Meghan Markle’s Deal or No Deal Co-Host, Howie Mandel, Claims He Has No Memory of Her

It seems that Meghan Markle's past as a briefcase model on Deal or No Deal has come back to haunt her.

Comedian and game show host Howie Mandel, who hosted the show from 2005 to 2019, recently claimed that he has no memory of meeting Meghan during her time on the show.

Mandel made the statement during an interview with Piers Morgan on his talk TV show Piers Morgan, Uncensored.

Meghan appeared on Deal or No Deal from 2006 to 2007 before leaving to pursue other acting roles, including her breakout role on the hit TV show Suits.

Despite her brief time on the show, her appearance has been a topic of discussion since she became a member of the royal family.

Morgan, who is known for his outspoken criticism of Meghan and Harry, asked Mandel about his former co-star during the interview.

Mandel responded by saying, “I'm going to be totally honest with you…I have absolutely no memory of her.

I did not remember until she was dating Harry and people started saying what can you tell us about Meghan?

And I would say who's Meghan?

I didn't know, I didn't remember.”

Despite Mandel's claim that he has no memory of Meghan, the comedian acknowledged that perhaps that is the beauty of it.

Meghan and Harry celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary last week, and the couple is expected to make their first public return to Britain since moving to America in 2020 at Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee in June.

However, it seems that the couple may face some seating arrangements issues during the celebrations.

According to royal expert Angela Levin, Meghan and Harry will reportedly be banned from sitting close to Prince Charles and Prince William during the Jubilee service at St. Paul's Cathedral.

The couple will reunite with the rest of the royal family for the first time in two years, and Levin suspects that they will have to sit apart from senior royals.

Levin also predicted that Buckingham Palace may decide to seat all the royals in a long front row split by the aisle to defuse any tension between members of the family.

This could mean that Meghan and Harry are banished to the “naughty corner” to sit alongside Prince Andrew, who will be making his first public appearance since his father Prince Philip's memorial service in March.

Despite these predictions, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams believes that the Queen will go out of her way to welcome the couple and may even give them a special gesture to make them feel more a part of the historic occasion.

Levin also suggested that Meghan and Harry may be seated alongside Harry's cousin, Princess Eugenie, with whom they remain close.

It remains to be seen how the seating arrangements will play out during the Jubilee service, but it seems that Meghan's past as a briefcase model on Deal or No Deal will continue to spark discussions and controversy.
