Newly engaged Meghan Markle was once pursued by footballer Ashley Cole according to journalist Katie Hind.

Markle, who got engaged to Prince Harry last week, came close to going on a date with the ex-Arsenal, Chelsea and England left back who, as we all know was once married to X-Factor Judge, Cheryl Tweedy.

The new addition to the Royal Family had no idea who Cole was when she asked Hind her opinion on the highly decorated player. Hind revealed to Markle that Cole had been accused of being unfaithful, which was the main reason for the breakdown of his and Tweedy’s marriage.
