The woman who said Meghan Markle asked her for help finding an “English guy” before she met Prince Harry is speaking out about the Sussexes following the release of their Netflix documentary. According to British TV personality and commentator Lizzie Cundy, whom the former Suits star befriended at an event in London, Prince Harry will one day realize what a “massive mistake” he made in marrying Meghan Markle.

Here’s more on that and what Lizzie thinks would have to happen for the Duke of Sussex to be welcomed back into the royal fold.

Meghan ghosted her friend after she got engaged to Prince Harry

Lizzie met Meghan in 2013 when they were seated next to each other at a pre-dinner for a Caudwell Children charity event. She admitted that at the time she had no idea who Meghan was as she had never watched the show Suits. Lizzie and Meghan ended up becoming good friends and the future duchess told her that she would love an English boyfriend.

“We both had had breakups and a bit of a past, and she was asking lots of questions about mine,” Lizzie recalled. “She wanted kids and she wouldn’t mind an English guy.”

Lizzie told The Sun’s Fabulous Digital that when she heard Meghan was seeing the prince in 2016, she immediately texted her pal.

“When I heard about Harry I said, ‘What a catch,’” Lizzie remembered.

Meghan responded in agreement, writing, “Yeah I know!”  

However, their friendship didn’t last once Meghan and Harry got engaged.

Lizzie revealed that Meghan ghosted her, telling Grazia: “Once the ring was on the finger, I soon realized she was off Twitter and that her number wasn’t working. And that was it.”

Lizzie Cundy says Prince Harry will realize he made a ‘massive mistake’ marrying Meghan Markle

On an episode of TalkTV , Lizzie spoke about the couple and the claims the Sussexes have made against the royal family since stepping down.

“The only racist I know in the royal family was Harry, who wore the Nazi uniform!” Lizzie exclaimed (per Express).

When asked by host James Wales if she believed the duke and duchess would get divorced, Lizzie opined that she thinks Harry will wake up one day and realize what he’s done.

“I think [Harry] will suddenly think, ‘I have made a massive mistake.’ I do, because everything he was brought into, his family, he would have lost and I don’t think the Windsor brothers will ever get back from this,” she answered.

Lizzie Cundy also believes Harry will be welcomed back into the royal fold if he leaves Meghan

Continuing the conversation about the Sussexes, host Ash Gould interjected, “I hope their marriage lasts. But if it doesn’t, [Harry] will be welcomed back into the fold.”

Lizzie agreed that the prince would be welcomed back if that happened.

When James and Ash questioned if Meghan married Harry for money, Lizzie said, “No.”

She explained that she believed it was for love, but, “I don’t think when she got into the royal family it was what she thought. It is very different from being a Hollywood princess to a royal princess and I think she thought it was very different and it is hard work. And it is not always so exciting going to open up hospitals.”
