Princess Anne deemed Meghan 'unsuitable' for royal life, expert claims

An expert has claimed the royal feud kicked off almost immediately after Prince Harry began dating Meghan Markle, but it wasn't Prince William or Prince Charles who was vocal from the get-go.

According to Lady Colin Campbell, Princess Anne deemed Meghan "unsuitable", thus kicking off the feud between the Duke of Sussex and his family.

The Mirror claims Lady Colin Campbell shared her thoughts in a 38-minute YouTube video which recently came to light, where she explained: "Princess Anne was the champion in terms of 'don't marry that girl, she's unsuitable.'

"'She is wrong for us, she is wrong for the country, she is wrong for the job'."

It comes after reports resurfaced that Princess Anne refused to attend Prince Harry's christening in 1984 with Daily Express reporter Ashley Walton writing at the time, Anne instead went game shooting with then-husband Mark Phillips as she was angry at being overlooked as godmother for the second time.

The report also noted that Prince Charles' decision to leave his sister off the list of six godparents also annoyed Prince Philip.
