Royal biographer Tom Bower has once again rattled the Sussex camp with fresh claims that have sent shockwaves through both royal watchers and Meghan Markle’s critics. Known for his no-holds-barred investigations into the monarchy, Bower recently suggested that yet another “mysterious secret” from Meghan’s past is about to come to light—one that ties into the long-circulated “Yacht Girl” rumors she has battled for years.

While Bower stopped short of presenting full evidence, his hints were enough to stir public intrigue. He suggested that Meghan’s carefully curated image of humanitarian work and resilience hides a far more complicated history, one that includes high-society connections and encounters that the Duchess would prefer remain buried. According to Bower, “there are layers to Meghan’s past that have never been explored fully, and when they are, the narrative she’s built may not stand.”
For Meghan, the implications are explosive. Sources close to her claim she was “enraged” by the suggestion, furious that old gossip is being repackaged as fresh revelations. After years of positioning herself as a victim of media cruelty, this resurfacing narrative threatens to undo much of her work in rebranding.
The public, meanwhile, remains divided. Critics say Bower is only confirming what many have long suspected, while Meghan’s defenders argue these claims are baseless character assassinations designed to humiliate her. Social media lit up instantly, with debates raging over whether Bower has solid evidence or if his remarks are simply another chapter in his ongoing feud with the Sussexes.
Regardless of the truth, one thing is certain: Meghan’s past continues to haunt her present. And as long as voices like Tom Bower keep teasing more secrets, the Duchess may find it impossible to fully escape the shadow of the “Yacht Girl” label.
