In what's quickly become one of the juiciest (albeit unverified) royal gossip shocks of the year, Meghan Markle’s ex-husband, film producer Trevor Engelson, allegedly blew the lid off a long-buried party incident from Meghan’s "yacht girl" days. Engelson, who’s built a low-profile life of success post-divorce, is said to have shared the eyebrow-raising account during a private dinner — and word is, guests were left stunned.
According to sources who claim to have been present, Trevor leaned across the table and told a hush-hush crowd, “Back before Suits, before royal fascination, Meg spent wild weekends floating on parties where discretion cost as much as the captain’s tab.” The insinuation? Meghan skirted class lines, rubbing shoulders with the ultra-rich and navigating faded societal circles in ways that raised eyebrows.
One diner allegedly asked, “But Trevor… was she really a yacht girl?” To which he laughed and replied, “She played the part well — always dressed for a champagne toast at sea, effortlessly in control of the room.” He reportedly framed it as a story of survival in Hollywood’s spotlight, where glamor sometimes dances uncomfortably close to opportunism.
While intriguing, the story's credibility is shaky. There are no reputable sources—no media outlets, biographies, or firsthand accounts—that substantiate Trevor Engelson ever publicly discussing Meghan’s "yacht girl" lifestyle or recounting such an incident. Nor is there any verified interview or statement in which he uses that language or claims such context. The whispers appear to stem from rumor mills and speculative dinner conversations rather than sourced journalism.
Moreover, Meghan Markle’s early career included roles like a briefcase model on Deal or No Deal and a breakout part in Suits. There’s no factual indication she worked as a yacht hostess or engaged in what tabloids tease as “yacht girl” behavior. Royal biographers and reliable media have not documented such episodes—presenting instead a professional trajectory rooted in acting and charitable pursuits.
