Meghan Markle ended her first marriage "out of the blue", claims new book by Diana's biographer

As Meghan Markle prepares to walk down the aisle with Prince Harry in a month, a new book has been written about her first marriage and how it came to an abrupt end.



The book was written by Princess Diana’s biographer Andrew Morton. In an excerpt from the book titled, Meghan, A Hollywood Princess, Morton reveals new details about Meghan’s relationship with Hollywood producer Trevor Engelson, who she was married to in 2011 and divorced in 2013.



The except was published by The Sunday Times over the weekend. In it, Morton writes that Meghan and Engelson met at a dive bar while she was getting her start in acting. According to Meghan, A Hollywood Princess, Meghan was starting to work as an actress, nabbing a small sitcom role and joining Deal or No Deal.

Then Meghan got her break in Suits. The show was filmed in New York and then Canada, meaning the actress would be based away from her then-new fiancé. Meghan and Engelson thought “the sacrifice was going to be worth it,” Morton writes, noting that it was just a month before the wedding when Suits was renewed for a second season, confirming that the long-distance nature of their romance would continue.

In 2011, the duo tied the knot in what a bridesmaid recalls to Morton was a “moving wedding,” complete with the couple writing their own vows. Then Meghan flew back to Canada after the celebration for filming.

Morton writes in The Sunday Times excerpt that it wasn’t long before “cracks began to appear in their marriage.”



Markle announced the end of their two-year marriage in the summer of 2013, and they officially divorced a year later. But the separation was “totally out of the blue” for Engelson, according to Morton.

“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,’ ” writes Morton.







The book, Meghan, A Hollywood Princess, will be out on April 17, weeks before Meghan's wedding.
