Meghan Markle’s former friend has slammed her and Prince Harry’s decision to turn their backs on the royal family, saying the pair “had it all” before moving to the US.
TV presenter Lizzie Cundy, who struck up a friendship with the Duchess of Sussex in 2013, branded the duo “complete failures” who “blew it” by skipping out on royal life.
“They whinge, they moan, they criticize and they are not very grateful. They had it all,” Cundy told GB News.
Cundy, who no longer boasts a friendship with the “Suits” alum, expressed her frustration about the couple’s absence from Saturday’s Trooping the Colour ceremony — before it emerged that they weren’t invited.
“Watching Trooping the Colour today, I get the sense they really missed out. They really blew it,” she said of the pair. “The only thing they are good at is spending money.”
As for her ill-fated friendship with the As Ever founder, Cundy said Markle severed ties after she met the “Spare” author in 2016.
“I was a dating service for Meghan Markle and she ghosted me,” Cundy said, suggesting that she had previously assisted Markle in her romantic life.
“She didn’t answer me back when she got with Prince Harry. I didn’t work for her again and I can understand why people are leaving her.”
The Post has reached out to reps for the Sussexes for comment.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were notably absent from Saturday’s royal ceremony after it had emerged that they did not receive an invitation.
This marked the third year in a row that the pair has been left out of royal festivities amid their ongoing feud with the Windsor clan.
The last time Markle, 43, and the Invictus Games founder, 40, attended the military parade was when they celebrated the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022. But even then, they were forced to watch from a separate balcony alongside other nonworking royals.
The Sussexes have been kept at arm’s length following Her Majesty’s death in September 2022 and Charles’ ascension to the throne.
This year’s event was a defining moment for King Charles as he showed up despite dealing with ongoing health issues.
His Majesty sent a message of unity by attending his celebration and standing in front of the British public while still undergoing cancer treatment after revealing his diagnosis in February 2024.
