EXCLUSIVE: There’s another shocking story – all about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – and this time it comes from a British aristocrat who, although critical of the royal couple, insisted she was rooting for Meghan Markle.
“I have said it all, and I still say, I have roots for Meghan,” Lady Colin Campbell told Fox News. “Because I still see where she is, because of her natural gifts, when she gets her performances together, she can still do so much good for people all over the world.”
“I’m not trying to show them in the slightest,” the 70-year-old continued. ‘And I’m also trying to show what their potential was and still could be. I think they have damaged themselves very badly. I think there will be a very difficult road ahead, no matter what the way. I think if they try to come back to this country, they will not be welcomed.
“I think there’s a clear possibility that if they do not make their huge fortune that they hoped to make in Hollywood, they will have to go somewhere else. I do not know what they will do. I think they do not know what they are going to do. ‘

Before the bombshell book “Finding Freedom” written by Royal Reporters Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand was released this summer, Campbell published “Meghan and Harry: The Real Story,” which aims to provide an “authoritative account” behind the scenes. on Markle and Princess’ whirling romance, high profile marriage as her decision to step down as senior members of the British royal family.
The former American actress, 39, and the British prince, 35, live in Markle’s native California with her son, Archie.
While it was first reported that Harry and Markle were collaborating with the authors, reps for the couple confirmed to Fox News that they had no part in the tell-all.

HOW PRINCE EUGENIE FEELS ABOUT MEGHAN MARKLE, PRINCE HARRY SHARES BABY NEWLY REVIEWED HER FAITH
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not interviewed and did not contribute to ‘Finding Freedom,'” the statement said. “This book is based on the authors’ own experiences as members of the Royal Press Corps and inherits its own independent reporting.”
Campbell, who previously published a book about Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, said she spoke with royals, former and current court staff, fellow aristocrats or mutual well-connected friends for her latest release.
In response to ‘Finding Freedom’, Campbell rejected that book and called it ‘fiction’.
“What surprised me most about Meghan and Harry when I tried what was really there was what a great opportunity to do good all over the world,” she explained. “And if they were sincere humanitarians, they would know they had an absolutely perfect springboard for doing the finest work and how they were banished in small clutches.”
“Because of his mental health problems and because of his personality problems, they are crushing this enormous opportunity and making it very unlikely that they would achieve their stated goals or what everyone hopes they would achieve,” they claimed.

MEGHAN MARKLE REVEALS POWERED BY THEIR IN 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CELEBRATION, BREAKING ROYAL FAMILY TRADITION
Campbell claimed that the couple wanted to become financially independent and engaged in “commercial activities”, which are “strictly prohibited” under royalty. They also claimed that Markle wanted to share her political views openly, including frowning. This presumably caused the couple to clash with palace helpers who intend to preserve the tradition.
“I think this is completely unrealistic,” Campbell said. ‘This will never work. It will never be allowed. I thought this was making an absolutely amazing story, which proved to me, this is history in making. But I think the sad thing about it is the ruined opportunity and the fact that nothing they say actually measures up to what they do. “
According to Campbell, Markle was initially welcomed with open arms by the royal family and the “red carpet was laid out for them.” However, they claimed that things were going downhill fast because the former “Suits” star “refused to respect the parameters on which all royals should function.”
“She was of the opinion that if she was rebellious and she did just as she did she was proving that she could prove she could pass it on as a modernizing influence,” Campbell claimed. ‘But this was not about modernization. This was about self-engagement. And people objected to Meghan [being disrespectful] to British tradition and customs … They completely ignored what they were told … And that’s when the press started reporting on it. “

Both Markle and Harry have spoken out about the abuse they have been subjected to by British tabloids. Campbell mocked the claims and pointed out that duty must come first when it comes to being a royal.
“I think they are not in touch with reality,” she said. ‘And it’s ironic because they had so much for them and they had so much prestige. They were the most popular couple in Britain. They could have betrayed one of the most revered couples on Earth if they played their cards straight. Instead, they are now the most hardened couple of this country. And it’s entirely thanks to her behavior. ”
Campbell also said she does not believe the couple went to California for the reason of protecting their firstborn from the scorching footlight.
“I would not buy the lies they moved to California for privacy when they could have had much more privacy in Frogmore Cottage,” she snapped. “Being a British royal means you have an unusual level of protection around you. They have removed that level of protection. They’re gone to California … If you’re sincere about privacy, shut down and lead a private life. And if you have something that is a valid public engagement, do it. ”
