Explosive Meghan Markle documentary reveals real reason she split from first husband

A new bombshell documentary about Meghan Markle has lifted the lid on her life before she met Prince Harry .

TV actress Meghan, 37, recently gave birth to the couple's first child, Archie, who arrived a year after their glitzy royal wedding.

It's the second marriage for the now Duchess of Sussex, after divorcing her first husband, Hollywood producer Trevor Engelson, in 2013.

She rarely speaks about her doomed first marriage, but a new Channel 5 takes a look at what drove the pair apart.

After tying the knot in Jamaica in 2011, the pair split citing irreconcilable differences just two years later.
