Lady Colin Campbell is accusing Meghan Markle of “poking her nose in” to other people’s business.
The accusation comes after Meghan reached out to Japanese tennis champion Naomi Osaka, who pulled out of the French Open last month to take a mental health break.
According to the Express, the royal expert and former I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here contestant answered a fan on her Youtube channel, addressing whether it is appropriate for celebrities to contact public figures “who are dodging their professional responsibilities”.
Lady Colin said: “Yet again Meghan ‘reached out’ … it used to be called, ’Pushing your nose in everybody else’s business’ but I suppose now we live in a truly George Orwellian age and euphemism is hyperbole and vice versa.

“I suppose poking your nose in everybody else business is ‘reaching out’,” she added.
Naomi shared that Meghan, as well as Michelle Obama, Michael Phelps, Steph Curry, Novak Djokovic, all reached out with their support.
Meghan and her husband Prince Harry have spoken prolifically about the importance of mental health in the past, with Harry acknowledging the loss of his mother and Meghan describing her adjustment to joining the Royal Family.

In a personal essay for Time Magazine, Naomi wrote: “I want to thank everyone who supported me.
“There are too many to name, but I want to start with my family and friends, who have been amazing.”
Naomi chose not to attack the media saying: ”This was never about the press, but rather the traditional format of the press conference. I’ll say it again for those at the back: I love the press; I do not love all press conferences.
“I have always enjoyed an amazing relationship with the media and have given numerous in-depth, one-on-one interviews.
“Other than those superstars who have been around much longer than I, I’d estimate that I’ve given more time to the press than many other players over recent years.”

She added: “I always try to answer genuinely and from the heart. I’ve never been media-trained, so what you see is what you get.”
Naomi gave her fans some hope of seeing her play again as she said she is looking forward to the Tokyo Olympics this month.
Lady Colin advised public figures: “They should see a psychiatrist to cope with the effects of fame but by the look of it, all they’re trying to do is dodge a discomforting situation and yes it is uncomfortable, but how do you think you develop character in life?
“You face your challenges and you learn to hit back as and when it is appropriate. It’s called growth.”
