Unsurprisingly, one person who didn’t feature in Meghan and Harry’s new documentary is the Duchess’s ex-husband, Trevor Engelson.
Trevor, a 44-year-old American television producer, dated Meghan, 41, for seven years before the pair married in 2011.
They were married for two years before separating and were divorced by August 2013, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’, with sources previously claiming they grew apart when Meghan took a new role on Suits, two months before their wedding.
Both are now remarried and have children, with Trevor and his new wife Tracey Kurland welcoming two babies since their marriage in October 2018 – just months after Harry and Meghan’s royal wedding.

Born in New York on October 1976, Trevor completed his studies at University of South California’s School of Communication and started out in the film industry as a productionassistant before becoming a producer.
Trevor has produced the likes of License to Wed, Heathers, Snowfall and All About Steve and also manages screenwriters, actors, novelists and film directors in LA.
He is thought to have mentored Meghan when she first entered the film industry and was responsible for her cameo in the Robert Pattinson film Remember Me in 2010.
When was he with Meghan?
The couple met in a bar in West Hollywood in 2004 and had been together for six years when Meghan got her break as Rachel Zane in Suits.
A book out this year by Tom Bower, titled Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, says the first years of the relationship were blissful, with Meghan barely able to ‘keep her hands off’ her boyfriend and nicknaming him ‘Trevity-Trev-Trev.’
He proposed in Belize and they tied the knot on September 10, 2011 at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios, Jamaica before having a four day celebration.
The wedding ceremony is thought to have had 102 guests and it was over in 15 minutes before they took to the dance floor, eager to party.

Why did they split?
Meghan landed her break as Rachel Zane in Suits in the same year the couple wed.
giving them a ‘very difficult start to married life’, according to a source who spoke to Woman’s Day magazine.
The insider said: ‘Meghan landed her role in Suits just a few months before they married.
‘And despite being together for six years before getting hitched, things started to fall apart not long after the wedding.’
Her new job saw her move 2,000 miles away from LA to Toronto, where the show was filmed, and she reportedly decided to stay even after filming had ended.

‘Leaving Los Angeles and Trevor, Meghan told the producers, was not a downside,’ Bower wrote.
‘Although Meghan could commit herself to Trevor, she did not like being possessed.’
He added: ‘If necessary, Suits was her get-out card from the relationship.’
A friend added: ‘It put a strain on the relationship. Trevor was in LA making movies, Meghan was in another country five hours’ flight away and it simply took its toll.’
Royal biographer Andrew Morton claims in Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, that she posted back her wedding and engagement rings to Trevor after ending their marriage ‘out of the blue’.
