Prince Andrew is embroiled in a huge scandal amid claims he leaked a racy video of Meghan Markle’s past. The footage, which was already a few years old but looks young and nubile even by those standards, captures a fresh-faced Meghan laughing and mingling with celebrities in the sun on board a glamorous yacht.
The shocking revelation has exploded online, causing a massive scandal and leaving everyone to wonder—how will Meghan counterpunch, and what does this mean for the creaky monarchy?
Insiders say the video started making the rounds on social media overnight, with Andrew’s name murmured as its origin. She is seen chatting and putting her arms across the shoulders of stars in footage recorded when Meghan was an actress at a sunny sea bash. “It is shameful and cruel,” a friend of Meghan said.
“She’s a mom now—why dig this up?” Andrew, who already had his own scandals to deal with, of course, has not denied it, but palace sources hit out at “a low blow from a desperate man.”
Fans are furious. MeghanYachtVideo is trending on social media. Some blast Andrew in the comments, writing, “He’s a bully—leave Meghan alone!” Others scorn her voice and say, “I mean, no wonder the royals are mad—she was always a party girl!”
The leak is less than ideal timing for the family, following scraps such as Camilla’s alleged claim about Harry’s parentage and Kate Middleton’s golden gown theft. Critics claim it is in revenge for Meghan’s guest drama at a palace event in Hollywood.
The royal family is apparently chomping at the bit with concern. “Then may it not be work for the women,” said the king, who is in ill health, “sick” at the mess.
Prince William and Queen Kate are seething but demure, worried it makes them look bad. Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, have yet to speak, but insiders claim she’s “raging” and ready to fight back.
Is this Andrew’s retribution, or something bigger? Between Harry’s book threats and family bombs like Doria’s confession, the monarchy looks even more rent asunder.
Fans are dying for Meghan to shut down the bullshit, but this yacht video makes it seem like a tidal wave is about to break over the Crown. We’re all waiting to see if she swims or sinks.
