Lady Colin Campbell has claimed to prove that Meghan Markle wanted to outshine Princess Diana.
In her latest controversial book – titled Meghan And Harry: The Real Story – the aristocrat claims the Duchess of Sussex attempted to fill the shoes of her husband’s late mother, who was known as the People’s Princess.
In her tell-all book, Lady C, 70, discusses Prince Harry and Meghan’s motive in leaving the Royal family and putting the responsibilities that come with it behind them.
Speaking to New magazine, the former Celebs Go Dating star described their unexpected move as ‘terribly sad’ before suggesting that former actress Meghan is the brains behind the unprecedented decision.
She went on to claim that the American star tried her utmost to outshine Harry’s dear mother before insisting that he is ‘much less intelligent’ than his other half.
Lady C insisted: “It’s a terribly, terribly sad situation. In my opinion, Harry is a much less intelligent character than she is and I think he’s so desperate to please her and go along with whatever she says, no matter how ill-conceived it is”.
The controversial star shared her feelings that Harry would still be a member of the Royal family if Meghan was not around.
“I believe that if Harry had married anyone else, he would still be a member of the royal family and I believe Meghan’s ambition was always to outshine Diana” she insited.
“Meghan’s ambition has always been to outshine Diana, but I think she’s gravely misread the situation. She thought sheer hype would get her into LA, where she could become the great star she always wanted to be.
Lady C continued: “But I don’t think it will happen for her. I really think she’ll struggle to fulfill her ambition.”
The former I’m A Celeb star has made numerous cruel claims about Meghan in her new book, including that the Duchess was rude to guests at Harry’s best friend’s wedding.
Although it’s unclear whether she has actually met the couple, Lady C insisted that a source spilled the beans on Harry’s best mate Charlie Van Straubenzee’s wedding to Daisy Jenks.
The controversial writer claims the Duchess “froze out” all the other guests at celebration, and that she has cost Harry “most of his friends”.
She writes: “A girl went up to Meghan, introduced herself, and said how beautiful she thought she was.
“She said she knew it was Meghan’s birthday and wished her a happy birthday. Meghan looked at her as if she had committed a great faux pas by speaking to her and walked off. It was so cold.”
The tell-all book has been surrounded by controversy, and even saw Phillip Scofield and Holly Willoughby row with Lady C during a This Morning interview earlier this month.
