TV host Lizzie Cundy has revealed the very private text message Meghan Markle sent her after she had been on a date with Prince Harry.
Chatting to The Sun’s Fabulous, Ms Cundy said: “When I heard about Harry I said ‘what a catch’ and she said ‘yeah I know!’. People are saying she’s a social climber, but you want to be someone people look up to and you are proud to be on the arm of.”
She continued: “But I think good for her, she’s had the catch of the century.”
This isn’t the first time Ms Cundy has dished on her friendship with the Duchess of Sussex.
Earlier this year, the former model revealed Meghan was on the hunt for a ‘famous British man’ before she was introduced to Harry.
Ms Cundy, who met Meghan at a charity event in 2013, told The Sun: “We were having a girly chat and then she said, ‘Do you know any famous guys? I’m single and I really love English men.’
“So I said, ‘We’ll go out and find you someone.’
Ms Cundy went on to reveal that she actually had someone in mind for the former actress.
“I was thinking about some of the Chelsea lot and I thought of Ashley Cole as he’d split from Cheryl. I showed her a photo of Ashley and she was like ‘Oh yeah, he’s cute. Does he have a reputation?’ I was like, ‘Well, yeah, but you’re only here to have a bit of fun.'”
Ms Cundy says she kept in touch with Meghan until she met Harry in 2016.
“I texted saying, ‘Oh my god, I heard about Harry.’ And she was like, ‘Yeah I know. We’ll try and hook up.'”
But Ms Cundy admits that was the last she heard from Meghan, who went on to marry Harry at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018.
“She was probably told by the Palace to end contact with people she befriended in the media,” Ms Cundy continues.
“I was literally ghosted by her.”
