In a shocking revelation, new insights from Tom Bauer’s book, “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors,” have surfaced, detailing an intriguing flirtation between Meghan Markle and golf champion Rory McIlroy.
This unexpected connection allegedly led to tensions in Markle’s relationship with her then-boyfriend, chef Corey Vitiello, who was left questioning her fidelity.
The saga began back in August 2014 when McIlroy, fresh off his Open Championship win, found himself in a rather unexpected situation.
He had nominated Markle for the Ice Bucket Challenge, and she insisted on a personal ice-dumping at her friend’s New York City apartment.
Their encounter sparked rumors and speculation, particularly since McIlroy had just ended his engagement with Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki.
After their Ice Bucket Challenge video went viral, raising funds for motor neuron disease research, McIlroy and Markle shared drinks at the Fitzpatrick Hotel.
The hotel’s owner, John Fitzpatrick, noticed the duo and invited them to join him and his friends for dinner at Cipriani.
The night turned into quite the adventure for McIlroy, who, despite being exhausted, opted to drive back to New York after a long night instead of resting near the golf course.
However, this late-night escapade took a toll on McIlroy’s performance at Ridgewood Country Club the following day.
Reflecting on the experience, he admitted, “I wasn’t quite on my game.
I was busy enjoying myself.” Meanwhile, back in Toronto, Vitiello was growing increasingly suspicious of Markle’s close friendship with the golfer.
Markle, who was starring in “Suits” at the time, seemed eager to leverage her relationship with McIlroy for personal gain.
According to Bauer, she encouraged media outlets to publish photos of them together, hinting at her desire to remain in the spotlight.
When Vitiello confronted her about the nature of her relationship with McIlroy, Markle assured him that nothing inappropriate had occurred, and he believed her.
As the year progressed, Markle used her connections to secure a speaking engagement at the One Young World Conference in Dublin.
Excited about the trip, she reached out to an Irish friend of McIlroy, indicating her plans to be in town.
Interestingly, she and Vitiello flew to Dublin on a private jet, reportedly paid for by McIlroy.
On October 17th, Markle and McIlroy were spotted dining together at the upscale restaurant Fade Street Social in Dublin.
Observers noted her infatuation with the golfer, which only intensified Vitiello’s suspicions.
Once again, he confronted Markle, asking if there had been an affair.
She firmly denied any wrongdoing, insisting they were merely friends.
Meanwhile, in a separate but equally dramatic development, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced backlash over claims made against Prince William.
Royal biographer Angela Levin recently commented on their allegations, suggesting that such accusations have tarnished the Sussexes’ reputation.
During a conversation with talk TV host Mike Graham, Levin stated that calling someone a liar and labeling them a bully is akin to childish behavior, dismissing the claims as “nonsense.”
This series of events raises questions about the dynamics within Markle’s relationships and the impact of her high-profile friendships.
As new details emerge, it seems the complexities of her past continue to haunt her present, leaving fans and critics alike eager for more revelations.
