Harry Mandel Reveals Surprising Revelation About Meghan Markle

Harry Mandel, the renowned comedian and actor known for hosting the popular game show “Deal or No Deal,” recently made a startling confession regarding his memory of Meghan Markle.

Despite Meghan's rise to fame as the Duchess of Sussex following her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018, Mandel admitted on the Good Guys podcast that he had no recollection of her from their time together on the show.

During the podcast episode, Mandel was asked if he stayed in touch with Meghan Markle, to which he responded candidly, “No.”

He went on to express his genuine surprise upon learning about her royal status, questioning, “When I heard that she was on Deal or No Deal, I didn't remember her.”

Mandel confessed that although he had a picture of her in his office standing behind him, he struggled to recall many details about her, citing the sheer number of models on the show.

This revelation from Mandel comes in stark contrast to Meghan Markle's own reflections on her experience as a briefcase model on “Deal or No Deal” back in 2006.

Meghan, who held briefcase number 24 before her acting career took off with the hit series “Suits,” opened up about feeling objectified during her time on the show.

In a recent podcast interview titled “Breaking Down the Bimbo,” Meghan shared her discomfort with being reduced to mere looks rather than recognized for her intellect and capabilities.

Recalling her days as a college intern at the U.S. Embassy in Argentina, where her intelligence was valued, Meghan expressed her frustration with the superficial expectations placed on the models on the game show.

She revealed how women were expected to conform to a narrow standard of beauty, undergoing cosmetic enhancements and adhering to strict appearance guidelines that prioritized aesthetics over substance.

Meghan Markle's candid account of her time on “Deal or No Deal” has sparked debate among industry insiders, with Lucas Green, the chief content officer at Bunny J, defending the show's ethos of adapting to contemporary standards.

Green emphasized the efforts made to update the format and ensure inclusivity and relevance in line with evolving societal norms.

However, not everyone shares Green's perspective, as model Donna Feldman, who also appeared on the show, criticized Meghan's assertions, highlighting the personal responsibility of individuals in navigating such environments.

Feldman emphasized the importance of leveraging one's skills, personality, and work ethic to succeed, rather than solely relying on external perceptions of physical appearance.

In light of these differing viewpoints, the discourse surrounding Meghan Markle's revelations has underscored broader conversations about representation, empowerment, and self-worth in the entertainment industry.

While some defend the traditional standards upheld by shows like “Deal or No Deal,” others advocate for a more nuanced approach that values individuals for their diverse talents and contributions beyond surface-level attributes.
