Last week, Meghan Markle made an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, a move that seemed mutually beneficial—Drew, perhaps, in need of a ratings boost, and Meghan, always eager for another platform to share her well-worn narratives.
There she sat, eyes wide with feigned sincerity, spinning yet another tale about her supposedly profound past. This time, she miraculously remembered—after six long years—that she had once worked as a nanny. Not just a babysitter, mind you, but a noble caregiver, conveniently drawing yet another parallel between herself and the late Princess Diana. After all, every story she tells must, in some way, circle back to Diana. Originality, it seems, has never been her strong suit.
Of course, no Meghan anecdote would be complete without some sage wisdom from a conveniently placed mentor. This time, it came from the father of one of the children she once babysat. According to Meghan, this wise man told her, "When you meet ‘the one,’ make sure they always treat you like it’s still date night." A touching sentiment—except it sounds eerily familiar. That’s because she has trotted out this exact line multiple times before. It was her guiding principle when she dated a celebrity chef, a cherished piece of advice during her marriage to Trevor Engelson, and now, as if by magic, it has become the foundation of her relationship with Prince Harry. Funny how her past seems to shift and reshape itself to fit the latest chapter of her life.
Drew Barrymore, ever the professional, nodded along, likely wondering if daytime soap operas might have been a more believable gig. The audience, caught somewhere between polite enthusiasm and mild bewilderment, sat uncertain—was this a moment to applaud, chuckle, or simply pretend they hadn’t noticed the glaring inconsistencies?
But Meghan’s habit of recycling personal history isn’t just an occasional slip—it’s practically a hobby. With every new phase of her life, she seems to craft a fresh backstory, as if curating a new identity to match her latest romantic chapter. And who, one might wonder, was watching this spectacle with the greatest amusement? None other than Trevor Engelson, the man who, as history would have it, managed to exit stage left just in time. Unlike many others, Trevor has never spoken ill of his ex-wife, a level of restraint that alone should earn him sainthood. Yet, one can only imagine the eye-roll he must have given upon hearing Meghan’s latest revision of history. After all, he was there. He was the original “one” before she mailed back her wedding ring as if it were a return package from an online order.
Lucky doesn’t quite cover it—Trevor walked away before being caught in the whirlwind of emotional chaos that now surrounds Prince Harry. And speaking of Harry, his expressions say it all. The vacant stares, the awkward, forced smiles, the lingering aura of what have I done? This is a man who once lived in palaces and attended royal engagements, now reduced to unsuccessful jam-selling endeavors and clinging onto Meghan’s hand in public as if it were a lifeline.
At least, according to Meghan, they have lunch together every day—between her very important meetings, of course.
Ultimately, this episode of The Drew Barrymore Show was just another chapter in Meghan’s never-ending saga of reinvention. Whether it’s adopting a new name, retelling the same story with slight variations for different audiences, or inserting herself into narratives where she was never meant to be, the pattern remains the same. Meghan Markle will always ensure she is the center of attention, no matter how many contradictions she leaves in her wake.
As for Trevor? Let’s just say he’s the real winner in all of this. And Harry? Well, the world can see exactly who got the short end of that deal.
