Prince Harry's spouse, Meghan, might exude sophistication and elegance, but behind this polished image, insiders reveal a radically different picture. Palace sources suggest that the Duchess had been pursuing a strategic game of love, romancing an array of increasingly wealthy men until she landed the ultimate catch – a royal husband.
Simultaneously, the Duchess is reportedly trying to downplay her past as an attractive "briefcase model" on the TV game show Deal or No Deal. This comes after Meghan's comment on her Archetypes podcast, where she alleged that she was objectified during her stint on the show.
Her former TV colleagues and superiors have grown weary of these accusations and are now countering with a scandal they've termed "Bimbogate," highlighting what they perceive as her double standards. This comes with a side serving of criticism from Buckingham Palace insiders.
A top-ranking palace aide revealed, "Her incessant quest for the limelight is the reason these stories are surfacing. Despite her narrative of being mistreated by Hollywood, all she's done is shine a spotlight on the aspects of her past she'd prefer remained hidden."
Her past choices didn’t escape the scrutiny of the royal household when she first started dating Harry. The aide shared, "Her Hollywood persona and the nature of her earlier roles were met with some skepticism. Even Prince William tried to caution Harry to take things slow."
At 41, Meghan got her big break in the entertainment industry as a briefcase model on Deal or No Deal when she was 24, a role she now criticizes for its overemphasis on physical appearances over intellectual abilities.
Contrarily, Lucas Green, a former boss on the show, refutes claims of her being objectified. Claudia Jordan, a fellow model on the game show and star of Real Housewives of Atlanta, echoed this sentiment, adding, "The show offered us numerous opportunities and never demeaned us."
Vinay Menon, a well-known entertainment columnist, stated, "Meghan willingly auditioned for the show. It served as a stepping stone in her career. Without it, who knows where she would have ended up?"
Yet, the Duchess seems determined to detach herself from her past, shared a palace source. The source further added, "She might now cultivate an image of refinement as a Duchess, but her past paints a picture of someone who was inclined towards casual relationships and had a fondness for marijuana."
Additionally, insiders allege that Meghan was known for moving on from relationships when they ceased to aid her ascent to stardom. She allegedly broke off her first marriage by mail and ended a live-in relationship with celebrity chef Cory Vitiello to be with Harry.
"I've heard they even delved into her early 2000s partying days at Northwestern University when she supposedly had a fake ID and indulged in excessive eating and drinking. There were even rumors of a cosmetic surgery to resemble Princess Diana," the source added.
With her controversial past exposed, the royals are reportedly preparing for the possibility of history repeating itself with the Duchess setting her sights on a more influential figure once her royal charm fades.
