Meghan Markle’s journey to becoming a member of the British royal family has been marked by a series of controversies, but none more shocking than the revelations about the end of her first marriage. In a tell-all interview, Meghan’s former best friend of over 30 years, Ninaki Priddy, has lifted the veil on the “calculated” and “cold” way the Duchess-to-be allegedly handled the breakdown of her relationship with ex-husband Trevor Engelson.
Meghan and Ninaki, both now 36, had been inseparable since the age of two, growing up together in California and even traveling to Europe as teenagers. Ninaki, affectionately known as “Niki,” was the maid of honor at Meghan’s 2011 wedding to Engelson in Jamaica, a ceremony she describes as a “moving” and “beautiful” celebration of the couple’s love.
However, the friendship crumbled shortly after Meghan’s move to Toronto to film the hit TV series “Suits.”
According to Ninaki, Meghan’s decision to end her marriage with Engelson, just two years after their wedding, was a complete shock to everyone who knew them. “The way she handled it, Trevor definitely had the rug pulled out from under him. He was hurt,” Ninaki revealed. She also suggested that Meghan’s “strategic” and “calculated” approach to relationships led to the demise of the marriage, claiming that the Duchess-to-be could be “very cold” once she decided someone was no longer part of her life.
Ninaki’s disapproval of the way Meghan handled her divorce was the catalyst for the end of their own lifelong friendship. “After the wedding, it was like a light switched off. There’s Meghan Before Fame and Meghan After Fame,” Ninaki said, hinting at a perceived sense of “entitlement” that emerged in her former friend. The jewellery designer mourned the loss of their close-knit bond, describing it as “like a death” that she grieved for a long time.
As Meghan’s star continued to rise with her role on “Suits” and her high-profile relationship with Prince Harry, the shadows of her past have refused to fade away. The revelations about the end of her first marriage and the subsequent falling out with her childhood best friend have only added to the controversies surrounding the soon-to-be royal.
Despite these controversies, Meghan and Prince Harry’s royal wedding at Windsor Castle is set to be a grand affair, with Prince George and Princess Charlotte confirmed as part of the wedding party. The Kensington Palace spokesman has stated that the “wedding will be a family event” and that “you can expect the family to be involved.”

The revelations from her former best friend have only added fuel to the fire, leaving many wondering what other secrets the Duchess-to-be may be hiding.
