*LONDON - As the world watched Prince Harry tying the knot with American actress Meghan Markle in a Royal Wedding, everyone wanted to know more about the future Princess.*
Already spurring with the possibility of England having its first princess ‘of color’ an outsider, people got another shock when they found out that the soon to be Princess is a divorcee!
Prince Harry is not Meghan Markle’s first husband – she’s been married before. The former Suits actress, 36, was previously married to film producer Trevor Engelson, who she wed back in 2011, the same year Prince William tied the knot with Kate Middleton.
Meghan reportedly ended her marriage to Trevor by posting her wedding rings back to him in the post. It’s been widely reported that Trevor was left ‘devastated’ by his now former wife’s actions; he was apparently shell-shocked when she ended their marriage after two years.
Trevor met Meghan in 2004 and the pair became engaged six years later in 2010. They went on to marry on September 10, 2011, at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. However, by August 2013 – just two years later – the pair had divorced, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.

According to reports, it was the strain of a long-distance relationship – with Meghan working in Toronto, Canada on Suits while Trevor was in Los Angeles – that saw the end of their nine-year relationship.
