Engelson, who was married to Meghan from 2011 to 2013, admitted he was completely blindsided by the truth about Meghan’s past. “I had no idea. None of us did,” he said in the exclusive interview. “Meghan presented herself as this perfect, pristine woman, but the reality is she has a lot of darkness in her past that she’s covered up very skillfully.”
According to Engelson, the story began more than two decades ago when Meghan was a young woman living in Los Angeles. Meghan had a relationship with a man named Giuliano, and they ended up having a child together—a little girl. However, Meghan decided to give the baby up for adoption without informing anyone, including her father, Thomas.
Engelson claims Meghan was terrified that the secret would be exposed and coerced her father into agreeing never to speak about it. “Thomas loved that granddaughter more than anything,” Engelson revealed, “but Meghan threatened him and said she would never speak to him again if he ever revealed the truth.” Thomas, heartbroken, had no choice but to comply with Meghan’s demands.
The child, now 21 years old, was adopted by a couple in Northern California and has had no contact with the Markle family. Engelson describes how Meghan has lived with this guilt and secret throughout her life. “She’s worked so hard to project this image of perfection, but it’s all a facade,” he said. “The reality is she abandoned her own flesh and blood.”
Engelson only uncovered the truth about the secret daughter after his divorce from Meghan. “It came out in bits and pieces—things Meghan had said, stories from her past that didn’t add up. I started asking questions and doing my own digging, and eventually, the full story emerged. It was absolutely devastating.”
The revelations about Meghan’s past are expected to shake the royal family and cast a dark shadow over her meticulously crafted public image. Engelson decided to come forward because he believes the public deserves to know the truth. “Meghan has positioned herself as a beacon of virtue, someone who champions women’s rights and family values,” Engelson said. “But the reality is she has her own dark secrets that she’s covered up for over two decades.”
Engelson hopes that by sharing this story, the woman Meghan gave up for adoption will come forward and learn the truth about her biological family. “The public deserves to know what kind of person Meghan Markle really is behind the carefully curated facade.”
Representatives for Meghan Markle and the royal family have not yet responded to requests for comment on Engelson’s statements. This story is still developing but is sure to send shockwaves through the highest levels of the British monarchy.
