There’s an absolutely explosive story to break down for you all today, involving Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and music mogul Simon Cowell. According to recent leaks from singer Sita, there may have been a secret affair between Meghan and Simon earlier, which could be the real reason behind Harry threatening divorce.
Meghan Markle married Prince Harry in 2018, which shocked the world. However, some critics have always claimed Meghan seemed more interested in fame than duty, with rumors swirling that she married Harry for status. Meanwhile, Simon Cowell is one of the most famous music executives globally, thanks to shows like *The X Factor* and *America’s Got Talent*. Known for his blunt personality, he has never been shy about his playboy lifestyle.
It’s important to note that back in the mid-2000s, before she met Harry, Meghan was actually good friends with Simon’s then-girlfriend, Sita. The three would hang out socially a lot in London whenever Meghan visited from America while filming *Suits*. Some sources even claimed Meghan had aspirations of breaking into the music industry through Simon’s connections at that time.
Fast forward to this month, Sita did a tell-all radio interview where she apparently spilled some major tea about Meghan’s past, leaving many questioning the state of Harry and Meghan’s marriage. During the chat, Sita offhandedly mentioned how Meghan used to have a thing for Simon back in the day. Naturally, this sent the interview into a frenzy, with the host begging Sita for details. She revealed that around 2015-2016, right before Meghan met Harry, there were rumors of something romantic going on between her and the then-single Simon Cowell.
“I kind of know for a fact that she had a bit of a thing for Simon. We were all together a lot socially, and you could tell there was some electricity between them. Meghan was always quite flirty and touchy-feely with Simon in particular whenever our group would hang out,” Sita claimed.
Some people close to Simon even wondered why he never pursued anything with her at the time, given she was so into him. Sita admitted she never witnessed anything definite but heard through friends they might have had a brief fling or hookup when Meghan visited London without anyone knowing. Nothing was ever confirmed, but people talked. “I think it was all very casual though, but now looking back, it does make you wonder if old feelings were still there when she married Simon’s rival Harry just a year or two later.”
Naturally, this bombshell accusation sent the internet into a meltdown. Fans were shocked at the implication Meghan may have only settled for Harry to cement her royal title after apparently pining for Simon Cowell first. Even Sita herself noted that the whole situation made her question Meghan’s intentions. Just days after Sita’s interview went viral globally, insiders close to Harry claimed he was enraged and threatening divorce, screaming that Meghan had completely disrespected him.
Some believe it’s no coincidence and that Harry may have finally become aware of this alleged pre-marriage indiscretion, which has been tightly kept under wraps until now. Between the royal rift, their U.S. move, and constant media criticisms, had speculation over Meghan’s once-close friendship with Cowell finally put too much strain on the Sussex marriage? After so many lies, only they know the truth, but Harry going as far as threatening divorce does imply some fire where there’s this much smoke.
According to pundits, this reveals a whole new side to Meghan we never knew about and really questions her intentions from day one. While fans rush to her defense, claiming it’s just gossip, the timing is surely not a good look when combined with other rumored cheating accusations Harry refuses to comment on. It’s hard to imagine he’d threaten the nuclear option without cause at this point in their relationship drama.
