But while working his way over to the bar, Rob confessed that he “got distracted” watching a basketball game and was stood up by the Suits actress.

He added: “When I came back, she was gone.”

Rob admitted he’d completely forgotten about the encounter until Meghan announced her engagement to Prince Harry in November 2017.

He concluded: “Now she’s engaged to a damn PRINCE. The End.”
