A former pal of Meghan Markle says she regrets introducing her to Prince Harry, saying "it's all my fault." Lizzie Cundy added that she first met the American actress at a pre-dinner for a charity in 2013 and they got on like a house on fire - and them became good friends after meeting up again.
WAG Lizzie claims that Duchess of Sussex told her that she would "love an English boyfriend". The 54-year-old originally tried to set Meghan up with Ashley Cole but that didn't quite work out.
So she then introduced the actor to the Duke of Sussex and the pair soon formed a relationship, writes The Mirror. As the couple are set to release an explosive documentary on Netflix today, Lizzie has given her two cents on their latest venture.
Speaking to OK! magazine at the TRIC Christmas Lunch, Lizzie shared her regret at matchmaking the Prince with the former Suits star, as she said: "I wish I never introduced Harry [to her.] It’s all my fault! I’m sorry Camilla. I’m sorry everyone!"
She also accused them of "bringing down the monarchy", adding: "This could have been screened when the Queen was alive and I feel they’re just trying to ruin her 70 years of amazing work. I feel like they’ve got to get their own identity – stop whinging, stop moaning."
Lizzie and Meghan were good friends at first but now Lizzie claims she has been "ghosted" by Meghan. She has been critical of the pair in the past, and vowed to watch the documentary - although she admits she is "appalled" by it.
In the trailer for the explosive documentary, Harry holds his head in his hands as a heavily pregnant Meghan stands in the background and he says, "it's a dirty game", whilst he also adds: "The pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution this feeding frenzy" while pictures of his late mother Princess Diana being hounded by photographers can be seen as well as the Princess of Wales Kate.
The trailer then features a shot of Harry and Meghan looking alarmed as they sit in a car before Meghan adds: "I realised they are never going to protect you." She is then seen crying again while Harry explains: "I was terrified, I did not want history to repeat itself."
As part of the trailer, there is also a photo of the royal family at Trooping the Colour in 2019 which appears and Harry says: "There is a hierarchy in the family. You know, there's leaking but there is also planting of stories."
The trailer ends with Harry ominously claiming: “No one knows the full truth. We know the full truth.”
The docuseries will be released in two parts this month, with volume one (episodes 1 to 3) dropping today, December 8, and Volume 2 on December 15 (episodes 4 to 6).
