Why Meghan Markle Has The Royals On Edge

Her Past Is Even More Complicated Than Harry's

Prior to her relationship with Prince Harry, Markle was married to Trevor Engelson. The two met in 2004 and were together for 6 years before becoming engaged in 2010. After a wedding in 2011, the long-distance took a toll on their marriage and they split in 2013 citing "irreconcilable differences." Although marrying an American divorcee would seemingly never be approved by the monarchy.

It was impossible to determine who Prince Harry would end up with and it can't be denied there was a period of time where it didn't seem like he was ever going to follow the expectations of him, whether he was a Royal or not. Even with his unpredictable and rule-breaking ways, it still could never be predicted that he would end up engaged to not only an American but an actress, a divorcee.

It is abundantly clear both Harry and Meghan have learned from their separate yet equally complicated pasts.
