She said in an interview she would have married OP 2 years ago if he'd asked her.I think her OP engagement was BS as well. The DM article about her shortly after getting to London shows she has no shame in forcing a ”boyfriends“ hand. She was clearly briefing the journalist re gossip about “so in love and getting married soon”. Nobody says that sort of thing about a new couple especially not someone in the public eye. It was planted by Alice.
The whole getting a place of her own was bullocks too. Even pre financial crash she didn‘t have either the capital or earnings to buy a London flat. She was on the cadge. My bet is she did the same thing to move in with OP.
So clearly didn't ask her = not engaged.
