Royal says Meghan Markle was ‘a bad kind of American’: biographer

A royal biographer claimed to know which member of the royal family was accused of racism by Meghan Markle – insisting the feud was that she was ‘the wrong kind of American’ and had nothing to do with race .

Well-connected socialite Lady Colin Campbell, 71, insisted in a lengthy YouTube video that three well-placed family sources had confirmed the name of the senior royal whom Markle anonymously accused of raising concerns about the color of the future children of the couple.

Campbell said the royal was “boisterous” in her objections that Markle was a “misfit” for royalty – but insisted it was never “a matter of race.”

Rather, the “concerned family member” “always objected for reasons of character… cultural differences,” Campbell said.

One of the biggest issues was that the then actress was “the wrong type of American” to make a proper royal, Campbell said – calling Markle a “cool California girl” who believes “all problems life can be solved with a trip to the beach and the lawyer, ”Campbell said.

Concerns were raised as soon as it became clear that Harry’s romance with the actress was more than an ‘affair’, with the senior royal seeing her as a ‘con artist’ who would be ‘nothing but trouble ”for the monarchy, Campbell said.

“As, indeed, it turned out to be the case,” said the biographer whose books include last year, “Meghan and Harry: The Real Story.”

The “cultural” concerns were then “strongly turned” by Markle, Harry “under his spell” and going with him, affirmed the biographer.

“She’s been able to convince him that any criticism of her is based on race, and he’s so stupid that he actually swallowed that line,” Campbell said, accusing Markle of “playing the race card.” .

The royal family did not specify which member of the royal family Markle was referring to, but called the claims “concerning.”

“Although some memories may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be treated by the family in private,” Queen Elizabeth II said in a statement.

Prince William also insisted that the royal family is “really not a racist family”.
