*Meghan Markle’s ex husband, producer Trevor Engelson, didn’t look far to find inspiration for his next project.
According to Deadline.com, he’s developing a comedy at Fox about a woman who leaves her husband to be with a British prince.
“Divorce is hard. Sharing custody is harder when an ex-wife marries a British prince. Sharing custody with the British Royal family in the unforgiving spotlight of London’s tabloid media is next level,” reads the official premise of Engelson’s project he’s pitching to Fox.
Markle, currently dating Prince Harry of Wales, was married to Engelson from 2011 to 2013. Although the exes in the series are sharing custody of kids, the two did not have any children in real life.
The show will be produced by Engelson, 40, as well as “Modern Family’s” Danny Zuker, “New Girl’s” Jake Kasdan and “The Shannara Chronicles’s” Dan Farah.
According to Deadline, a conversation did take place between Trevor and Dan about “what would’ve been if Engelson and Markle had kids and he had to share custody with the British Royal family one day.” So, they thought, why not make it a TV comedy?
Meghan and Harry have been dating since 2016, and last month she opened up about their relationship for the first time, referring to him as her “boyfriend” in a new interview. “I can tell you that at the end of the day I think it’s really simple,” she told Vanity Fair. “We’re two people who are really happy and in love. We were very quietly dating for about six months before it became news, and I was working during that whole time, and the only thing that changed was people’s perception. Nothing about me changed. I’m still the same person that I am, and I’ve never defined myself by my relationship.”
BTW, there are reports that Meghan, 37, may make her first official appearance with Harry, 33, this weekend at the 2017 Invictus games in Canada.
