A story shared by a reality TV star Bethenny Frankel has been resurrected, shedding new light on a striking three-word prediction he allegedly made Meghan MarkleWhen Trevor Engelson’s ex-husband was asked about his relationship prince harry. The anecdote has taken on new significance as the debate over the Duchess of Sussex’s intentions continues to make headlines.As reported by RadarOnline. com, Markle, 44, started dating in 2016 before tying the knot at St George’s Chapel in Windsor in May 2018. She was previously married to film producer Engelson, 49, after a relationship that lasted nearly a decade from 2011 to 2014.
Bethenny Frankel was surprised by three words
Frankel, 55, used the podcast appearance to recall a conversation she had with Engelson shortly after news broke that Markle was dating Harry. She explained that she had a brief relationship with Engelson and recalled a conversation that took on new meaning when Markle’s romance with the prince became public.“He said his ex was a woman from a show called Suits. I didn’t know what the show was. I didn’t know the woman,” Frankel recalled. After seeing media reports about Harry’s new relationship, she said she contacted Engelson. “A month later, I see pictures of Harry dating someone and I text him, ‘Is this your ex?'” Engelson simply replied, “Yes.”Frankel then asked, “Do you think it’s going to close?” According to Frankel, Engelson responded with three words: “Oh, he’ll close.”His prediction was correct. Less than two years later, Markle and Harry exchanged vows in a televised ceremony watched by millions around the world. Markle wore a custom-made wedding dress that required 3,900 hours of work.
What insiders said about Engelson’s alleged remarks
Sources suggested that Engelson’s purported response reflected a deep understanding of Markle’s determination. “Some have interpreted the note to mean that Trevor understood how ambitious and focused Meghan was, and his words give the impression that he thought she was a ruthless social climber,” a source said. “He clearly believed he had the ability to navigate tremendous opportunities and make them happen.“Engelson is married to Tracey Kurland whom he married in 2019.
Meghan Markle’s relentless reinvention
The revived story comes as insiders continue to debate the extent of Markle’s post-royal ambitions. “If anyone doubted Meghan’s ambition before, they only have to look at everything she’s done since she left royal life,” a source said. “He has methodically built a portfolio of projects that includes television, podcasts, publishing, lifestyle branding and commercial partnerships. This takes a lot of drive, planning and determination.“Another insider noted Markle’s resilience even in the face of setbacks. “Even when projects have faced criticism or setbacks, Meghan has rarely backed down. She regroups, starts something new, and keeps going. This tenacity has led some to describe her as ambitious because she’s not willing to let obstacles get in the way of her long-term goals.”Another source pointed to a broader pattern at play. “The common thread running through Meghan’s post-royal career is that she seems determined to build an independent legacy. From the outside, she appears relentless. Supporters see her as entrepreneurial energy, while critics sometimes interpret her as ruthless ambition. Either way, the scale of her ambitions has become impossible to ignore.”Whether it’s considered focused or ruthless, Engelson’s three-word prediction from nearly a decade ago seems to have captured what many have been trying to articulate for years since then.
