All fans (and even not so fans) of the royal family remember the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The couple married in a lavish ceremony at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018, and it was basically one of the highest-rated weddings in television history.
Due to Harry's proximity to the throne, he had to get permission from his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, to marry the "Suits" actress before he could actually walk down the aisle. And because of how the royals had operated in the past and what led to Edward VIII's abdication, there were rumors that there might be a problem with Markle being a divorced American. The queen, of course, approved of the marriage, but there was one thing that may have been a deciding factor in the ceremony happening.
Meghan Markle was married Meghan Markle began dating film producer Trevor Engelson in 2004 and after 7 years together, the couple married in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, on September 2, 2011. However, they separated in 2013 citing "irreconcilable differences." "A wealthy businessman friend claimed that the marriage ended so abruptly that Meghan sent her wedding and engagement rings to Trevor by registered mail," royal biographer Andrew Morton wrote in his book, 'Meghan: A Hollywood Princess.' “Another confirmed that the decision to end the marriage was made by Meghan and that she had come ‘totally out of the blue.’”
It has been speculated that the future Duchess's career had begun to take off and her work schedule became so hectic that she had no time for anything else, including her husband. Engelson remarried a woman named Tracey Kurland in 2019 and we already know what has happened to Meghan since then.
The only reason they could marry Despite the fact that she was American, an actress and divorced, royal expert Duncan Larcombe told The Express that there was a key element about Markle's past that was a factor in deciding whether she could marry Harry. “Meghan and her ex-husband weren't married very long, so there's not a lot of baggage. But she didn’t have children either,” Larcombe said. “If she had had children with her first husband, that would really make it quite uncomfortable and difficult to resolve. By marrying Prince Harry, she will immediately join the royal family and all of her children will have a place in the succession to the throne.”
Children of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry As we well know, the former "Suits" star and Harry had their own children shortly after getting married. They welcomed a son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, on May 6, 2019 shortly before Meghan turned 40. And in order to further expand their family, on June 4, 2021, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their second child, a girl named Lilibet Diana, whose name has caused much controversy as it is inspired in the pet name of Queen Elizabeth and Harry's late mother, Princess Diana. Let us remember that Archie is seventh in line to the British throne, and Lili is eighth behind her father, Prince William, his three children and Prince Charles.
