Andy Cohen has admitted his one regret during his time on Watch What Happens Live - and it's to do with Meghan Markle.

The presenter revealed he wishes he had invited the Duchess of Sussex to the show before her days in the Royal Family.

Andy, 54, welcomes guests from some of the most popular series on television as well as other famous faves to talk about the current goings-on in the world of showbiz.

And the executive producer of Bravo's Real Housewives franchise has revealed he should have asked Meghan to join him during her time on hit legal drama Suits.

He explained in his new book titled Daddy Diaries that the actress had revealed herself as a fan of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

However, despite appearing keen to be a part of the chat, Andy decided she wouldn't be a good fit at that time and has now branded his decision a "huge mistake".

He further explained his reasoning behind the "shun", saying he always thought Meghan's show looked like "some simulation of a TV show to me, like it was shot on tape and broadcast in a vacuum".

Despite ignoring her request, Andy did manage to make amends with the 41-year-old in the years that followed, becoming one of three male guests on her podcast titled Archetypes.

During his chat with Meghan on the podcast, he proudly used a famous line from her Oprah Winfrey interview: "Were you silent, or silenced?"

However, he was disappointed when she had no clue what he was referring to.

Meghan has gone on to be firmly in the public eye in recent years with the latest controversy being her no-show at the King's Coronation.

The special ceremony took place on the day her son Archie turned four, leaving her husband Prince Harry to fly to the UK solo.

The Duke of Sussex wasted no time in returning to his stateside home however and was quickly back on a plane following the event.

He didn't hang around for the evening sessions or the Coronation Concert a day later, which featured stars including Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Take That.
