Meghan Markle’s split from Trevor Engelson was quite ‘empowering’

October 10, 2020 by Arhama Altaf

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are the centres of discussion among fans since their split from the Royal dignitaries.

At the time of Meghan Markle’s marriage with Prince Harry, her unsuccessful marriage became a hot topic globally.

However, to file a divorce abruptly and leave her first husband, Hollywood producer Trevor Engelson, was quite an empowering step towards her future.

In Andrew Morton’s books titled, Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, a friend was cited claiming that the couple’s split was quite sudden and had appeared out of nowhere.

It was claimed in the book that the divorce was so “out of the blue” that the Duchess of Sussex had sent her diamond wedding as well as engagement rings back to Engelson through mail, as she lived in Toronto while he stayed in New York.

Later, actor Abby Wathen had said in a documentary titled Prince Harry and Meghan: Truly madly deeply, that the decision to end her marriage was quite ‘empowering’ for Markle.

“We both went through a divorce, so we bonded over that too. I was destroyed and she was empowered. She took her power back. It wasn’t the right relationship for her, so she moved on,” recalled Wathen.
