Meghan’s ex-husband marries US heiress

THE former husband of Meghan Markle remarried this weekend almost a year after his former wife became royalty.

As the Duchess of Sussex was enjoying the heady days of new motherhood with Prince Harry by her side, on the other side of the world Trevor Engelson was also beginning a new chapter.

The Hollywood producer and director, 42, who married Markle in 2011 before they divorced two years later, wed Tracey Kurland, a 31-year-old nutritionist and heiress to a multi-milliondollar fortune.

The couple chose the Rosewood Miramar Beach resort in Montecito, near Santa Barbara, California, for their big day.

They have been together since 2017 and got engaged last June on a trip to the wine region of Napa Valley.

According to guests who circulated photos on social media, they said their vows outdoors under a canopy of white roses and fairy lights on Saturday evening. The bride chose a traditional, offthe-shoulder gown and the bridegroom wore a tuxedo.

Guests were served oysters, Caesar salad and vegan burgers.

An unnamed source told the US television show Entertainment Tonight: “It couldn’t have been more different than the royal wedding. This was not stuffy! It was fun and casual and absolutely beautiful.

“Everyone was having the best time, especially Trevor and Tracey.”

Mr Engelson and Ms Markle married at a beach resort in Jamaica. But two years later they divorced, citing irreconcilable differences.

According to excerpts from Andrew Morton’s book Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, the marriage ended suddenly in August 2013 – “so abruptly that Meghan sent her wedding and engagement rings back to Trevor by registered post”.

Another source confirmed the split had come “totally out of the blue” after the actress moved to Canada for the filming of Suits.
