Meghan Markle’s Exes Reveal Her Past Relationships

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has had a string of exes before she met Prince Harry.

Her exes range from pop stars to sportsmen, and relationship expert Annabelle Knight decodes their appeal and reveals exactly what they say about the woman who captured Prince Harry's heart.

Before Meghan met the Duke of Sussex, she sent online messages to X Factor star Matt Cardell and asked to meet up.

The actress complimented the handsome singer just before his award-winning role in the West End musical Memphis, as they struck up a previously unknown online relationship.

Meghan was spending time in the UK looking to meet a British man, and it was reported that he was bowled over by her attention, which she could have found flattering.

Actor and screenwriter Sean Zarkin had a six-month romance with Meghan in 2003, and according to Annabelle, was her mirror image as they were in the same line of work.

The pair had both attended Chicago's Northwestern University and both had ambitions to make it in Hollywood, Meghan's hometown.

Sean would practice his audition lines with her, but when he did not want the commitment she craved, they split up.

Annabelle said because of their parallels, they tended to clash, sometimes resulting in very public rows.

During Meghan's first year at university in Chicago, she fell for strapping college basketball star Steve LaPaul.

She would gush to pals about her tall, dark, handsome All-American boyfriend, and Annabelle said Meghan was keen to secure a place in the upper echelons of popularity with Steve.

A source told The Sun that she was moving into a new world from LA and being able to land a guy who was already settled and popular was important for her.

She was very proud of having landed this handsome guy and happy to share photos of him.

Canadian chef Corey Vitiello is said to have dated Meghan Markle between 2014 and 2016.

The pair split in May 2016, with The Telegraph reporting that Meghan was still with Corey when she first met Harry as the prince visited Canada to promote the Invictus Games in May 2016.

Chefs are often passionate people, and this passion could have been extremely attractive to Meghan.

He would have brought out her down-to-earth side and helped to nurture the karma aspects of her character.

Meghan and her first husband Trevor began dating in 2004, became engaged in 2010, and married in September 2011.

Annabelle said his career choice would have been a bonus for Meghan as an aspiring actress.

Their relationship could have led Meghan to hone her desire for success and most certainly would have provided her with new types of opportunities and contacts.

However, Meghan's past relationships have also revealed some interesting insights into her personality.

According to Annabelle, Meghan tended to clash with Sean Zarkin because of their similarities, and he bought out her feisty side and fiery nature.

Steve LaPaul was used as a currency for Meghan's progression, and she aimed her sights high and didn't fail to meet her target.

In other news, royal experts warn that Prince Harry seems to have been completely taken over by Meghan Markle.

Royal author Tina Brown made this claim during her interview with The Telegraph, touching on Meghan Markle's impact on Prince Harry and branding it a really sad thing.

She also accused the Duchess of turning Prince Harry into someone that's so emotionally needy that he's been completely and utterly taken over by Meghan, and his whole personality has changed.

It's a really sad thing to a great many people, she further added during the course of her interview.

In conclusion, Meghan Markle's past relationships reveal a lot about her personality and what she looks for in a partner.

Her exes range from pop stars to sportsmen, and each relationship has brought out a different side of her.

While some relationships have ended in heartbreak, Meghan has always aimed high and succeeded in achieving her goals.

However, her impact on Prince Harry has been a topic of discussion among royal experts, with many warning of a powerful co-dependency.
