Markle’s interests. Sounds as though she may, for many reasons, shake up the royal family.”Chomsky’s attitude to royalty is somewhat barbed. Asked by Prospect Magazine in 2011 if the monarchy was good for Britain, he quoted his philosopher friend Peter Slezak. “The way to understand Trump, I think, is pretty simple,” Chomsky said.
