All the craziest revelations from the new Meghan Markle biography
The new book makes some interesting claims, especially about Markle's previous marriage
While much has been said of Meghan Markle's past (especially by her estranged half-siblings and relatives), Andrew Morton, a Princess Diana biographer, has compiled the most extensive set of claims for his Markle biography, Meghan: A Hollywood Princess. The book is out April 17, but The Times published an excerpt with some of the craziest material. Here are some of the wildest claims:Meghan Markle completely idolized Princess Diana. At 16, she "watched the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, tears coursing down cheeks at the poignant moment when the cameras zoomed in on the royal coffin." To Markle, Diana was her role model, "not just for her style but also for her independent humanitarian mission." Markle went to Little Red School House (a preschool through age six school) with Scarlett Johansson. Markle was enrolled at 2 at the "an exclusive institution favored by the sons and daughters of LA바카라 게임 웹사이트s showbiz elite," as Morton put it. She was involved in theater and shared the lead role in How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Johansson was in the chorus of the production.Markle was very much a theater kid in school and also homecoming queen. She played the secretary in her school's production of Annie in 1996. She made homecoming court in 1998. A photo of that night has already surfaced:Markle went wild away from home at Northwestern University. "Now that she wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트t under the watchful gaze of her mother, she started wearing heavier make-up and experimented with highlighting her hair," Morton wrote. "She also packed on a 'freshman 15', weight gained from drinking, munching starchy dorm food and making late-night trips to the 24-hour Burger King."Markle was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority (and ultimately its recruitment chair), "which was full of girls who were considered 'intelligent hot messes,'" according to Morton. Markle's first "chiseled" basketball player college boyfriend made her sorority friends jealous. "Normally, she went for well-dressed Latin boyfriends, but at Northwestern her first boyfriend was Steve, a chiseled, white 6ft 5in basketball player from Ohio," Morton wrote. "Her KKG sorority sisters were 'impressed she바카라 게임 웹사이트d snared a hottie'. 'They made quite the pair,' recalls a former classmate. But the relationship was short-lived. Steve was committed to his sporting ambitions, while Meghan was a party animal who enjoyed staying out late."Markle interned at the American embassy in Buenos Aires and almost pursued a career in the State Department. She took the three-hour foreign service officer test while in Argentina and failed.Markle met her first husband Trevor Engelson in a West Hollywood dive bar back when she was an up-and-coming actress living a "scratchy hand-to-mouth existence." His pickup line to Markle, per Morton, was "hope is the greatest currency we have in this business."The success of Suits changed Markle and in part led to the end of her marriage. The two were engaged in 2010 when she started shooting the first season in New York, and when they wed in Jamaica, she knew the show had been picked up for a second season. The long distance between them (Engelson in Los Angeles, Markle in Toronto) made "cracks" appear in their marriage. "What once endeared now irritated," Morton wrote. "A self-confessed perfectionist, Meghan had tolerated Trevor바카라 게임 웹사이트s scattered approach to life for years."Markle allegedly ended her marriage to Engelson so abruptly, that he can barely contain his anger five years later. . 바카라 게임 웹사이트I have zero to say about her,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Engelson is reported to have said to those asking. "A wealthy entrepreneur friend claimed...Meghan sent her wedding and engagement rings back to Trevor by registered post," Morton wrote. "Another confirmed that the decision to end the marriage was made by Meghan and that it had come 'totally out of the blue.'"At the height of her fame, Markle charged upwards of $20,000 for an appearance.Markle and Harry's first trip to Botswana just weeks after meeting raised eyebrows inside the palace since Harry had already taken three other girls on African safaris. "Those who monitor these things would have noted that this was his seventh holiday in Botswana with the fourth female companion to join him," Morton wrote.Markle rehearsed tea etiquette in Los Angeles before meeting with The Queen in November 2017. "A few months before, she had made secret excursions to Rose Tree Cottage, a little slice of England in the suburbs of LA," Morton wrote. "It sells a plethora of British goodies, but the centerpiece of the emporium is the serving of afternoon tea. Meghan was there not only to buy gifts, but also, perhaps, for a rehearsal. It is where she learnt to crook her finger as she held her cup and saucer and sipped her earl grey."Read the full Times excerpt here.For more on Markle's previous marriage, watch the video above.
