THE real Meghan Markle probably had her mind on other things yesterday (Sunday) – she was about to tell the world she is to marry Prince Harry.

But the next best thing was on hand to switch on the Christmas lights in Primrose Hill, as Kathryn Drysdale – who plays Ms Markle in TV comedy show The Windsors – pressed the button.

Ms Drysdale, who also starred in Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps, brought some showbiz sparkle to the annual event alongside singer-songwriter Colletee Cooper. After a day of fun in Regent’s Park Road, they was counted in by Conservative councillor Jonny Bucknell on the mic.
