The royal family

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

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. 😲

I might be wrong but I understood that M claimed the discussion was “ in tandem” ( her words) with the discussions about Archie’s title and protection whereas H suggested it happened before they were married .
They were married in May and Archie was born a year later so M wasn’t pregnant right after the wedding.

Harry told Meghan what was said to him. She wasn't there.

So I guess the question is whether Harry is lying - I don't believe he is, but that is the question. Harry is the one who claims to have had the comments made to him.

Harry is the one who claims to have had the comments made to him.

Yet his timeline flatly contradicts MM’s.

Last week I was firmly convinced he had kept stuff from her. Now I don’t think we can possibly figure this out from the outside. It needs to be clarified. I’m not sure how.

So what I'm getting at is that the timing for Meghan is when Harry actually told her, which was when she was already pregnant. For Harry, the offending comments from his family member could have been months before.

To be fair, that would be a conversation one would think carefully about even having in the first place... and would take some building up to.

I agree . So much speculation that it needs to be clarified given the sensitivity of the subject .
I still think , if anything, it was a throwaway comment that has been taken out of context . DGS’s Dad has red hair and DD is blond so when DD was pregnant, there were conversations about what colour of hair he would have . Is that not normal ?

Exactly PicsInRed why would H say something so potentially upsetting ?

Yeah, I don't understand why he told her, perhaps she was pushing him on why the security was being removed. I'm not sure I'd have had that conversation right then when she was pregnant, but who knows.

I agree, we're at the point that this isn't going away, we need to know exactly what was said and who said it.

Harry is thick. He was a “successful army officer” because he’d have thrown a strop to granny if the army didn’t accept him.

I actually can not believe that this has not been picked up on by the media already? The racisti-not-a-racist undertones are fucking extreme. That was hard to watch. If ever I was in any doubt (I wasn't) about Meghan's recount of her time there, this has just proven that it must have been utter hell. How dare they look down on someone like that. Utterly horrific to listen to.

That has to be the most horrible example of hatred that I've ever come across. The utter disdain for 'the wrong kind of American'.
I will believe every word out of Meghan's mouth from here in as that must have been insufferable to deal with. The woman just admitted to everything Meghan alleged! And she was too thick to realise what she was doing!!

Meghan, Harry and Oprah can now walk away and just say 'watch this video QED'. I've never seen such a blatant admission of how 'they' think than that interview. Scary! I'll go back to my oilk life. Perhaps us idiots could be shot as game? I mean, clearly we are not fit to lick the soles on their wellingtons. Good God.

That was absolutely astounding to listen to.

The funny thing is, that now Meghan does not need to say one more word to prove what they're like or to prove that she was telling the truth all along. It's right there from the horse's mouth. Absolutely shocked to be honest.
