Royal biographer Tom Bower has never shied away from controversial revelations, but his latest remarks about Meghan Markle have reignited debate and stirred up yet another storm. During a recent discussion, Bower hinted at what he called “another mysterious secret” surrounding Meghan’s early years, one that he claims ties back to her so-called “Yacht Girl” days—a rumor that has long hovered around her name but has never been officially confirmed.
According to Bower, Meghan’s ambitions and early networking strategies played a far bigger role in her rise to fame than many previously believed. He suggested that there were private gatherings and high-profile introductions in her past that shaped her trajectory toward Hollywood and, eventually, the British royal family. While he stopped short of releasing detailed evidence, his insinuations were enough to trigger a media frenzy.
Reports suggest Meghan was “enraged” by the renewed speculation. After years of trying to reframe her public image as a humanitarian and advocate, Bower’s claims risk dragging her back into an old narrative she has consistently tried to shut down. “For Meghan, this isn’t just about gossip,” one insider noted. “It’s about protecting her credibility and her children’s future.”
The public response has been split. Supporters of Meghan have condemned Bower for recycling unproven stories designed to humiliate her, while critics argue that his remarks simply add to a growing pattern of uncomfortable questions she has yet to answer.
For now, Buckingham Palace has remained silent, refusing to be drawn into yet another Sussex-related controversy. But with Bower teasing that “more is still to come,” the Duchess of Sussex may once again find herself fighting to control the narrative of her own past.
