It looks like things are still going smoothly for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who made their first official appearance together at Toronto’s Invictus Games earlier this weekend. Although I’m loving this relationship and rooting for it to last, Markle’s ex-husband Trevor Engelson might think differently. Cosmopolitan reports that Engelson, a film producer, is currently working on a Fox sitcom about the lead’s ex-wife marrying a British prince. Talk about shade.
The official announcement of the comedy emphasizes that the show is fictional, so the idea isn’t totally based on Markle and Engelson’s actual relationship. “Divorce is hard,” the show’s pitch reads. “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 and Engelson, who divorced in 2013 after less than two years of marriage, have no kids together, proving that the majority of the show will be fictional material. The idea allegedly came from a conversation between Engelson and a fellow producer about what could've happened if the couple did have children.
As long as these guys aren't trying to deny their source of inspiration, this show could be pretty interesting, but I wouldn't be surprised if it caught the attention of some lawyers before hitting the air.
