Find out what request the Duchess of Sussex had for her wedding guests when she married Trevor Engelson.

Before she married Prince Harry, Meghan Markle was married to another man, and some guests at that wedding remember a request the bride had that they found a bit odd.

Meghan met her first husband, Trevor Engelson, at a bar in 2004. The future duchess and movie producer dated for seven years before tying the knot in 2011, the same year Meghan began starring in the legal drama Suits. The show marked Meghan’s first major acting gig and when it came time for her nuptials, she had one request for every guest who was attending the destination wedding.

Express noted that in her book The Palace Papers, biographer Tina Brown quoted a guest who attended.

That person told Brown, “The only jarring [thing] is that Meghan sent out a note requesting ‘No social media, please.’ We were all laughing because she had been on Suits for a few months, and at that point, we were like, Is she kidding me? She was like, ‘I’m a really big actress.’”

As several guests pointed out, she wasn’t even that famous at the time.

As we know now, the couple’s marriage didn’t last. Meghan filed for divorce in 2013, citing “irreconcilable differences,” and that was finalized in 2014.

The former actress went on to marry Prince Harry in a highly publicized royal wedding in 2018. They share two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

In 2019, Engelson married Tracey Kurland at Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito, California (where the Sussexes now reside). Engelson and his wife have since welcomed three children together. Kurland is a nutritionist and a heiress. She inherited a fortune of over $200 million from her late father, Stanford Kurland, who founded the company PennyMac Corp.
