Before Meghan Markle married Prince Harry in their luxurious royal wedding, she was a young actress who enjoyed a “care-free” lifestyle. Although she was born in American, Meghan enjoyed spending time in London.

During one of her trips overseas, she befriended a local, who recently claimed, the Duchess of Sussex had a wild side before she met Prince Harry.

In a new interview, Meghan’s former pal Lizzie Cundy spilled details about her friendship with the “Suits” star.

Cundy, who met Meghan prior to her relationship with Prince Harry, told Fabulous Digital the actress enjoyed hanging out with friends and getting into trouble.

“She was just a real girl’s girl, great fun. She was someone you’d have a really good time with on a night. She likes a drink, likes a gossip, loves to talk about boyfriends, men and all the girly stuff,” she said.

“She was the most care-free, wanted a good time, didn’t mind being a bit naughty, and having a giggle. We got on like a house on fire,” Cundy continued.

Meghan reportedly enjoyed her visits to London and felt at home whenever she traveled to the UK. Cundy claimed she encouraged the former actress to join the “Made in Chelsea” cast, but Meghan didn’t feel she would be happy on a reality series.

“She liked Chelsea, that sort of set, and she got into the ‘Made in Chelsea’ lot. I suggested she should be on the show. Yes, she liked to drink, she liked that side of things for sure. She wasn’t that type of person who was like I’m just drinking water I need to go home early,” Cundy explained.

“She was out staying late, having a dance, enjoying it,” she added.

Along with fun nights out, Meghan was never shy about chatting up attractive men. “She was flirty, playful, giggly, just fun. She was sweet with it, not pushy or forward, the opposite of some of the girls you see in Love Island. Very sweet with it and had a charm about her,” Cundy claimed.

“I think she was slightly more free pre-Harry. She was very much into her charity work and women’s rights, but I think she was more care-free.”

Nowadays, Meghan is still adjusting to her new life with Prince Harry and their son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Since giving birth to her baby boy, Meghan has stepped away from the royal spotlight to spend time with the newborn.

Although the palace hasn’t announced when Meghan will begin making public appearances, she is expected to return to her royal duties in the fall.
