In 2016, two years before Meghan Markle walked into St George’s Chapel to marry Prince Harry, her ex-husband Trevor Engelson reportedly made a striking prediction about her future. The claim resurfaced this week and has quickly drawn attention, not only because of its timing but because of how confidently it was allegedly delivered.

A Look Back at Meghan and Engelson’s History

Before her royal chapter began, Meghan was married to American film producer and literary manager Trevor Engelson. They met in 2004 when she was twenty three and he was twenty eight. After seven years of dating, they married at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios. By 2013 the marriage had ended quietly, with both citing irreconcilable differences and completing a no fault divorce.

Three years later, Meghan was living and working in Toronto while filming Suits. That same year, she was introduced to Prince Harry on a blind date at Soho House in London. The connection was immediate. Within weeks she had joined Harry on a charity trip to Botswana, a moment both later described as a turning point in their relationship.

The Alleged Prediction

According to reality star Bethenny Frankel, who shared the story on The Toast podcast, she became friendly with Engelson around the time rumors first suggested that Meghan and Harry were secretly dating. Frankel recalled that Engelson mentioned his ex had been on a show called Suits. At the time she had no idea who Meghan was.
