In 2002, rumors emerged about a secret affair between Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew.
The story centers around an alleged encounter aboard a yacht sailing through the sun-drenched waters of France. According to reports, long before she became the Duchess of Sussex and married Prince Harry, Meghan was allegedly involved in a covert affair with Prince Andrew. The tale paints Meghan not just as a guest but as a so-called "yacht girl," a term laden with implications of women offering companionship to wealthy men aboard luxurious yachts.
This narrative portrays Meghan in a revealing white bikini, spending three days with Prince Andrew in a private cabin below deck, where they reportedly indulged in lavish food, drinks, and romantic escapades.
The story takes a dramatic turn with the introduction of an Australian backpacker, identified only as "Bob," who claims to have been present during the supposed affair. Bob describes Meghan and Andrew as arrogant and ostentatious, with Meghan allegedly boasting about her aspirations to become the first female president of the United States. Such declarations only add to the image of Meghan as a figure of ambition and self-importance. According to the tale, Meghan sought to maintain contact with Prince Andrew following their tryst, a pursuit that was ultimately unsuccessful.
Adding a darker twist, the narrative suggests that Meghan may have become pregnant as a result of the encounter and subsequently terminated the pregnancy. The account further implies that Meghan's attempts to reconnect with Prince Andrew were futile, leading to her disillusionment with royal connections and her quest for public prominence. Chuda, the source of these allegations, claims that Meghan's failure to rekindle her relationship with Andrew significantly influenced her later pursuit of royal ties and fame.
In summarizing Chuda's claims, it is alleged that Meghan attached herself to Prince Andrew during his VIP visit to the yacht in February 2002. The pair are said to have disappeared below deck for an extended period, with Meghan reportedly bragging about her conquest of a prince. The story takes a tragic turn with claims that Meghan, after being ignored by Andrew, had an abortion and later contracted a sexually transmitted disease from another partner, which ultimately required her to undergo a hysterectomy in April 2002.
While Chuda emphasizes that these claims are based on hearsay and should be approached with caution, he insinuates that the behavior described is consistent with traits commonly associated with narcissism. The timeline of events in the story aligns with some known facts from Meghan's life. For example, Meghan had a minor role as a nurse on the soap opera General Hospital in 2002, and the Queen Mother's death in March 2002 is a well-documented historical fact. Additionally, Meghan was a student at Northwestern University until 2003, which suggests she may have taken a brief hiatus for her acting work.
The plausibility of the narrative is further complicated by the fact that Meghan was romantically involved with a wealthy Argentine businessman that same summer, adding another layer to an already eventful year. However, the sensational nature of these claims invites skepticism. If Meghan's alleged past with Prince Andrew were true, it raises questions about why this information wasn't used against her during her later conflicts with the royal family. The fact that Meghan has never publicly criticized Prince Andrew adds another layer of doubt about the veracity of these allegations.
