I found the article that states Misha met Meghan in May. If you google Meghan Markles UK connections before meeting Harry (Daily Mail). The body of the article states it was at Basel but under one of the photos it says Misha met Meghan in May 2014

[@thevintageread]

Thanks I read it and then lost it! And a million searches later it wouldn’t re-appear! Glad I’m not going mad. It is conceivable she was there for that dinner as a few guys were with their wives.

Cressida dodged a bullet with not being with Prince ManBaby. And Milkshake Megsy was still living with the chef. Once a cheater, always a cheater. They are both off their rockers. I think they met earlier than they claim, and they changed their own timeline. Deplorables!

Just an observation on the Invictus games - it was not Henry's idea. Our late Queen Elizabeth II asked Edward Lane Fox to set something up for Henry to do to keep him occupied. It was all set up and handed to him, speeches and all.

As a strategy, Diana, Princess of Wales, used “confuse the palace, keep them off balance,” and Harry is right when he claims, “I have a lot of my mother in me.” Maybe our best response to the “keep them guessing” modus operandi is to yawn, ignore the Sussexes, and turn to other interesting stories that are more believable--on the other hand, this is a thoroughly enjoyable and thoughtful vlog.

This all makes perfect sense. I've always thought the their plan to live in America and do the half im half out thing was a long time in the planning - long before they even got married. I think that when they went to the Queen with their plan, in their minds it was a fait accompli and they would have the choice bits of their royal life and their American life. When the Queen gave them a resounding "No" I don't think they could believe it and I really believe that is what has made them the nasty, vengeful people they have become. I don't think anyone had ever said no to either of them before.

I agree with you but I think that M & H were already vengeful, selfish people and when M doesn't get her way she throws a tantrum and gets revenge. Harry too.

[@debbiemorgan4537]

I couldn't agree more. I have always thought they figured they were just going to waltz in and tell the Queen how they were going to do things and it never, ever crossed their weak, little minds that things wouldn't go their way. When it didn't all hell broke loose. Meme begin Meme was now out to ruin the Royal Family because how dare they not give her what she wanted. Hasbeen is no better. What I can't comes to grips with is how stupid they both are. No matter how many times they make the same mistakes they never learn from them.

[@stephemmurphy2554]

I find it difficult to believe Cressida would cry over losing that dollop.

[@grandmaj.]

I could talk for hours about this Megan woman, but all I'll say is, most men have no idea how conniving some women can be. some only find out when their hearts are broken or their bank accounts are emptied by the person they thought loved them, some never realize it. Women know what women are capable of, even if some don't want to admit it.

[@desiree32129]

Possibly, but the most documented is that they met at Soho House opening in Istanbul, April 25, 2015. Palace records put Harry there, and photos place MM there. Rumors are that Harry wasn't interested, brushed her off, not his type, not young, not blonde. As for Toronto. Corey, chef to Celebrities was in no need of Meghan, quite the reverse. You have to understand, no one knew who she was, the show was on cable by subscription, not mainstream media.

[@thevintageread]

Yes it doesn’t add up…but I wish that brunette came forward! 😂

[@anitawilkinson6943]

What to believe with these two! I read he got very drunk in Istanbul and ended up sobbing on her pillow about his poor self and his life as a wastral living in palaces.

[@lizroberts1569]

Of course ! Duh you have to subscribe in Canada & the US that’s why no one knew her or Suits.

[@CAK10111]

Nah, they’ve fudged the timeline because she was living with someone who thought he was in an exclusive relationship with her. It’s not a good look that she was carrying on a secret affair. I’d take bets on them sneaking around for quite a while before their so-called “blind date” (details of which have changed repeatedly)

[@richardpoulsen5502]

i think she was living with a high end chef when she was having an affair with harry

[@marzaak11]

If that is true, what a downgrade for Harry! Cressida is effortlessly beautiful and classy, a very talented actor and an incredibly intelligent and sophisticated lady. Basically all the things Megz keeps pretending to be. 😂

[@chicosmommy498]

I can also see why everybody loved Cressida, she seems so down to earth, a very humble sweet personality. The opposite of MM

[@marianabryce7250]

Well Shauna they’ve told SO MANY LIES about EVERYTHING 🙄. You could very well be right. I would not be surprised.

