The abrupt ending with her first husband
How was the unknown and ruthless divorce of her with Trevor Engelson
The doorbell rang. He noted on the security camera that he was a post office employee. In his hands, he carried a small package. He thought of an order for something he had ordered a few hours ago. He received it and signed the form certifying that it had already been delivered. When he opened it, he was surprised: inside it was the engagement ring that he had given to his beloved girlfriend two years before and with which they had sworn eternal love.
It was perhaps one of the best-kept secrets for actress Meghan Markle, the woman who will soon become Harry's wife and princess of the United Kingdom. Few, very few, knew in depth the reason that led her to end her two-year marriage with her first husband, the Hollywood producer Trevor Engelson.
Only one person could deeply investigate the causes and he did. That person is none other than the one who knows the ins and outs of the British royal family best. More specifically, the secrets of Lady Di, who would have been Markle's mother-in-law.
Andrew Morton, Diana Spencer's biographer, delved into Markle's years of life so that the British people would know who she would have as her guest at Buckingham Palace. The book, recently published and whose essential chapter was published by The Times newspaper in its Sunday edition, is entitled: "Meghan, a Hollywood Princess".
In her lines, Morton reveals the true causes of her abrupt and mysterious divorce from her first husband in 2013, after two years of marriage.
She, based in Toronto and he, in Los Angeles, could not keep love alive at a distance. The occupations and obligations of one and the other forced them to try to make their partner survive despite the little contact they had. And, unsurprisingly, that fragile bond didn't last.
But for the few relatives who know in detail how the end was, the future princess was the one who acted in a "cruel" way, according to the biographer who most bothers the English royal family. Apparently, Meghan was blunt in concluding with love. Instead of traveling to Los Angeles and clarifying as adults that her relationship could not continue, the actress and star of the hit series Suits decided to mail her… the wedding ring that had sealed her love two years earlier.
Engelson was devastated by Markle's decision. He did not understand what had happened, since he thought that despite the distance, things were going and that they would finally meet again. It was he who elevated her to the category of great series actress and who promoted her to be a star in Suits.
But it wasn't the only humiliation Morton describes. When they were still fighting - or so it seemed - to keep her love alive and she moved to Canada, a simple "domestic" gesture also fell like a bombshell on Engelson's dignity. Meghan decided to take a multiprocessor to cook with. It was a gesture that shocked the producer and made him suspect the worst.
"She took her favorite kitchen utensil from her West Hollywood home and brought it with her to Toronto, where she settled. She carried it in the back seat of her car. She then placed it in her Toronto kitchen. An object that reminded her that He was no longer at his home in Los Angeles," wrote the author of the controversial and revealing book.
Soon after promoting her to Suits, Engelson began to suspect that Markle's new life was too good to pass up for him. Though he would never suspect that it would end with a courier knocking on her door and delivering her precious engagement rings.
Meghan made Engelson feel, according to friends of hers interviewed by Morton, that he was "a thorn in her side" during her final months. Meghan was already financially independent and famous. She no longer needed the producer, according to the merciless biography of the English author.
