Meghan is DONE FOR even if her father isn't charged, Royals & Democrats tell Lady C, & BROKE as well

Summary

Lady Colin Campbell opens with a personal anecdote about briefly encountering hairdresser John Frieda and knowing members of his extended social circle.

The main discussion concerns reports from the Philippines that police found explicit material, allegedly involving a child, on digital storage devices said to belong to Thomas Markle Sr. Campbell says Markle denies that the material is his and denies wrongdoing. She argues that the allegations should be handled through due process, with no special treatment if the evidence supports charges. The subtitles do not establish that Markle has been charged.

Campbell criticizes Meghan Markle’s changing explanations for her estrangement from her father. She argues that the timing of Meghan’s explanations does not make sense and says the royal family wants to keep its distance from Meghan and Prince Harry. She presents this as her understanding of the family’s position, describing the couple as difficult to advise and prone to actions that backfire. She also alleges that Meghan tried, through Harry, to get Campbell to write negatively about her father in 2020.

Campbell questions whether Harry and Meghan ever seriously intended to buy a home in the UK. She interprets the departure of Archewell Productions executive Chanel Pysnik as a sign that the organization may be winding down and mocks several of the couple’s past productions.

Another major target of Campbell’s criticism is the couple’s planned appearance at an event in Brussels connected to online child safety and a memorial for children who died after online harms. Campbell says the subject deserves compassion but argues that Harry and Meghan lack relevant expertise and are using the event to improve their public image. She draws on her experience as a charity trustee and her personal experience of losing friends to self-harm, while presenting her criticisms of the couple as opinion.

Campbell also claims that influential British royals and senior US Democrats want to distance themselves from Meghan and Harry. She says she has received information from people connected to US senators and asserts that prominent Democrats are unlikely to support the couple, citing the Bidens’ reported distance from them. These claims are presented as information Campbell has received, not as independently established facts.

In response to questions about security, Campbell says private citizens do not qualify for a particular royal-police protection status and that serving police officers cannot simply be paid privately for protection. She says security is assessed individually and that off-duty officers may be hired for security work. She also suggests that the King could choose to fund additional protection privately.
