Wedding woe for Meghan’s matchmaker

PRINCE Harry and Meghan’s wedding in May is starting to prove problematic for their friends — in particular new York designer Misha nonoo.

‘It will be very awkward because Misha is going, as is her ex-husband Alex Gilkes,’ a close friend of the former couple tells me.

old Etonian Alex, 38, founder of online auction house Paddle8, is an old friend of William and Harry’s and split from Misha in 2016 after four years of marriage.

‘Alex is actually the reason Misha was even able to set them up,’ adds my source. ‘He introduced Harry to Misha, and then she introduced him to Meghan, who’s a friend of hers.’

Thankfully, at least one awkward encounter will be avoided. Despite Alex being pictured holding hands with Maria Sharapova earlier this month, the tennis star doesn’t need to start looking at wedding outfits. ‘He won’t be bringing her as his date.

‘Anyway, it would be awkward if that happened because Serena Williams is going, and they don’t exactly have the best history.’

Williams, 36, enjoys an intense rivalry with Sharapova, 30, off the court and once called her ‘boring’.
