Liza Minnelli Doesn’t Want Anyone To Think That She Knows Prince Harry And Meghan Markle

Well, this is awkward. Legendary Liza Minelli once said, “I was lucky enough to count Princess Di as a friend,” but now wants to make it clear that she has not, never, not once, met Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. Oh-kay.

Her extraordinary assertion comes after the UK paper Sun published an article stating that Harry had begun a friendship with Liza Minnelli. The iconic actress quickly let the world know that she knows nothing of Harry.

Liza Minelli Denies Knowing Prince Harry

Favorite Meghan reporter Omid Scobie pointed out on Twitter that Liza posted a link to the article on Facebook, with a message rebutting it.

Her post read, “While I wish them well, I have never met Prince Harry and Meghan. Any statement to the contrary is a complete fabrication.”

Obie was handpicked by the couple to tell their story in the upcoming book, Finding Freedom.

Liza Minelli Cherished Meeting The Late Princess Diana

The disputed article alleged that Liza herself reached out to Harry because she had been a friend of his mother, Princess Diana.

Liza has acknowledged knowing Diana and is quoted as saying, “I was first introduced to her when she came backstage after a concert I did in London. Then we’d bump into each other at premieres or events where she’d be the guest of honor. We’d fall into the conversation then we’d meet for tea… My instinct was to protect her. We talked about everything under the sun. She loved music.”

Liza Minelli Said She Wanted To Protect The Late Princess Diana After Meeting Her Backstage At A Concert

While Liza has apparently not met Harry, at least one of Diana’s friends has acknowledged meeting Harry and Meghan.

Elton John sang at the couple’s wedding reception, and at a later date allowed them to stay at his home in Nice, France.

Following the visit, the pair received attention for flying to the house by private jet. No doubt this was because Harry and Meghan have made it a point to lecture the world about reducing their carbon footprint while they merrily stomp about to their heart’s delight.

Elton felt it necessary to address the situation by saying, “Prince Harry’s mother, Diana Princess Of Wales was one of my dearest friends. I feel a profound sense of obligation to protect Harry and his family from the unnecessary press intrusion that contributed to Diana’s untimely death.”
