Meghan Markle tried to date another British hunk years before she settled down with Prince Harry.
An old friend of Harry’s now-wife, Lizzie Cundy, made the shocking revelation to Grazia.
Cundy told the outlet she tried to set up the 39-year-old Markle with the UK soccer player Ashley Cole in 2013.
She told the outlet, “Meghan said she loved London, and would love an English boyfriend, so I went through my phone to see who I knew that might be a good fit.”
“I tried to find her a boyfriend - Ashley Cole wasn’t so keen - but I did try to fix her up, which is funny looking back,” she added.
Cundy said she tried her hardest to get Cole into Markle but he wasn’t feeling it. However, she said it was clear why Prince Harry fell in love with her.
