Meghan Markle has been married to Prince Harry for six years, with a journey that includes two children, leaving the Royal Family, and relocating to the US. However, her marriage to Harry isn’t her first—she was married to Trevor Engelson in 2011, but they divorced in 2013.
Meghan’s early life in Los Angeles exposed her to the entertainment industry, as her father was a lighting director. She attended Immaculate Heart High School and later studied communications at Northwestern University. Although she initially considered politics, Meghan’s passion for acting led her to small roles in shows like General Hospital and films like Get Him to the Greek. Her big break came in 2011 when she landed the role of Rachel Zane on Suits.
Meanwhile, Trevor Engelson, a film producer, worked on projects like Remember Me. He and Meghan met in 2004, dated for seven years, and married in 2011 in Jamaica. Their wedding was lavish, but their relationship faced strains as Meghan’s career took off. As she became more successful, especially with Suits, their long-distance marriage grew difficult, and by 2013, they divorced due to “irreconcilable differences.”
Reports suggest that Trevor was devastated by the split, and Meghan’s new lifestyle in Toronto, surrounded by celebrities, led her to distance herself from her husband. She later reportedly returned her wedding rings to Trevor as a sign of the marriage’s end. Meghan has never publicly discussed the divorce, but Trevor may soon share his perspective in a forthcoming book about Meghan.
