You might recognize Megan as the former actress, royal, or even Prince Harry's wife, but did you know that before all of that, she had a mysterious gig connecting her to a famous hotspot in West Hollywood? Buckle up because we're about to spill the tea.
Picture this: It's the early 2010s, and Megan Markle is navigating the bustling streets of West Hollywood. However, she's not auditioning for roles or attending glamorous events; instead, she's working as a hostess at a restaurant. Now, here's where it gets interesting.
Right around the corner from Megan's workplace, the very first Soho House opens its doors. For those not in the know, Soho House is more than just a swanky members-only club; it's a place where creatives, influencers, and A-listers gather to wine, dine, and network.
Yes, it includes a restaurant—a place to see and be seen. But wait, there's more. In the early days, Megan's friend Nikki Pretty spills the beans, releasing never-before-seen photos of Megan in the Soho House photo bio. These snapshots take us back to 2010, way before Megan became Rachel Zane on "Suits" in Toronto. It's like a time capsule of her pre-royal life.
Now, let's pivot to another player in this story—the notorious ex-producer Harvey Weinstein. He has a history with Soho House, from London to Cannes to New York. Weinstein was practically a Soho House regular, hosting events, private screenings, and rubbing elbows with the glitterati. While Megan never achieved prominence as an actress on "Suits," she did have mutual contacts with notorious media tycoon Harvey Weinstein, via the New York Soho House. They also have a few more links in common.
But here's where it gets juicy. In a trailer for one of the Weinstein documentaries, eagle-eyed viewers spot someone in the background who bears a striking resemblance to Megan Markle. Could it be her? Could our Duchess have once waited tables or hosted events at Soho House? It's a tantalizing possibility. In her 20s, Markle was reportedly part of a group of young actresses who frequently attended Weinstein's parties and stayed until the late hours. It's claimed that Markle secured a role as an extra in the film "Horrible Bosses," starring Jennifer Aniston, after her involvement with Weinstein.
In response to these rumors, various opinions emerged on social media. Some expressed disgust at the idea of sleeping with Weinstein, questioning the different interpretations of feminism. They questioned how exchanging sexual favors for acting roles could be considered a feminist act or an expression of agency, as Markle often advocates for.
Another commentary stated that such behavior was to be expected from Markle, perceived as a fame seeker who wouldn't hesitate to engage in casting couch practices. Moreover, a photo from 2006 captured Weinstein, Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell at Princess Beatrice's 18th birthday party, reportedly invited by Prince Andrew. These ties to Weinstein and Epstein further strengthened the association between Markle and Weinstein.
While Markle's direct involvement with Weinstein remains unconfirmed, her past visits to the New York Soho House have raised questions. It seems that Markle frequented the venue alongside her close friends Marcus Anderson and Misha Nonu, implying that she may not have held an official membership but rather attended as a guest. In terms of Weinstein connections, it's worth mentioning that Markle's ex-boyfriend Cory Vitiello has been linked to the Toronto branch of Soho House, where Weinstein was also mentioned during its opening night.
Additionally, Markle had ties to Georgina Chapman, Weinstein's former wife, and Karen Craig, the founder of the fashion label M Chaser. Although it's unclear if Markle ever wore the brand, these connections raise questions about the extent of Markle's knowledge of Weinstein's actions and her potential influence over Prince Andrew, given her relationship with his daughter, Princess Eugenie.
