Her first marriage lasted for two years and the two dated for seven years before tying the knot.
When it’s Meghan Markle, we know it would be spicy news. She married the prince of the UK and we can say they live a happy life as a couple away from England. Meghan had a real roller-coaster life starting as an actress and ending up as the prince’s wife.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to step away from the royal family and they have been in dispute for two years. It looks like things are beginning to cool off.
Their story started in 2016 when Harry was in love and a couple of months later, he took her to meet the Queen. Since she began to date Harry, swapped her career to adapt to royal life and no more than 12 months later they announced their engagement. They got married in May 2018.
Before the title of duces of Sussex, she was married to Trevor Engelson. He started the world of film working as a production assistant until he became a producer. They got married at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios in Jamaica, a great ceremony for almost three days.
After all this, they both started working in different sets, and Trevor never visited her at her work. She had to move to Canada because of the Suit show. Meghan now started a new life without him by herself.
Her life changed over the years she moved to Toronto because now she hung out with other celebrities which distanced her from Trevor. Their relationship was unclear.
78-Year-Old Woman Returns from Nursing Home to Her House – Only to Find a Mansion with Changed Locks in Its Place
Margaret left her home behind years ago, believing it would always be there waiting for her. But when the 78-year-old finally returned, her small house had vanished, replaced by a grand mansion with locked doors and a shocking secret inside.
I sat by the window, watching the garden outside. The roses were in bloom, swaying gently in the breeze. I liked to watch them.

I didn’t go outside much anymore—too cold some days, too hot on others. But the garden reminded me of something. Of home. Of the house I left behind.
I had a garden there once. A small one, just a patch of flowers by the porch. I didn’t know why I thought about it so much these days. Maybe because there wasn’t much else to think about.

The nursing home was quiet. Too quiet. The nurses came and went, always smiling, always polite. The other residents shuffled past my door, some talking to themselves, some staring blankly at the floor.
My children left me long ago. First my daughter, who moved across the country. She sent letters at first, then holiday cards, then nothing at all.

My son, David, left next. He got married, started a family, and never looked back. I used to wonder what I did wrong. I didn’t wonder anymore.
I made my choice years ago to leave the house and move here. It was easier than living alone. I still had the key, though. It sat in my bedside drawer. Sometimes, I held it in my palm, feeling its weight. It was warm, even though it shouldn’t have been.

One afternoon, as I sat staring out the window, a nurse tapped my shoulder.
“Margaret, you have a visitor.”
I blinked. “A visitor?”
She nodded, smiling. I didn’t get visitors. Not anymore. My hands trembled as I pushed myself up from the chair.
And then I saw him.

David.
He stood in the doorway, hands in his pockets, looking older than I remembered. His hair had grayed at the edges, his face lined in ways it hadn’t been before. But it was him. After 30 years, it was him.
“Mom,” he said softly.
I didn’t know what to say.

“I—I hope it’s okay that I came,” he continued. “I just… I wanted to see you.”
I gripped the arms of my chair. My heart pounded, but my voice came out steady. “Why now?”
He sighed, looking down. “My wife left me. Took the kids. I—” He rubbed a hand over his face. “I spent years building a life with her, and now it’s gone. And it made me think about you. About how I left you.”

I swallowed hard. “That was a long time ago.”
“I know,” he said. “And I’m sorry, Mom. I should’ve come back sooner.”
Silence stretched between us. I wasn’t sure what to feel. Anger? Sadness? Relief?
“I don’t know what to say to you,” I admitted.
“I don’t expect you to say anything,” he said quickly. “I just… I want to make things right.”

I didn’t answer.
After a moment, he pulled something from behind his back—a bouquet of daisies. My favorite.
“I remembered,” he said, offering a small, uncertain smile.
I took them, brushing my fingers over the petals.
“Thank you,” I whispered.

He started visiting after that. Not every day, but often. Sometimes he brought flowers. Other times, books he thought I might like. We sat together and talked a little. At first, our words were careful, like stepping over broken glass. But over time, it got easier.
One day, he took me to the park. We sat on a bench and watched the ducks in the pond.
“Do you remember the old house?” I asked, glancing at him.

He hesitated. “Yeah. I remember.”
“I’d like to see it again,” I said. “Just once.”
He shook his head. “No, Mom.”
I frowned. “Why not?”
“It’s just… it’s not the same anymore.”

