Meghan Markle gushed she ‘loves London men’ and ‘wanted to meet someone’ before Harry, ex-pal Lizzie Cundy claims

MEGHAN Markle gushed she "loves London men" and "wanted to meet someone" before meeting Prince Harry, ex-pal Lizzie Cundy has claimed.

The US actress had struck up a friendship with the former model - with Cundy claiming Meghan made no secret of her preference for English men.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, she said:"We have a clip of her saying: "I want to be a London girl, I love London men and I love everything to do with London.

"I was asked to look after Meghan when she came over here. She wanted to meet someone."

However, she claimed she had been "dropped" by Meghan after her star began to rise.

Cundy first met Meghan after being asked to accompany her to a charity dinner in 2013.

And just three years later, Meghan met Prince Harry with the couple going on to tie the knot in 2018.

The couple first lived in London with Kate Middleton and Prince Harry but later moved to Windsor with reports they wanted to escape the "goldfish bowl" live of being a Royal.

But after barely 18 months of marriage the couple announced they would be quitting the Royal Family.

After a brief stint living in Canada, the couple have since settled in LA with their son Archie.

This year, they welcomed daughter Lilibet.

Since their move, Meghan and Harry have been busy, signing multi-million pound deals with Spotify and Netflix.

Meghan, who rose to stardom on the legal drama Suits, also voiced a Disney Plus documentary about Elephants before writing a picture book about the bond between father and son, The Bench.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry has tried his hand at writing a book - revealing he was preparing to release a memoir.

The book, written by a ghostwriter, is expected to see the 36-year-old duke be "wholly truthful".

But royal experts have warned the prince could be shredding any chance at reconciliation with his family with the memoir.