[@larhumba4233]

I can well believe it. The changing story of how they met is similar to the mystery surrounding the birth of her children. She tried to blame Mishal Husain, a top BBC Journo, for the engagement interview being so false, but Mishal refuted Meghan's lies. If Harry did drop Cressida for Meghan, more fool him. I agree Cressida is not only beautiful but very talented. I saw her in the White Farm TV dramatisation of a notorious family murder in Essex, where she played the sister, and her performance was so poignant and moving. She would've made a beautiful addition to the Royal Family but she didn't deserve Harry's shenanigans.

[@thevintageread]

Yes she has a much better life!

[@goodday7626]

@@777LuckyLucy my thoughts on this are, MM refused to sign a pre-nup, but finally conceded to sign something at the church on day of wedding, before ceremony could take place. I think this was her ‘up yours’ to the RF, stating what you made me sign is invalid, cause we were already married. Just a MM porky aimed at Royal family, I think the Queen in particular.

Definitely the whole 'humanitarian' charade. All of the sudden within 2 years she's in Rwanda, speaking at One World Vision and wants to be an Ambassador at the UN. She had to jump into these things and was begging her agents, everyone to catapult her into that sphere, because Harry would then be interested in her. I really hope that a book comes out one day that reveals her machinations. Tom Bower said about his book: 'You should have seen what I couldn't print'.

No need for NDAs, it's incredibly bad form for guys to kiss and tell.

[@marensweet719]

Oh Shauna, I thoroughly enjoyed this segment. Not so much because of anything particularly salacious-but because you are right-as a lot of people have felt similarly to you that Harry and Meghan likely met far earlier than what had been previously reported. However in my view, it really does harken back to just how nauseatingly deceptive and deceitful the pair have since proven themselves to be of late. But what I really came to appreciate most of all-is the unique commentary and perspective in which you continue to provide. For example, you come with armed with a wonderful presentation-one that is both fair minded and essentially rooted in academia-with regards to royal biographies and such) and not from the same old deductions that most other Royal gossip channels base the bulk of their their content on. You also present a good amount of facts and are very disarming as you thoughtfully discuss the probability of things. I also find your sincere way of putting things into focus and perspective ideally so much more relatable, tangible and plausible versus everything else which always comes off as so seemingly dark and sinister. I think at this point-each and every single one of us could really benefit from a little clarity and perspective. As how one feels about the Royals in general these days is a very polarizing subject. While I think we can all agree that we initially had wished that Harry had settled down with either Cressida Bonas or Chelsy Davy…I have a feeling nonetheless that in no time at all both of these young women would have been completely miserable. And that ultimately what eventually transpired between Charles and Diana would have similarly played out even more disturbingly in front of the entire world. In all truthfulness, both Cressida and Chelsy dodged a major bullet. As did most other young women all over the world-as no young woman in her right mind should ever have had to secretly endure what those two young women and even poor Sasha Walpole were put through. So in retrospect, I for one am incredibly thankful that Sasha, Chelsy and Cressida were all able to safely move past Harry and find the love and men that they all truly deserved. And regardless of what else continues to glaringly come to light about both Harry and Meghan-the sad truth is that Meghan is forever tethered to Harry and that no one really is the least bit envious of her for being married to him either.

[@thevintageread]

Really enjoyed reading your comment! Very interesting points. Thanks.

[@dupelawal-ijaiya4020]

No one is envious of Harry for marrying thrice divorced liar, Rachel Megan Raglan Markle. If Henry had married any of his exs, it wouldn't have been like his parents saga at all. His and his parents situation are totally so so different. Rachel is an older been around the block woman and used the oldest tricks on Henry to snatch Henry from Cressida without anyone knowing. She and her friend, owner of Soho house planned the hook up to Henry, while he met the other girls by himself and not at call houses.