That was all he said. And no matter how many times I asked, he always gave the same answer.
No, Mom.
I didn’t understand. But one way or another, I intended to find out.
One afternoon, after David left, I decided I wouldn’t wait any longer. I put on my best coat, slipped my old house key into my pocket, and left the nursing home without telling anyone.

At the bus stop, I counted my change carefully. I hadn’t taken a bus in years. The ride felt longer than I remembered, every stop stretching time. My hands gripped my purse tightly as I watched the familiar streets pass by. Houses I used to know looked different—some painted with new colors, some with fresh gardens, some completely unrecognizable.
Finally, the bus stopped near my old neighborhood. I stepped off, my heart pounding.

As I walked down the street, memories flooded my mind—playing children, barking dogs, the sound of a lawnmower in the distance. My feet knew the way, leading me to the place I had left behind.
But when I arrived, I froze.
My house was gone.

In its place stood a grand mansion—tall, beautiful, and nothing like what I had left behind. The porch was bigger, the windows gleamed, and a lush, flowering garden surrounded the entire property.
I stared, my breath caught in my throat.
This couldn’t be right.

With trembling fingers, I pulled out my key and stepped onto the porch. My hands shook as I tried to fit the key into the lock. It didn’t fit. I jiggled it, tried again. Nothing.
Someone had changed the locks.
Panic rose in my chest.
I pounded on the door. “Hello?” My voice was weak, swallowed by the quiet street. “Who’s in there? This is my house!”

No answer.
I stumbled back, heart racing. Someone had stolen my home. I pulled my phone from my purse and dialed 911.
“Emergency services. What’s your emergency?”
“My house,” I gasped. “Someone took my house. I—I came home, and it’s gone. It’s different. The locks are changed. Someone’s inside.”

The operator asked me questions I barely registered. My hands shook as I explained, over and over, that this was my home, that something was wrong.
Minutes later, a police car pulled up. Two officers stepped out, their expressions calm, careful.
“What seems to be the problem, ma’am?”
Before I could answer, the front door of the mansion opened.

David stepped outside.
I stared at him, my chest tightening.
He looked startled, then sighed, rubbing his forehead.
“Mom?”
The officers turned to him. “Sir, do you live here?”

He nodded. “Yes. This is my home.”
I gasped, stepping back. “What does this mean? You—you took my house?” My voice cracked, shaking with anger and confusion. “You stole it from me! Changed it! Sold it?”
David’s face fell. “Mom, no, I didn’t sell it.” He let out a deep breath. “You… ruined the surprise.”
I blinked. “What?”

He walked toward me, hands outstretched. “I wasn’t going to tell you until it was done. I—I rebuilt the house, Mom. I kept the foundation, but I expanded it. I made it bigger, stronger. I restored it. And the garden—” He gestured to the flowers. “I planted all your favorites. The same ones you used to have.”
I couldn’t speak. My chest ached, too full of emotions I couldn’t name.

“I wanted to bring you back when everything was perfect,” he said. “I wanted it to be a gift.”
I stared at the house—at my home, changed yet still standing, and tears blurred my vision.
David took a step closer. His face was filled with regret.
“I’m sorry, Mom,” he said softly. “For leaving you. For waiting so long to come back. For not telling you sooner.” His voice broke. “I never should’ve stayed away.”

I swallowed hard. The anger inside me faded, replaced by something else—something heavier.
“I thought you forgot about me,” I whispered.
He shook his head. “I never forgot. I just didn’t know how to come back.” He glanced at the house. “But I wanted to give you this. A home. Our home.” He hesitated, then added, “Come back, Mom. Live here. You don’t have to stay in that nursing home anymore.”

I looked at the house, really looked at it this time. The walls were new, but the bones were the same. The porch where I used to sit, the windows that once held my curtains, the steps that led to the front door—it was different, but it was still mine. And the garden… oh, the garden. Roses, daisies, lavender, and lilacs. Everything I had ever loved, blooming in the sunlight.
Tears slipped down my cheeks. “You did all this for me?”

David nodded. “I wanted you to have everything you dreamed of.”
I let out a shaky breath. “Then I suppose I should see what the inside looks like.”
His face lit up. “I’ll make us some tea.”
A little while later, we sat together on the porch, steaming cups in our hands. The scent of flowers filled the air, and for the first time in years, I felt home.

David smiled at me. “You happy, Mom?”
I looked at him, at my son, my house, my garden.
“Yes,” I said. “I am.”
