Meghan Markle’s ex-bestie Lizzie Cundy makes bombshell claim amid split rumours

A former friend has made new bombshell claims about Meghan Markle’s relationship with “lonely” Prince Harry.

A former friend has made bombshell claims about what’s really going on in Meghan Markle‘s relationship with Prince Harry amid rumours the couple have split.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s marriage has been under intense scrutiny following reports that their relationship is on the rocks.

It has been reported that the couple, who tied the knot in 2018, are trying a trial separation with Prince Harry sometimes opting to live at a hotel.

However, a friend of the couple has hit back at the rumours and said they’re “literally made up”.

The couple were said to have been “taking time apart”, but a source has said this is completely false. ”It’s not true, it’s literally made up,” they told Page Six.

Now, Meghan’s ex-bestie Lizzie Cundy has weighed in on the drama and what she believes will be the fate of their marriage.

“I don’t want to see any couples split up when any marriage falls apart. It’s sad, especially when you have children,” Cundy told the Mirror.

“(But) we could all see the writing was on the wall, it’s very different when you’re a celebrity princess than being a royal princess and frankly Meghan just wasn’t up for the job.”

The 55-year-old TV personality said the Duchess wasn’t a fit for “doing all the roles that royals do”, like opening hospitals for example.

“It’s not easy, it’s not glamorous, it’s not like on the red carpet,” she said.

“I think Meghan thought she was going to be the top dog star of the show and Princess Kate was always going to have that role.”

In Cundy’s opinion, a potential divorce would be “in some respects better for Harry”, with the TV personality urging the world to look at the relationship from his perspective.

“We’ve got to look at it from Harry’s side. He’s in California now, he’s got none of his friends. He’s got no family, he’s got a rift with his father and his brother, it must be very lonely at times,” she said.

The pair met back in 2013 when Cundy was asked to sit with the actress at a charity event held by British billionaire John Caudwell.