[@marensweet719]

@@dupelawal-ijaiya4020 While I completely understand what you are saying, I would like to clarify a few things. First, no woman in her right mind would be or is at all envious of Meghan-period. Secondly, there is factual evidence and proof of Harry's own narcissism-which undoubtedly stems from his ongoing drug use. Which again was more than apparent throughout much of Heart of Invictus. Furthermore, you cannot make such an assumption about Harry and his exes without first acknowledging the indisputable fact that he did not treat Sasha Walpole kindly when it came to light that she was the much older woman from Spare. There were also a number of incredibly insensitive and cruel things that he did to his exes including Chelsy Davy. This is also on top of what Shauna has already pointed out in his relationship with Cressida Bonas. It is also really not fair of any one of us to fully criticize Meghan-without first giving just criticism where criticism is actually due-and that of course lies squarely with Harry. After all he is the one who made it his mission in life to purposely prevent everyone in his immediate family from learning the full truth about Meghan for more than two years. Jason Knauf even alluded to what Harry was doing to staffers to ensure that the Queen and others within the Family would continue to have no real knowledge of Meghan's actual past thus preventing most of them from being able to intervene much earlier. Which was also in direct conflict and violation of Royal protocol. In other words, Meghan could not have ascended or infiltrated the Monarchy like she did and with such ferocity as she did without Harry's direct personal involvement and knowledge. So his meeting Meghan much earlier than originally reported not only does make total sense but it also aligns perfectly with what transpired with the events leading up to Megxit also reveals the true depths of his depravity and abject cruelty. Make no mistake about it-the Queen was maligned because of Harry. He cared nothing at all about her or the royal protocol that had stood as a trustworthy guardrail for more than fifty years. Harry is also the one who incessantly criticizes the rest of the world for their refusal to pay fealty to Meghan. He knows nothing at all about forgiveness, empathy, compassion, mercy, understanding, etc. Furthermore, I think the real reason that he continues to use and abuse drugs this very day is because of his desire to suppress all of the guilt that he still feels for having not only lied to his family for God only knows how long in reality but for having betrayed them in order to prove to Meghan of his so-called love for her.

[@purpurina5663]

I agree, the "leave my girlfriend alone" makes a lot more sense if they met earlier (and she had emotional blackmail material, such as giving up her relationship w Corey for him).

[@thevintageread]

Thanks 💗

[@thevintageread]

It does!

[@bearessentials4383]

Why anyone would pick the dog filter on Instagram as the story is beyond me.

[@shesaladyintx4476]

Especially at her age.

[@thevintageread]

Yes I thought that too!

[@edieking5767]

The journalists that described her as tan was experiencing unconscious biased. And to say Cressida is a talented performer then they haven’t watched (suffered through) Suits. Because I have seen some reports of major films trying to snag them some MM. Oscar whispers have been heard. Now all this is alleged and in the deranged mind of Madam cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs and her red headed assistant 😝

[@arlenejoan6209]

You’re brilliant…and fun. Thank you. I love to watch your mind spin.

[@thevintageread]

Thanks!

[@BarbaraMoitoso]

Shauna! You are an amazing investigator!! I agree with you 100%👍🏻

[@WendyDonaldson-ld1jg]

Interesting 🤔

[@lizmacrae4970]

Well intuition is a great thing and I think you are spot on with this one….thank you. My granny used to say….There is no such thing as a secret.

[@ChrisW228]

Since the Toronto games were so far in the future, I suspect that if they kept it under wraps it was because he had JUST broken up with Cressida. ?

[@smartinup100]

Cressida is a very good actress and she also had a podcast “Fear Itself” for which she produced close to 40 podcasts )unlike a certain work-shy duchess).

[@cdmc965]

Love the way your mind works!

[@marie-josegauthier5257]

This makes so much sense. I hope that this story will be developed. Toronto indeed…how twisted. It does seem planned.

[@yorkshiregal]

Good Afternoon Shauna and one and all. I had heard that they met at a Soho House opening abroad somewhere, can’t remember then location. 🙋‍♀️🇬🇧

[@BettyBoop111]

SoHO House Turkey, April 2015. H was there with Charles for the Anzac Day Celebrations, and MM was there as a hostess for SoHO House Opening Week.

[@yorkshiregal]

@@BettyBoop111 Thank you 👍 🙋‍♀️

[@thevintageread]

Usually it is the Istanbul story…

[@heatheralice89]

Fascinating!

