Did Meghan Markle Meet Prince Andrew Through Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell?
A new podcast exploring the connections between Meghan Markle, her close friend Marcus Anderson, Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Prince Andrew has resurfaced an old question.
Did the Duchess of Sussex meet Prince Andrew as a friend of Epstein before she met Prince Harry?
According to Gisleine Maxwell's unofficial biographer, Laura Goldman, it's possible.
Goldman suggested that Markle may have met Prince Andrew via Maxwell and Epstein years before she met Prince Harry.
The Steeple Times in the UK reported in 2020 that a renowned journalist tipped them off to enquire about this possibility.
In the podcast, Goldman also claimed that Markle's friend Anderson may have been a connector to Epstein as far back as 2001.

Summers, the author of Gisleine Maxwell, an unauthorised biography, shared that the media may find a photo of Markle on a yacht in Phuket, Thailand, cavorting with Prince Andrew through Maxwell.
However, it remains unclear whether the Duchess of Sussex attended the Yacht Week 2016, an event later described as Sodom and Gomorrah at sea by GQ.
The author further said on Twitter that the Duchess of Sussex is controlled by the same forces that controlled Geoffrey Epstein.
These claims have yet to be confirmed or denied.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry refused to tell Prince Charles about the contents of his new memoir during a meeting, according to royal commentator Neil Sean.
The Duke of Sussex, 37, has written the work, and a completed manuscript has been signed off by lawyers.
However, the memoir is believed to be causing tensions among senior royals.
Harry met Charles while the Duke visited Windsor on his way with his wife Meghan Markle to the Invictus Games in the Netherlands in April.
Sean cited a royal source who said that Harry refused to talk about what he put down in his book.
The refusal reportedly led to the Prince of Wales stopping the meeting after 10 minutes.
Royal watchers have warned that the memoir could reignite tensions which the Royal Family has sought to defuse.
Harry said in a statement announcing the book, “I'm writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become.
I've worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story, the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned, I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think.”
The prince is to donate proceeds from the book to charity.
Harry will be following in his wife's footsteps after she saw her own book, The Bench, published.
It tells the story of a relationship between a father and son and is based on Harry and the Sussexes' son Archie.
The work was inspired by a poem the Duchess of Sussex wrote for her husband on Father's Day and a month after their son was born.
Other royals who have penned works include Prince Charles, who wrote The Old Man of Loch Nagar, based on stories he would tell brothers Andrew and Edward.
The Duke of York's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, has also written a number of children's stories.
The publishing date for Harry's memoir has been pushed back once, but it is on track for the end of the year.
The manuscript has been finished and gone through all of the legal processes.
It's done and out of Harry's hands.
However, the big sticking point this year is the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and the 75th year of Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
Charles doesn't want any negativity, and according to Sean, Harry refused to share what he had written in his memoir.
Charles will have to wait and see like the rest of us.
