Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shocked the world in January 2020 when they announced they were stepping down as senior working members of The Royal Family.
While former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Lady Colin Campbell is often outspoken against Meghan, 40, and Prince Harry, 37, the aristocrat has now partly defended The Duchess of Sussex.
Prince Harry, 36, and Meghan announced they would be leading a more private life but have since signed lucrative media deals as well as delivering a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Some have claimed that the pair deliberately took a swipe at The Royal Family but Lady C, 72, has argued against this.

The aristocrat whose real name is Georgia Arianna said: “I don’t think she has true vengeance against The Royal Family,
I think she has true vengeance against everybody and everything, I don’t think it’s just The Royal Family.”
The mother-of-two added: “It’s based upon her self-hatred and not upon their treatment of her,” following claims Meghan and Harry faced questions surrounding the race of their son, Archie Harrison.

During her interview with Oprah, Meghan also claimed she was denied access to mental health support.
Following the dramatic interview, Buckingham Palace made the rare move of issuing a statement addressing the situation.
A spokesperson said: “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.

“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning.”
The statement continued: “While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.
“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much-loved family members.”
Lady C went on to address Prince Harry and his “personality traits”, claiming he has “negative traits”.
She said: “Do I think the family was aware of Harry’s personality traits, the negative ones while he was growing up? Yes, they were.
“Diana used to say he was an airhead just like her.”

She added: “She also used to say that William was intelligent like his father and was serious like ‘his father
“But Harry didn’t have any gravitas, she knew only too well that Harry also could be pretty mean.”
Following speculation that Meghan and Harry’s Time 100 magazine cover was released to coincide with Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge’s appearance at RAF Brize Norton, Lady C furiously hit out.
“I think we would be unfair to actually blame them, they had nothing to do with the scheduling of the magazine, so in fairness to them, I will have to say I don’t think in all honesty that they were trying to rain on Catherine’s parade,” she said.
It’s been a year like no other for the Queen from the loss of her husband to heartache over Prince Harry. But Her Majesty has also had a lot of cause for celebration, including the birth of baby Lilibet. To mark what a year the Queen has had, OK! Magazine is bringing you a limited edition collector’s issue. Get your hands on it, here.
