Meghan Markle’s former pal Lizzie Cundy has said she feel enormous regret for introducing the actress to Prince Harry, claiming “it’s all my fault.”
The WAG was speaking out ahead of the Sussexes bombshell Netflix documentary, which launches tomorrow, saying she was once close to Meghan and wishes she’s never introduced her to the eligible prince.
Lizzie, 54, met the Duchess of Sussex in 2013 at a pre-dinner for a charity event and the pair “got on like a house on fire.”

The mother-of-two now claims the Duchess had totally “ghosted” her.
Speaking to OK! magazine at the TRIC Christmas Lunch, Lizzie shared her regret at matchmaking the Prince with the former Suits actress, 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 claims she originally tried to set Meghan up with footy ace Ashley Cole but after that fell flat, she introduced the actress to the Duke of Sussex and the pair soon formed a relationship.
The star has made secret of her critique for the pair in the past, and vowed to watch their upcoming documentary despite being “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.
Though the doc has been accused of inaccuracies already after footage showing Meghan and Harry being hounded by paparazzi turned out to be footage of other celebrities, including Katie Price and Donald Trump’s former lawyer being followed by paps.
Another shot of a cluster of snappers was also taken from Harry Potter premiere, and had nothing to do with the pair.
