Moment Meghan Markle tells Lizzie Cundy she wants to 'stick around in the UK for a while' in 2013 interview

She is the US actress who married into British royalty.

Now, in new reports, TV star Lizzie Cundy claims that the Duchess of Sussex asked her to find her "a famous British man" just months before meeting Harry.

Cundy, 50, reportedly struck up a friendship with Meghan Markle after being asked to accompany her to a charity dinner in 2013.

But Cundy says she was "literally ghosted" by Meghan after her relationship with Harry began in 2016.

In this interview from 2013 conducted by Cundy at the Global Gift Gala philanthropic event at the ME Hotel in London, it's clear that Meghan has always had a soft spot for the UK and even jokes that she wants "to stick around for a while."

Introduced by Cundy as "the hottest girl in the US," Markle was in London at the time to promote her hit TV drama "Suits."

She beams: "I've had the best time in London. The fans are amazing!"

"It is very cold but the people are so warm, as cheesy as that sounds. I was joking that I've never been called 'love' or 'darling' more in my life so it makes me want to stick around for a while."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex celebrated their first wedding anniversary after getting married at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018.

The pair welcomed Archie Harrison Windsor to the family in April 2019.

Cundy reveals details of her friendship with Meghan in her autobiography "Tales From The Red Carpet," published on May 20.
