Bethenny Frankel is spilling the royal tea.
The âReal Housewives of New York Cityâ alum revealed how Meghan Markleâs ex-husband, Trevor Engelson, reacted to the actressâs romance with Prince Harry.
When Frankel met Engelson, he told her âhis ex was a woman from a show called âSuits,ââ the Bravolebrity, 55, told âThe Toastâ podcast listeners on Wednesday.
âI didnât know what the show was,â the Skinnygirl creator recalled. âI didnât know the woman. Months later, I see pictures showing Harryâs dating someone and texted him: âIs this your ex?ââ
When Engelson confirmed that Markle was the Duke of Sussexâs girlfriend, Frankel asked, âDo you think sheâs going to close?â
At the time, the 49-year-old replied, âOh, sheâll close.â
Frankel reiterated, âI donât want to get into more about that, but he was like, âSheâll close.ââ
Engelson was married to Markle from 2011 to 2014, with the âDeal or No Dealâ alum moving on with Harry two years post-divorce.
The âWith Love, Meghanâ star did indeed âclose,â as Harry proposed to her in November 2017.
The duo tied the knot in May of the following year.
They welcomed Prince Archie, now 6, months before quitting their royal roles and moving out of England.
After the trio settled in Montecito, Calif., Princess Lilibet, now 4, joined the family.
As for Engelson, he married heiress Tracey Kurland in May 2019 and subsequently welcomed daughter Grace, daughter Sienna and son Logan.
Frankel previously spoke about Engelson, with whom she once went on a date, on Australiaâs âKyle & Jackie O Show.â
During the April 2018 sitdown, she admitted to texting him after Markle and Harryâs engagement to say, âHoly sât, your ex is going to be a princess!â
