When Meghan Markle walked down the aisle to marry Prince Harry in May 2018, the world watched with bated breath as a real-life fairy tale unfolded. The actress from the television show *Suits* had captured the heart of a prince, seemingly elevating herself to modern-day royalty. But behind the glitz, glamour, and royal spectacle lingered shadows from her past that many had forgotten or chose not to see. Among them was her first marriage to Hollywood producer Trevor Engelson, a relationship that some say ended in a manner that left those around them with mixed emotions and lingering questions.
Meghan and Trevor's marriage, which began in 2011, seemed promising. Trevor, a well-liked producer, had been supportive of Meghan’s budding career. However, by 2013, the union had unraveled, and the two went their separate ways. While the split may have appeared amicable on the surface, sources close to the couple paint a different picture. According to insiders, Meghan’s handling of the end was as cold as it was swift.
Trevor, who had been nothing but supportive of Meghan’s career, was reportedly blindsided by the sudden collapse of their relationship. His heartache was made all the more poignant by reports that Meghan returned her wedding rings to him in an envelope—an act many perceived as a stark, impersonal way to close the chapter on what was once a love story.
Meghan’s move into the royal spotlight put her personal life under an even brighter glare, casting a shadow over her past relationships. At her royal wedding, the *Suits* cast played a prominent role, drawing attention to the gap left by Meghan’s limited family presence. Yet, it’s suggested that her former co-stars may not have been as thrilled to support her as it appeared. According to sources, many women from *Suits* felt a disconnect with Meghan, alleging that she distanced herself after marrying Prince Harry. Their attendance at the wedding, some claim, was more of a publicity opportunity than a heartfelt display of camaraderie.
Meghan's treatment of Trevor, viewed by many as kind and laidback, left a bitter taste for those who knew her. According to some accounts, Trevor was a stable, down-to-earth individual who loved Meghan genuinely. However, as she began to climb the ladder of fame, the relationship started to buckle under the strain. Friends of the former couple recall how Trevor had been supportive during her early acting career, only for Meghan to end the marriage when she found herself in a more prominent position.
These tales of past disconnections and personal sacrifices raise questions about Meghan’s character, especially given her transformation from actress to Duchess of Sussex. Her subsequent distancing from the *Suits* cast and others from her previous life has only fueled speculation that Meghan’s ambitions have always been at the forefront, perhaps even at the expense of those who once stood by her.
As the world watched her join the royal family, the absence of key figures from her past—including Trevor—spoke volumes. The former Hollywood producer, who once shared a life with her, was now a silent figure in the background, far removed from the fanfare and royal allure.
Today, as Meghan and Harry face new challenges in their post-royal lives, their public image is shifting. The glamorous red-carpet appearances and promises of exciting projects have been slow to materialize, leading some to question whether the couple’s aspirations align with their reality. For some former friends and acquaintances, this narrative isn’t surprising—it reflects patterns they believe Meghan has exhibited before.
Allegations from former staff members claim that Meghan and Harry seem more interested in the privileges their status affords than the responsibilities it demands. The narrative around Meghan’s treatment of Trevor has resurfaced, with some former friends expressing newfound sympathy for him. In contrast, Meghan’s actions are scrutinized, and her motivations questioned.
The image of a woman returning her wedding rings in an envelope becomes a symbolic reminder of a relationship left behind—one that, some say, speaks to a larger pattern in her life.
