Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal wedding may be just weeks away, but an upcoming biography is thrusting the former actress’s first marriage back into the spotlight.
Andrew Morton, who rose to fame after his biography on Princess Diana, will soon release a new book all about the royal-bride-to-be, titled Meghan: A Hollywood Princess.
The Sun recently published excerpts from the book which allege that 36-year-old ended her marriage to movie producer Trevor Engelson “out of the blue.”
The former couple dated for six years before tying the knot in 2011. They divorced just two years later in 2013.
According to the explosive read:
“Trevor went from cherishing Meghan to, as one friend observed, ‘feeling like he was a piece of something stuck to the bottom of her shoe.’ A wealthy entrepreneur friend claimed the marriage ended so abruptly that Meghan sent her wedding and engagement rings back to Trevor by registered post. Another confirmed that the decision to end the marriage was made by Meghan and that it had come ‘totally out of the blue.'”
Meghan and Trevor tied the knot in 2011, but divorced just two years later in 2013.
It’s claimed distance played a role in the breakdown of their marriage, with Meghan relocating to Toronto for Suits and Trevor choosing to stay on in Los Angeles.
“While she saw her star rising, her husband’s career was treading water,” Morton writes.
“With no new projects in sight and with Suits on hiatus, Trevor took Meghan on a cycling vacation to Vietnam. It didn’t help that he became sick with food poisoning. Their escape to exotic locales, which once provided a backdrop for their love, only served to highlight the distance between them.”
He later adds: “She was her own woman now, earning a steady income, making new friends on-set and off, no longer dependent on her husband’s connections.”
Apparently, Trevor “can barely contain his anger” over the bust-up… even now.
It’s claimed distance played a role in the demise of their marriage.
Thankfully, the duchess-to-be and her future-husband are likely to busy planning their upcoming wedding to concern themselves with such reports.
Kensington Palace recently confirmed that the loved-up duo have already picked a florist for the bigger than big day. Philippa Craddock — who has a studio in Fulham and Selfridges in London — is set to take on the challenge, selecting blooms from the Crown Estate and Windsor Great Park gardens.
“Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle have chosen floral designer @philippacraddock to create the church flowers for their wedding,” a statement from the palace read.

“The displays in St George’s Chapel will feature foliage from The Crown Estate and Windsor Great Park, and will use seasonal plants including branches of beech, birch and hornbeam, as well as white garden roses, peonies and foxgloves. The designs will reflect the wild and natural landscapes from which many of the plants will be drawn.”
“The Royal Parks will also supply some pollinator-friendly plants from their wildflower meadows, which will be incorporated into the floral designs. These plants provide a great habitat for bees and help to nurture and sustain entire ecosystems by promoting a healthy and biodiverse environment.”
In a touching tribute, after their wedding the couple will donate the flowers to charitable organisations.
Meghan and Harry are set to marry on Saturday 19th May at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.
