Meghan Markle's Ex-Husband Is Making a TV Show About Being Left for a Prince
In perhaps the pettiest move in the history of petty moves, Deadline reports Meghan Markle’s ex-husband, Snowfall producer Trevor Engelson, is making a scripted comedy series about a man whose wife leaves him for a prince. Yup.
It’s important to note this TV show is, indeed, a work of fiction, and Engelson and Markle divorced in 2013—long before she and Prince Harry started dating. Plus, an element of this new series is how the ex-husband shares custody of his kids with the Royal Family, and Markle and Engleson don’t have children.
That said, Deadline reports the idea originated from a conversation Engleson had with another producer, Dan Farah, about what it’d be like if he and Markle did have kids, and he had to share custody with the British Royal Family. Interesting.
Here’s the premise of the series, directly quoted from Deadline‘s story: “Divorce is hard. Sharing custody is harder. Sharing custody with the British Royal family when your wife marries a prince, in the unforgiving spotlight of London’s tabloid media, is next level.”
Markle reportedly has no involvement in the show, further driving home the point that it’s completely fiction. Engleson and Farah are producing alongside Jake Kasdan, one of the masterminds behind New Girl. So, in other words, expect some serious laughs.
There’s no launch date set for the series, but it’s expected to air on Fox. We recommend everyone who’s obsessed with the Royal Family keep a close eye on it, though.
Markle’s relationship with Prince Harry has been meticulously documented over the last few months. We’re a couple,” she told Vanity Fair. “We’re in love. I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time. This is for us. It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours. But we’re happy. Personally, I love a great love story.”
