“She objected strongly as the relationship developed on several grounds all of which were based on conduct and character.

“Princess Anne was evidently horrified that [Meghan] stood a chance of becoming a member of her family.
She objected strongly as the relationship developed.

Meanwhile, Lady C also claimed the Princess Royal thought Meghan was “unsuitable”.
Meanwhile, she added: “Princess Anne was the champion in terms of ‘don’t marry that girl, she is unsuitable.’
“‘She is wrong for us, she is wrong for the country, she is wrong for the job.’ Well, it’s turned out to be true.”
Lady C also claimed: “Princess Anne was rightly concerned that if the marriage proceeded and there were children, there would be huge problems.
“Not because of Meghan’s colour, but because of Meghan’s inability and determination to remain unable to appreciate the cultural differences and to have respect for the institution and the family.”
In addition, Lady C claimed that Meghan “set out to charm” the family and “succeeded” with Prince Charles and the Queen.
