MEGA STRAIN

Meghan Markle’s ex-husband Trevor Engelson felt like “something stuck to the bottom of her shoe” as their marriage broke down, it has been reported.

The producer and talent agent told how his marriage to the Duchess came under strain as the pair were filming in different cities.

They had started dating in 2004, as Meghan was looking to establish herself as an actor in Hollywood, and tied the knot in Ocho Rios in September 2011.

But their marriage came under strain as Meghan was filming in Toronto for the hit show Suits while he was based in California – and the pair spent little time together.

Filing for divorce in August 2013, Meghan citied “irreconcilable differences” – just as her acting career was taking off.

MEGHAN MARKLE CATCHES HEAT FOR ‘NOT DOING WORK’ BEFORE BECOMING A ROYAL

Meghan Markle has been accused of “not doing the work” before joining the Royal Family.

News came after Meghan and Prince Harry announced a new Netflix deal, in collaboration with Elton John’s husband, which sees an animated series following the story of a 12-year-old girl named Pearl.

The Netflix series is just one of many various projects Meghan has got involved with this year, after signing a Spotify podcast deal, Archewell Audio as well as signing a contract with the consumer good company, Procter & Gamble.

After more than 12 months separated from the Royal Family, Meghan and Harry have been criticised for not completing much work from these deals.

Commentator Caitlin Flanagan said that Meghan “didn’t do the work” while researching what it is required of a Royal before tying the knot with Harry.

Ms Flanagan claimed: “Part of Meghan’s problem, it turned out, was her naivety about the workings of the Royal Family, which she had assumed would be similar to the workings of celebrity culture.”

And the tennis ace said: “There can be moments for any of us where we are dealing with issues behind the scenes. Each of us as humans is going through something on some level.”

He told Closer magazine: “Harry and Meghan seem to think they can co-exist in these two worlds – the world of British royals and American celebrity.

American TV host, Oprah Winfrey was spotted sitting on a bench almost identical to the one in Meghan Markle’s picture book during her bombshell interview. 

A royal expert reckons the seat could well be the one the duchess gifted Prince Harry on his first Father’s Day which inspired her children’s story – and it all seems to add up.

Royal commentator Adam Helliker said: “Considering Harry gave up so much, the actual amount of stuff the removal lorry took was quite small.

“There was only one small load as they were starting afresh.

“Would there have been room in that lorry for the bench? I think so.”
