Royal Expert Claims Meghan Markle Was The 'Wrong Sort Of American' For Harry

It's safe to say that Prince Harry became even more of a tabloid staple when he began his romance with his now wife, Meghan Markle, in 2016. The twosome and their relationship has always been much speculated about, and things only intensified ahead of their May 2018 wedding before ramping up again after the couple announced they'd be stepping back as senior royals in January 2020 and moving to North America.

Things intensified again when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the bold move to tell their side of the story in an intense tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired in March 2021. The interview generated quite a bit of speculation from the public and the media after the couple dropped several bombshells about their lives as senior royals, including sharing a racially insensitive remark said to be made by an unnamed member of the family before their son Archie's birth.

In the wake of the interview, a royal expert is sharing their thoughts on Meghan and Harry's relationship and lifting the lid on what the royal family supposedly really thinks of the former Suits actor.

In a March 2021 YouTube video, socialite and biographer Lady Colin Campbell suggested that much of the attention that has stemmed from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship is because she's supposedly "the wrong sort of American" for the Duke of Sussex, rather than being connected to racial issues. Campbell said she knows who made the alleged remarks about the color of Archie's skin, claiming she's "known for a little while, but denied there were ever "concerns" regarding the color of Meghan's skin when she and Harry started dating.

Campbell alleged that the apparent tension between Meghan and the royal family was never because of her skin color "but because of Meghan's inability and determination to remain unable to appreciate the cultural differences," and because Meghan reportedly did not have "respect for the institution into which she was marrying, and the family in which she was marrying." Campbell suggested the queen's daughter Princess Anne was supposedly very much against the couple and "was rightly concerned that if the marriage proceeded and there were children, there would be huge problems."

The socialite also claimed the issues between Meghan and the royal family stemmed from her "character" and "personality," but claimed that the former actor has convinced her husband that criticism of her is "based upon race, and he's so dumb that he has actually swallowed that line." She also accused Meghan of playing the "race card."
