Meghan Markle’s Attempt to Date British Footballer Ashley Cole

Meghan Markle, the wife of Prince Harry, had her eyes set on another British hunk before she settled down with the prince.

According to reports, Meghan was interested in Ashley Cole, a British footballer, and kept asking people about him when she visited London years ago.

However, she was repeatedly told that he was not a good person and bad news.

There were theories that Meghan wanted to be part of the Beckham crowd, as there are many pictures of Beckham and Cole out there that could have caught her attention.

Lizzie Cundey, a matchmaker, revealed that she tried to set up Meghan with Ashley Cole in 2013 after Meghan expressed her desire to have an English boyfriend.

Cundey stated that Meghan loved London and wanted to date someone from the UK.

She tried her best to find a suitable match for Meghan, but Ashley Cole was not interested.

Cundey said that Meghan was open about her desire for fame, and she had a sparkle and magic about her.

However, she did not understand how hard it would be to achieve fame.

Ashley Cole, on the other hand, denied ever exchanging messages with Meghan, despite her interest in him.

His friends even boasted about her chasing him.

In 2013, Meghan showed a photo of Ashley Cole to a UK journalist and asked for her opinion on him, according to The Mail on Sunday.

It is unclear why Meghan was so interested in Ashley Cole, but it is possible that she saw him as a way to get closer to the royal family.

Beckham was also a goal for her to achieve, as he is a close friend of the royals.

Despite Meghan's unsuccessful attempt to date Ashley Cole, she eventually found love with Prince Harry.
