Royal gossip circles went into overdrive this week after veteran royal biographer Angela Levin resurfaced a set of long-forgotten images allegedly linked to Meghan Markle’s “yacht girl” past — and the Duchess of Sussex is said to be fuming. The drama erupted on August 13 when Levin made cryptic online comments hinting at “photos that tell their own story,” followed hours later by a wave of social media chatter claiming the images had been quietly circulating among royal watchers. 🔥👀

The so-called “yacht girl” rumors have followed Meghan since before her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry, though she has always dismissed them as baseless and sexist attacks. But Levin’s sudden decision to stir the pot has set off a frenzy, with critics pouncing and supporters rallying to her defense. Those claiming to have seen the images describe them as “party shots” from a European summer in the early 2010s — long before Meghan met Harry — featuring glamorous dresses, champagne flutes, and a luxury boat backdrop.
According to palace insiders, Meghan, 43, is “beyond frustrated” that old gossip has been revived just as she and Harry are pushing ahead with new Netflix projects and charitable work through Archewell. “She’s tired of the smear campaigns,” one source close to the couple allegedly confided, adding that Meghan views this as another attempt to discredit her philanthropic image.
Harry, 40, is reportedly livid over the renewed whispers, privately telling friends that “digging up the past to hurt someone in the present says more about them than it does about her.” The couple’s allies argue that the images, even if authentic, show nothing inappropriate — just a young actress enjoying her life before royal duty.
Yet the online reaction has been fierce. Hashtags connected to the scandal have been trending for 48 hours, with royal commentators debating whether Levin’s move was a legitimate journalistic choice or a calculated attempt to provoke Meghan. Some suggest it’s part of a wider pattern of targeting the Duchess whenever her public profile begins to rise again. 📸💥
For now, Meghan has chosen not to address the controversy publicly, focusing instead on her upcoming media appearances. But with Levin doubling down in cryptic interviews, it’s clear this storm isn’t passing quietly — and the royal rumor mill is spinning faster than ever.
