The world was taken aback when news emerged that Meghan Markle, The Duchess of Sussex, had been secretly dating a new man—a high-profile former Brexit speechwriter for the UK government.
Pictures surfaced showing Meghan and this mysterious figure, Christian Jones, enjoying a cozy lunch date in London, with Jones appearing to take notes during their conversation. This bombshell revelation comes shortly after Meghan's recent date night with Prince Harry, which many Royal watchers had assumed signaled a happy and united couple. However, it seems there may be trouble in paradise for the Duke and Duchess. According to the latest rumors, this could just be the tip of the iceberg regarding the shocking secrets Meghan has been keeping from her husband.
A palace insider claims that Prince Harry is in a difficult spot and completely embarrassed by the news of Meghan's potential secret first husband. Whispers are swirling that before she married her first husband, film producer Trevor Engelson, Meghan may have already been briefly married to another man. This supposed first marriage was quickly annulled, and the records were swept clean. The source alleges that this early union was kept hidden from Engelson, Meghan's friends, and even her future in-laws in the royal family.
If true, this revelation would cast serious doubt on the integrity of Meghan's past. Prince Harry, who has always been open about his own troubled history, undoubtedly believed he was marrying a woman with a relatively straightforward romantic past. Now, he must be questioning just how much Meghan has been hiding from him. And the secrets may not stop there.
Royal biographer Duncan Larcombe has voiced concerns about the state of Harry and Meghan's marriage, noting the Duke's baffling behavior and Meghan's curious absence from key events. Larcombe points to Harry's recent appearance at a Texas rodeo as particularly puzzling, given it seemingly goes against Meghan's well-known animal rights beliefs. He also found Meghan's lack of attendance at the Super Bowl confusing, speculating that it could be a sign of deeper marital problems.
"From what I hear, Harry has cut out many of the people who ever loved him from his life—his family, his old school friends, the list goes on," Larcombe told Closer magazine. "I think one of the biggest signs of a relationship not going well is that one or both of you become very isolated from the friends and family who love you and who you grew up with. This is exactly what's happened with Harry since being with Meghan."
Larcombe went on to brand Harry's increasing isolation as worrying, suggesting it indicates things aren't going well in their marriage. If the experts are to be believed, it seems Meghan may have been keeping a lot more from Harry than just a potential first husband. The question is, how much more is there for the Duke to uncover, and will their relationship be able to withstand the fallout?
Only time will tell what other secrets Meghan has been harboring, but one thing is clear: the fairy tale romance between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may be about to take a very dark turn.
