Lady Colin Campbell says it was Princess Anne who made the comment

[BlackCatShadow]

There was a lot of speculation who made the comment after Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview.

She says it wasn't a racist comment. The family were concerned about Meghan in general and it has been twisted by Meghan and Harry.

I don't think Meghan and Harry are on Lady C's Christmas card list. 😲

@cyclingmad

Isn't this Meghans point about her seeking help, she wanted to go somewhere like a clinic away from prying eyes but was told no. I know lots of people have said she could of had someone visit her etc. But the point I got from her interview was she wanted it away from the firm.

I think that "if" this happened, any advice against it from the palace would have been due to the fact that her going to somewhere like, say, The Priory, would have got out into the public domain and it would have been assumed she had some sort of drink/drug problem. Perhaps that's why they apparently said "it wouldn't look good." It wouldn't have looked good for Meghan, not the Palace.

I think you're right. Though people bang on about mental health being easier to talk about now. The truth is people mean counselling or therapy of some sort. As in appointments. In the UK (I don't know about America). Residential mental health help is still seen rather harshly.

Anyway if all this custody stuff is right. Then that would have gone against her too. So probably for the best it didn't happen.

I really think in this day and age only if Haz and her broke up would the custody ever be challenged. Which from a mothers point of view leaving the UK before that is ever a thought is for the best. I would have not been comfortable with the situation for sure. Even if no marital problems.

Did they stop her doing it? I thought they just didn't arrange it for her. How would they stop her? She wasn't a prisoner.

According to some American social media she was a prisoner 😉

Yeah, even though she was photographed and filmed on various lunch dates out and about in London throughout this period.

It was probably Kate dressed up as her. Whilst she was locked up in the tower of London and guarded by corgis 😂

Considering that HMQ is worth £500M and PC also millions with his Dutchy etc. and yet they could not help 1yr old Archie with protection even though they know he is under Neo nazi threats.
I cannot see the RF taking Archie, doesn't look like they want his existence or any links to him. Even if they took him out of spite, where would they keep him, I can't imagine they want to see his face at BP.

If god forbid anything would happen to H, I think him and MM would be out on their own.

Where were these lunch dates?

We only saw her twice at tennis, the baby shower, we heard about the holiday to Elton John's house. All the other times were work related. Which lots of lunches are you referring to, please?

Oh do give over!

Perhaps that's why they apparently said "it wouldn't look good." It wouldn't have looked good for Meghan, not the Palace.

Except that is not the excuse they gave.

The palace had already leaked that she had MH issues, so unless they allowed the papers to change the story to drugs and drink. HNWIs security go to retreats all the time though, but I suspect that she could not take security and Archie (with staff) on her own to go away for days or weeks without telling the palace, surely.

She obviously did something after they left because she is fine now. Which is probably just as well because the same palace would have run to the DF so fast with her location.

What do you mean give over, they literally just financially cut him off !

I think the suggestion is that the Royal family were using the threat of taking the children to elicit control of their mothers. By Royal family, I'm not sure who it means, whether it's the actual RF or the men/women in suits behind the scenes who are controlling a lot of what is said and done, ie., "The Firm". It's all very complicated and I think hard to understand who is actually in charge, who is pulling the strings and there is so much protocol and things that can't be changed and things that have to be done a certain way.

@Mummy195

Oh @Mummy195 you're always good for a laugh ! Cut him off with just £30 million to get by? 🤣

I also read somewhere that Charles was bankrolling him for months initially whilst they got on their feet. I think he needs to learn about real life.

Which they are well aware will not go too far with security.

It was no problem to bail out Andrew, whom I assume is not exactly broke.

Sorry, but I don't see this as a sign that they have Archie's best interest at heart.

Google there are photos of her from media at that time

I did, never saw them, maybe you can provide some links.

I appreciate your imagination it is marvellous. Even after people on various threads and the media have started hundreds of times the security situation and how it all came about. Pay attention

Or just actually research things. Love hearing everyone's thoughts and theories but to ignore the actual TRUTH is an interesting stand point. The evidence is out there.

Oh@Mummy195you're always good for a laugh!

£30 million won't last long for 4 people to be covered for 24/7 professional security. It was reported that Charles was paying £4 million for their security - in less than 10 years the money would be all gone, but the threat to a mixed race royal family and Harry as an ex middle east combat soldier would continue.

There is no proo or evidence. That poster is just making things up, just throwing it out there. If there is proof, just link it. Simples !

Even after people on various threads and the media have started hundreds of times the security situation and how it all came about.

Various threads based entirely on tabloids, LCC and BG.

Not being working royals was their choice quite rightly if they didn't want too. Moving out of the UK was quite rightly their choice if they wanted. What they don't get to choose is how the tax payer or Charles chooses to spend money. Especially if they move to somewhere as high risk as LA.

Adults make decisions that affect their kids. The pair made a decision that compromised their kids security both now and in the future. Yet apparently everyone else is to blame. People really have to stop seeing these two as a young vulnerable couple. They are middle aged people with responsibilities now.

This

The risk is inherent for Archie and H. There is nothing they can do about it.
Any loving parent would not want to see their child or grandchild suffer.

It does not matter if they agree with H or not, they should make sure to look after Archie.

If I'm a grandparent worth millions, I would not leave my great/grandchild whom I know is in danger hanging like this. H put his case forward why they want to leave and feel attacked, even if you don't agree, they have their valid reasons. Just concentrate on the fact that they would not have these issues if they were not born into this family. Where is the humanity in all this?
