Meghan Markle’s Ex-Husband Speaks Out for the First Time About the Birth of Lilibet
In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle’s ex-husband, Trevor Engelson, has broken his long-held silence and spoken publicly for the first time about Meghan’s life as a mother—specifically, the birth of her second child, Princess Lilibet Diana.
Trevor, a Hollywood producer and Meghan’s first husband, has largely stayed out of the spotlight since their divorce in 2013. For years, he has refused to comment on Meghan’s royal life or her marriage to Prince Harry. However, in a recent interview for an upcoming documentary focused on the untold stories behind the royal headlines, Trevor offered rare and personal reflections that have caught the attention of royal watchers around the world.
“I never thought I’d be speaking about this publicly,” he began, his tone calm but contemplative. “But when I saw the news about Lilibet being born, something in me paused. It made me reflect on who Meghan was when I knew her and the incredible path her life has taken.”
Trevor emphasized that while their relationship ended years ago, he harbors no resentment toward Meghan. “We were young. We loved each other in our own way. But life took us in different directions. I’m not here to criticize or dig up the past,” he said. “But I think it’s okay to acknowledge that when someone you once cared about becomes a mother, it touches something human in you—even if you’ve both moved on.”
When asked if he was surprised by Meghan becoming a royal and starting a family with Prince Harry, Trevor responded with a smile: “Honestly, yes. I always knew Meghan was driven, but I never imagined she’d be part of the royal family one day. That’s something you can’t script—even in Hollywood.”
Regarding Lilibet specifically, Trevor’s comments were reflective and respectful. “I saw a photo of Harry holding her, and she looked peaceful. It made me happy in a way I didn’t expect. No matter what’s happened between Meghan and me, I truly wish their children love, stability, and the kind of family support every kid deserves.”
He also touched on the public pressures surrounding Meghan’s life. “She’s under a microscope constantly. It’s not something most people can relate to. I think that’s why I’ve stayed quiet all these years—it’s not my story to tell anymore.”
Despite years of silence, Trevor’s brief remarks have ignited widespread media coverage and sparked discussion across social media. Some applaud him for his mature and gracious tone, while others speculate that his decision to speak now signals a shift in the wider narrative surrounding Meghan and her former life.
As for Meghan and Harry, no official comment has been made regarding Trevor’s statements. However, royal insiders suggest the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are focused on their family life in California and are unlikely to respond.
In the ever-evolving story of the Sussexes, one thing is clear: even voices from the past can still echo in the present.