[@lizaltieri]

Interesting theory! I do think it's likely that Jessica Mulroney and Markus Anderson were involved in getting Invictus to Toronto.

[@gillianr-w8720]

I would not believe a word from either of them.

[@CereCerebration]

I love how your mind works! Makes perfect sense to me ...

[@helenb1996]

There is a another story that they met at the opening of Soho House in Turkey ( April 2015 ) ) Charles also went with Harry and it was considered a mixed race woman might help the Family hence the introduction but maybe they reconnected after meeting in 2014 !

[@skymoon4029]

🎉 great 👌

[@thevintageread]

Thanks ✌️

[@jacquelineloveselvis]

Very interesting. 🤔

[@libbycampion7290]

Love it!

[@avm9647]

I didn’t know anything about Cressida until your post today but I do have some beautiful Oliver Bonas espresso cups (I think they are related so a talented family 😊)

[@roselewsley4125]

I don't think so,simply by the fact that there was no way....she could have kept it secret for 2 yrs! She was so desperate to get the story out, that she told Joe Kasner journalist at Vanity Fair ( Wild About Harry ) even though she was expressly told, not to do so!

[@eve_in_paris]

Your archive files are a treasure!!! Better than any Scotland Yard investigation 😉🕵️‍♀️

[@sueparkes7409]

Harry was in Turkey for the Gallipoli celebration, and Markle was there for the opening of Soho house at the same time that was In the April of 2015. Also didn't H date Ellie Goulding after Cressida?

[@mariemarch-sz1bl]

There's a photo of Harry and this dark haired woman on-line. She is definitely not MM. Too tall and has a waist. In addition to that, Harry was with his mates in Miami and not possible that he met MM in May 2014 and Skippy and the others never breathed a word about that later. Also not plausible that MM chased Harry for two years and didn't breathe a word about it to anyone. She was chasing chef Cory from late 2013 or early 2014. Did hook up with Rory Mcilroy in August 2014, but she scurried back to Cory.

[@debbiemorgan4537]

Hi Shauna, your research skills are second to none. With that in mind, could I kindly ask you to look into the stories about Meghan being caught taking pictures in the private family areas at Kensington Palace before she married Hasbeen? I've heard this story mentioned a few times now in the 3 or 4 days on other vloggers' channels. This included taking pictures of the Wales' children's bedrooms, especially Charlette's bedroom. It was said that if things didn't work out with Hasbeen she would sell the pictures at a later date. If true and Hasbeen knew about it how could he even consider marrying someone that would do such a thing.

[@thevintageread]

I have looked into it! 😊 It may be true but I have only found stories online from unverified or anonymous sources… so I can’t help you I’m afraid, not with anything I can prove.

[@bearessentials4383]

Well he couldn’t have been as fooled by her personality if he knew her longer.

[@terry8728]

Shauna, I think you might be thinking of the New York Times article published on 12 Sept 2019 titled “Misha Nonoo, Close Personal Friend of MM, Speaks”. The article notes that “Photos captured in Miami in 2014, sold through Getty Images, reveal that both women attended a nighttime beach party…”

[@thevintageread]

That was Art Basel in December…but I have a feeling that Misha and Alexander Gilkes were there at Fontainebleau in May…

[@gilliandarling9239]

find the author of the article ... the journo and ask them if it looked like she ?@@thevintageread

[@BlueInk912]

The chef was at the BeachParty.

[@thevintageread]

Yes he was at Art Basel in December…but not May! 😉

[@emahu]

You’re the best detective lady! And so delightful!❤

[@patriciastclair765]

2 years of scheming 🤢

[@grainnelambert881]

Hmmmmmmmm now that's piece of giggly gossip 😂

[@thevintageread]

😂💗

[@jackiegould1569]

Thanks!

[@thevintageread]

Thankyou! That’s very kind 😊

[@christinechandler5690]

I Believe they met earlier and we're already planning to plunder the opportunies offered to them. That is way they constantly muddy the water, smoke and mirrors. Cresidda had a lucky escape, she would have been miserable stuck with him.
