Meghan Markle’s First Marriage: The Truth Behind the Divorce

In the midst of the many unanswered questions surrounding the Duchess of Sussex's past, one question stands out as particularly intriguing: why did she divorce her first husband, Trevor Engelson?

Engelson, known as a hustling film producer with an unwavering determination, used setbacks in his career and Meghan's as fuel to overcome challenges.

However, after seven years as a couple and just 23 months of marriage, they decided to part ways.

But just how accurate is this inside view of a couple who, even according to the authors of Finding Freedom, were deeply in love?

And is it true that Trevor Engelson was consumed by envy over Meghan's success?

Those close to Trevor have a different recollection of events.

Engelson's uncle, Mickey Miles Felton, a lacrosse coach from Arizona, maintains regular contact with his nephew.

According to Felton, Trevor is too good of a person to harbor such thoughts.

He firmly believes that the reasons for the divorce presented in the book are an attempt to whitewash someone who made mistakes and now needs to portray themselves in a positive light.

While Trevor, like anyone else, had his faults, he is not the type of person to be jealous of someone else's achievements.

In fact, he has helped many people succeed in their own careers.

So, the claim made in the book can only be described as rubbish.

Felton goes on to explain that Trevor was in a position to support Meghan when she was an unknown actress and that he would have done everything in his power to further her career.

After all, wouldn't you want to help someone you are madly in love with?

Trevor was genuinely happy for Meghan's success and took pride in it.

A quick glance at Engelson's Facebook page confirms this.

Instead of being envious, he openly celebrated Meghan's breakthrough role in the TV show Suits, even sharing articles about it and expressing his delight for his “badass fiancée.”

He was proud of her achievements and showed no signs of jealousy.

So, if Trevor wasn't jealous of Meghan's success, when did the jealousy begin?

Perhaps it only emerged after their wedding, which took place at a luxurious Jamaican resort.

However, even this theory is challenged by evidence from Engelson's social media.

Just weeks before the sudden end of their marriage, he posted on Facebook, expressing his pride in his “amazing wife.”

It seemed everything was going well, until it wasn't.

The decision to end the marriage came as a shock to Trevor, completely out of the blue.

Following the divorce, Meghan embarked on a new chapter in her life.

She joined the exclusive members club Soho House and became close friends with its global membership director, Marcus Anderson.

She and VTLO (her nickname for Trevor) moved into a modest townhouse in Toronto, where she lived under the name Meghan Engelson.

This new life was a far cry from the extravagant lifestyle she would later enjoy with Prince Harry in their multimillion-dollar mansion in Santa Barbara, California.

Looking back, it's clear that Meghan's life with Trevor was vastly different from her current royal status.

When they first met, she was a young actress fresh out of theater school, while Trevor was an established film producer and agent.

He was her Svengali, a confident New Yorker who captivated her.

And she adored him.

Trevor, on the other hand, proudly boasted to his friends on the East Coast that he had won over the most attractive woman in California.

Recently, an American report has made sensational claims, labeling Meghan Markle as a gold digger based on old blog posts where she expressed disdain for poverty and her acting career.

These claims add another layer to the narrative surrounding Meghan's past, but they are met with skepticism by those who know her and Trevor personally.

As the unanswered questions about Meghan's past continue to circulate, the truth behind her first marriage remains a mystery.

While some may speculate and make unfounded claims, only Meghan and Trevor truly know what led to the end of their relationship.
