Megan Markle’s Journey to Royalty: From Actress to Socialite
In a surprising turn of events, Megan Markle, the now Duchess of Sussex, has captivated the world with her fairy-tale romance and entrance into the British royal family.
But before she met Prince Harry, Megan had a colorful dating history that helped pave her path to royalty.
After her divorce from Trevor Engelson, Megan found herself in the arms of celebrity Canadian chef Corey Vitiello in 2014.
Vitiello, the owner of Toronto's trendy eatery, The Harbour Room, introduced Megan to a higher class of society.
This new social circle included the son of a former Canadian Prime Minister and the global membership director of the elite private club, Soho House, Marcus Anderson.
It was through this relationship that Megan began her transformation from actress to socialite.
A source close to Megan revealed that this newfound status allowed her to make valuable connections and network with influential individuals.
She was now rubbing shoulders with the big dogs and their powerful influencer wives.
It was during this time that Megan met her now best friend, Jessica Mulroney.
Married to Ben Mulroney, the son of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Jessica comes from a wealthy family and is an heiress to the famous Canadian shoe line, Brown Shoes Inc. As a fashion designer, she even had the opportunity to design outfits for Sophie Trudeau, the wife of the Canadian Prime Minister.
However, not all was rosy in Megan's past.
According to a source, Megan had a reputation for being difficult to work with.
During her time on the set of “Suits,” she allegedly bullied her personal assistants and made unreasonable demands.
She would even deliberately forget people's names to assert her status.
Despite these claims, Megan managed to leverage her previous relationships and connections to propel herself forward.
It was at a social gathering in June 2016 that Megan and Corey attended where fate intervened.
Prince Harry was also present, and Megan managed to cast a spell over him while still living with her chef ex-boyfriend.
She had a plan to befriend well-connected Brits, including Harry's childhood friends.
One of them, Violet von Westenhoff, was working as a publicist for Ralph Lauren.
Megan convinced von Westenhoff to set her up on a blind date with the Queen's grandson.
According to author Tom Bauer, Megan's motivation for pursuing this relationship stemmed from familiar fears of loneliness and financial insecurity.
She wanted stability and security, and finding a husband seemed like the answer.
Before agreeing to the blind date, von Westenhoff even sent Harry photos of Megan.
Although Megan's relationship with Vitiello was coming to an end, they still shared a home together.
After Harry returned to London, Megan felt that a spell had been cast, sealing their relationship.
She ended things with Corey, fully believing that her future lay with the prince.
And as history shows, Megan's conviction was not in vain.
Megan Markle's journey from actress to socialite to royalty is a testament to her determination and resourcefulness.
She utilized her previous connections and relationships to open doors and create opportunities for herself.
And while some may question her motives, there is no denying that she has found love and happiness in her role as the Duchess of Sussex.
In the end, Megan's story serves as a reminder that sometimes, unexpected paths can lead to extraordinary destinations.
