In her new book, Lady Colin Campbell claims that the sovereign welcomed her because of her "biracial identity," since Meghan's race was "the only thing that was unreservedly in her favor" for her.
The controversial British author and royal specialist, Lady Colin Campbell, advanced explosive information that will appear in her new book about Harry and Meghan, where she claims that Prince Charles' youngest son would not have been able to marry a white Hollywood star.
Lady Colin Campbell maintains that Queen Elizabeth II approved of Meghan's mixed-race background, as she thought this would help the royal family appear “more modern.” According to Daily Mail, the author of the book states that Meghan's "biracial identity" contributed "to the thoughtful and representative monarchy of multicultural and multiracial Great Britain." The former actress had already referred to her origins in those terms, when she spoke out on several occasions against racism.
The wedding would not have been allowed if Meghan had been a white actress, born in California and a member of the cast of a popular television series, says Campbell.
Lady Colin Campbell claims that a prince once told her that if Meghan had not been a woman of colour, she would never have been allowed to marry. “It was the only thing that was unreservedly in his favor.”
Meghan Markle is the daughter of Thomas Markle, of Caucasian origin, and her mother Doria Ragland, who is African-American. Her love story with Prince Harry began in 2017, when she worked on the series Suits.
On many occasions and through different campaigns, Meghan spoke out against racial discrimination, and even revealed that she and her mother suffered it themselves. In 2012 and within the framework of an initiative against racial hatred carried out by several personalities, Meghan was present to give her support.
Her message was forceful in that video. ”My name is Meghan Markle and I am here because I think it is a very important campaign to be part of. For me, I think it's something very personal. "I'm biracial, most people can't tell what I'm mixed with, and for much of my life I've felt like a fly on the wall," she expressed at the time.
”Some of the slander I've heard or the really offensive jokes, or the names, have hit me very hard. A couple of years ago, I heard someone call my mother the 'N' word. (in reference to the word “nigger”, which is used derogatorily in the United States to refer to the African-American population). So I think that for me, beyond being personally affected by racism, it is just to see the landscape of what our country is right now, and want things to be better,” she noted in that emotional message.
The wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan took place on May 19, 2018, at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. In 2019, they became parents to Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. But that was not the former actress's first wedding, since from 2011 to 2013 she was married to Trevor Jed Engelson, an American director, producer and talent scout.
The always controversial Lady Colin Campbell is the author of different books about British royalty and she was married for 14 months to Lord Colin Ivar Campbell, youngest son of the 11th Duke of Argyll. In her new book about Harry and Meghan, she promises to make explosive revelations about the couple's and her relationship with the British royal family.
