Actress Meghan Markle is now 'A Woman Of The Hour' after her high profile marriage to Prince Harry. So, it's only natural for people to have heightened interest as regards her first marriage. People have been wondering about what really happened? Well, here's the story. ...
The former Suits actress was, for two years, married to Trevor Engelson, a 41 year-old movie producer from Great Neck, New York. Their marriage reportedly ended abruptly and he is currently working on a pilot episode about an ex marrying a royal.
Meghan was 23 years-old when she met her ex-husband. They reportedly started dating back in 2004, marrying after seven years together.
Engelson married the SUITS actress on September 10, 2011 at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The wedding was a four-day affair and took place in front of 102 guests.
Meghan landed her role in SUITS just a few months before they married. However sustaining a long-distance marriage was apparently too difficult for the couple; Ms Markle and Engelson separated after two years. Their divorce was finalised in August 2013, with the couple citing 'irreconcilable differences'.
Engelson has not spoken about his ex-wife's new relationship but Ms Markle's half-brother Thomas Markle Jnr. blamed their divorce on 'the pressure of Hollywood'.
One source told Woman's Day magazine that it was her job filming the SUITS and the resulting the long-distance situation that ultimately ruined their relationship.
The insider said: "They really battled with long distances. Trevor was based in LA while Meghan was in Toronto, a five-hour flight away. It was a very difficult way to start married life."
In his controversial new book Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, Royal biographer Andrew Morton revealed that Ms. Markle returned her wedding and engagement rings to Engelson by registered post after ending their marriage “out of the blue”.
“[Engelson] went from cherishing Meghan to, as one friend observed, ‘Feeling like he was a piece of something stuck to the bottom of her shoe’,” Morton wrote.
“Whether she wanted to admit it to herself or not, Meghan, who once said she couldn’t imagine life without Trevor by her side, was now building a new world for herself.”
