Strictly forbidden for royalty
Lady Colin explained: “It is history in the making, and when I started the book last year I knew huge problems were looming with them.
“Through my royal friends and my palace connections. I knew there were huge problems with them.” (sic).

“There were huge concerns that she was introducing politics into her activities which again are strictly forbidden for royals to do.
“So I knew that huge problems were looming and that there was a great story to be told.”
In order to create her book, Lady Colin met with a variety of sources, including members of the “Markle family”, who she hosted at her Castle Goring estate.
She revealed: “I have spoken to people who have known her all her life. I had members of the Markle family to stay at this castle.”

The duchess is currently suing Associated Newspapers for publishing a letter she sent to her dad, just before getting married.
According to court documents related to the case, as seen by the BBC, Meghan suffered “tremendous emotional distress” over the publication of her letter.
However, in the preliminary hearing regarding Meghan’s case held back in May, a judge dismissed the claim that Associated Newspapers had deliberately “stirred up” problems for the former royal.
Lady Colin claims Meghan is a divisive person for those around her. And while some have “positive things” to say, other insiders believe she is “egotistical”.
She said: “I’ve spoken to people in Canada, I’ve been friendly with people in Hollywood, I’ve spoken to all sorts of people.
“One of my closest and oldest friends is a close friend of Gigi Perreau who taught Meghan drama at school, and she has very positive things to say about Meghan.
