Meghan Markle’s Awkward Encounter with Andy Cohen Unveiled

Meghan Markle recently shared a hilarious anecdote about her encounters with television producer Andy Cohen on her now-defunct Spotify podcast series.

Despite being a huge fan of Andy's Real Housewives television empire, Meghan found herself in a rather awkward situation when Andy failed to recall their previous meetings.

The Duchess of Sussex reminisced about their first encounter, which took place before her stint on the hit legal drama Suits, and subsequent run-ins in New York after she joined the show.

During their chat, Andy greeted Meghan with a polite “nice to meet you,” unknowingly triggering a fit of giggles from Meghan as she reminded him of their past interactions.

Meghan playfully teased Andy about her failed attempts to secure a spot on his late-night talk show, Watch What Happens Live, confessing, “I just couldn't get booked, Andy.”

Andy, who produces Vanderpump Rules, appeared flustered upon realizing that he couldn't recall meeting the D-list actress, expressing disbelief at the missed opportunity.

Despite the embarrassing moment, Andy's team at Bravo suspected that Meghan might be a Housewives fan, leading to a humorous exchange between the two about potential missed opportunities.

Meghan, known for her candor, revealed that she had stopped watching the Housewives series due to the drama in her own life, acknowledging the shows' cultural impact while reflecting on her time in California watching The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Interestingly, Meghan's encounters with Hollywood A-listers seem to be forgettable, with many prominent actors unable to recollect working alongside her despite her small roles in various films.

A leading psychologist shed light on this phenomenon, attributing it to what they termed “Markle missing memory syndrome.”

The psychologist's approach to addressing this issue involves highlighting the significance of seemingly trivial details, emphasizing the selective nature of memory.

Prior to her high-profile relationship with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle navigated the entertainment industry as a relatively unknown figure, blending in among aspiring actors in Hollywood.

Her affinity for reality shows, often criticized for their artificiality, has raised eyebrows regarding her cultural awareness and tastes.

This scrutiny hints at a potential detachment from reality, contrasting with her later public image as a member of the British royal family.

Reflecting on the past, Andy Cohen might now view the missed opportunity with Meghan Markle in a different light, recognizing that perhaps his decision not to feature her on his show was for the best.

The evolution of Meghan's public persona, from a budding actress to a globally recognized figure, underscores the unpredictable nature of fame and the intricacies of celebrity interactions.
