Lady Colin Campbell, a 69-year-old Jamaican-born socialite and royal biographer, has recently criticized Meghan Markle, branding her behavior as “cheap, vulgar, and irresponsible.” Campbell’s comments come in the wake of Markle’s guest-editing of the September issue of British Vogue, an act she perceives as Markle “acting like a celebrity.”

Lady Colin, who has authored three books about the British Royal Family and claims to have been a confidante of Princess Diana, expressed her disapproval in an interview with Closer magazine. She stated, “She was never an A-lister, so she needs to stop acting like one.” Campbell emphasized that royalty should not behave like celebrities, calling Markle’s actions unbecoming of her royal status.

The biographer believes that Markle’s conduct is a letdown to those who admire her, insisting that her celebrity-like behavior is not fitting for a member of the royal family. This is not the first time Campbell has voiced her discontent with the Duchess of Sussex. Earlier this month, she suggested that Markle’s personality would have clashed with that of Prince Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, had they ever met. “I think Meghan and Diana are sufficiently similar personalities for there to have been the potential for conflict,” Campbell said.

Markle’s guest-editing project for Vogue involved selecting 15 women to be featured on the cover, whom she described as “forces for change.” This endeavor, however, has been met with criticism amid a challenging period for Markle, who has faced backlash over her demands for privacy.

Lady Colin’s criticisms follow a series of controversial remarks she has made about Markle. In a recent appearance on the Channel 5 documentary *Kate V Meghan: Princesses At War*, Campbell suggested that Meghan has “considerably changed” Prince Harry, who she describes as “besotted” by his wife. The documentary also highlighted tensions between Prince Harry and Prince William, attributing the rift to Harry feeling criticized for his choice of wife.

Campbell, who is set to appear on the new series of *Celebs Go Dating*, believes that Markle’s pursuit of becoming a princess and her subsequent behavior are not in line with royal expectations. “She wanted to become a princess and sought it out,” Campbell claimed.

As Markle continues to navigate her role within the royal family and public life, Lady Colin Campbell’s sharp critiques underscore the ongoing scrutiny she faces. The debate over Markle’s behavior reflects broader discussions about the evolving nature of modern royalty and the balance between tradition and contemporary celebrity culture.
