Before the wedding to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle was married once.
Her ex settles accounts with today's Duchess and reveals ugly details about the separation.
Los Angeles - It's hard to believe, but before Meghan Markle and her Prince Harry dominated the press reports, there was another man at the side of the former "Suits" actress for a while.
Trevor Engelson and Meghan Markle started dating in 2004 and were married in Ocho Rios in 2011.
In 2013, after only two years of marriage, they separated from the film producer.
Meghan Markle's ex-relationship broke up at a distance
In the new reveal book "Meghan: A Hollywood Princess" by Andrew Morton, new details of the previous marriage now come to light.
Engelson's and Markle's marriage came under pressure when the current Duchess slowly became better known in Hollywood and moved to Toronto to shoot the series "Suits".
However, Engelson stayed in California.
Living in two different cities - not an easy task for the relationship.

Like “dirt under her shoe” - Markle's ex-husband got Ring back in the mail
Meghan Markle filed for divorce on the grounds of "irreconcilable differences".
She is said to have sent the diamond wedding and engagement ring back to her ex-husband by post, says royal biographer Andrew Morton.
Without explanation or personal conversation.
A move that had shocked Trevor Engelson.
He could "hardly hold back his anger," said Morton.
The ex-husband told a friend that instead of being valued, he felt like "dirt under her shoe".
In another revelatory book by Lady Colin Campbell with the title "Meghan and Harry - The real story", the author adds: Engelson is said to have traveled to Markle as often as possible - but she was said to have outgrown him, allegedly bothered his stagnant career and dress style.
