Meghan Markle is one of the most famous women on the planet.

But even he has to deal with the phenomenon of mediocre people thinking that they can reach his level if they find him at a particularly low level.

You may remember Rayanne from the time a guest on her show incorrectly suggested that Travis Kelce was kicked out for “partying” with Taylor Swift too much.

Now, the sports media personality has once again gone out of her way, this time to share the tragic story of her encounter with the Duchess of Sussex.

ESPN host says Meghan Markle shot him

During a recent appearance on Bill Simmons’ podcast (Simmons, perhaps not coincidentally, has been highly critical of Meghan in the past), Ryan shared the story of the time he met Meghan at a celebrity flag football game in 2014. Had happened.

This was in 2014, about two years before Meghan started dating Prince Harry.

So Ryan decided to take his shot – but it seems the future duchess wasn’t as receptive to his advances.

“It was everything [Sports Illustrated] swimsuit model. So, no one was really paying any attention to Markle,” he claimed (via Page Six ).

“I was like, ‘That’s my street.’ She’s probably doubting herself a little right now. She has never been more attainable.”

The following week, Russillo messaged Meghan on Instagram and asked if she would like to appear on his show for promotion Suit Season 4, which was scheduled to premiere soon.

Sliding into Duchess Meg’s DM

“It was a very soft sell,” he explained to Simmons.

“It was, ‘Hey, I know there’s a new season coming… if you ever want to come on the show to promote it.’ It was really professional.”

But while Russillo may have played it safe, it looks like Meghan wasn’t fooled by his approach.

“It was freezing cold,” Russillo said of his reaction. “It was, ‘Oh, I don’t know anything about sports, but thanks for the offer.’

what happened next?

The rest, as they say, is history.

In the summer of 2016, Meghan began dating Harry and is now a member of the world’s most famous family.

We don’t know if she’s become a sports fan over the years, but she co-produced a Netflix documentary about polo that premiered this week.

Of course, it’s also possible that he feigned ignorance about the sports world to avoid appearing on Russillo’s show.

After all, you can’t go from actress to duchess without knowing how to deal with difficult social situations.
