A recent photograph has stirred the pot, reigniting old rumors about Meghan Markle and her connection to Prince Harry.
This photo, taken at Glastonbury in 2013, shows Meghan cozied up with Tom Inskip—Harry’s best friend, affectionately known as Skippy.
Speculation is rife that Inskip may have introduced Meghan to Harry, raising eyebrows and fueling conspiracy theories about her past as a so-called “yacht girl.”
Social media has erupted with claims that Tom met Meghan before Harry did, casting doubt on the legitimacy of their relationship from the start.
Allegations suggest that Inskip’s initial skepticism about Meghan may have led to his eventual removal from Harry’s close circle.
The Glastonbury festival was a significant event for all involved, as Harry attended with his then-girlfriend, Chrissie de Bonas.
From the very beginning, Meghan’s presence seemed to clash with the expectations of Harry’s old Etonian friends.
According to Tom Bower’s book, “Revenge – Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors,” Meghan’s introduction to Harry’s social circle during a shooting weekend at Sandringham was anything but smooth.
Instead of blending in, she challenged her companions on various sensitive topics like sexism, feminism, and transgender rights.
The atmosphere at Sandringham, usually filled with laughter and camaraderie, took a turn when Meghan asserted her values without reservation.
Her serious demeanor and lack of humor left Harry’s friends feeling uneasy, leading them to label her a “dampener” on the festivities.
They had expected a light-hearted weekend filled with banter, but Meghan’s forthrightness changed the tone entirely.
As the weekend progressed, it became clear that Meghan’s approach to conversation was not what Harry’s friends anticipated.
While they indulged in jokes that often crossed lines, Meghan was quick to challenge anyone whose words contradicted her beliefs.
By the end of the gathering, texts were buzzing between cars, with friends expressing their concerns.
One message read, “My god, what about her?” Another added, “Harry must be nuts.”
The tension didn’t ease during a trip to Jamaica in 2017 for Tom’s wedding.
Bower notes that Meghan’s behavior reinforced her “princessy” reputation, particularly when she arrived in a private jet while Harry flew economy.
This stark contrast set the stage for further friction among Harry’s inner circle, as Meghan’s reluctance to engage with his friends only deepened the divide.
Omid Scobie and Caroline Durand’s biography, “Finding Freedom,” sheds more light on the fallout between Inskip and Harry post-wedding.
Inskip reportedly felt sidelined and hurt by the rapid pace of Harry’s relationship with Meghan.
He questioned whether they should live together before getting married, a sentiment that did not sit well with Harry.
The tension culminated in Inskip’s exclusion from the evening reception at Harry and Meghan’s wedding.
His concerns, though seemingly well-intentioned, reflected a broader unease among Harry’s friends about the changes they perceived in him since meeting Meghan.
During a brunch, Inskip openly lamented about losing his friend to Meghan’s influence, expressing disappointment over how fundamentally altered Harry had become.
It appears that the dynamics between Harry, Meghan, and his old friends have been fraught with misunderstandings and unmet expectations.
