Will The British Public Ever Accept Meghan Markle As Royal? Most People Don’t Think So

Divorced Duchess

Another detail that was inevitably going to rub the royal family up the wrong way was the fact that Meghan Markle has already been married once in her life before she even met Prince Harry. The former actress started dating Trevor Engelson back in 2004 and, after a few years of dating, the couple tied the knot in 2011.

However, they decided to go their separate ways about 18 months later and finalized their divorce in August 2013. It’s yet another factor that has made her integration into royal life problematic.
