LADY Colin Campbell claimed Meghan Markle "weaponises colour with everything" during an interview with an Australian TV show this morning.
The controversial author, who is known for her outspoken opinions, also claimed Prince Harry "would never have married her if she was white".
She told the Today programme: "You see, as long as she plays the colour card, she gets a free pass to behave as badly and as freely as she would like.
"She has no boundaries and as long as she plays the colour card, it is open season."
Meanwhile, Piers Morgan has sarcastically called for the Archbishop of Canterbury to be sacked for "disbelieving" Meghan Markle's secret wedding claims.
It comes after the Archbishop Justin Welby confirmed Meghan and Harry weren't legally married in their back garden three days before the royal wedding – despite making these claims during their Oprah Winfrey chat.
He tweeted: "The Archbishop of Canterbury should either apologise for disbelieving Meghan Markle’s secret wedding claims – or lose his job."

MEGHAN 'APPEARED TO LEAD NORMAL LIFE' AS A ROYAL
Meghan Markle appeared to lead a "normal life" as a royal despite the claims made in her Oprah interview, a royal expert has claimed.
Andrew Morton, who wrote Princess Diana's biography in 1992, was asked on the Royally Obsessed podcast on whether Meghan's situation in the Palace was similar to Lady Di's.
He said: "When I was watching the interview, I was ticking off 'yes, sense of isolation', 'yes, sense of desperation' exactly what Diana was saying to me.
"But then again, well, friends of mine said they've seen Meghan walking from Whole Foods supermarket on Kensington High Street with bags of foods back to Kensington Palace.
"It didn't seem too much like a prison. Other friends have seen her out and about with friends at restaurants, so she seems, to me, to have led a normal life."

MEG IS ‘POPULAR WITH YOUNG PEOPLE’
Tom Bower, who wrote books on Simon Cowell, Philip Green and Bernie Ecclestone, claims Meghan Markle is “clearly popular with young people”.
He added: “Clearly she’s very popular with young people and ethnic groups in America and those who are anti-British royalty and anti- the heirachy that the monarchy represents.
“Her challenge will be to fashion policies and promote herself as a proper serious politician as opposed to just somebody who campaigns against racism."

MEG'S EX LEAPS TO HER DEFENCE
Meghan Markle's ex-boyfriend has leapt to her defence, telling US media that allegations of bullying were "an attack on her character".
Joshua Silverstein, her first boyfriend, told US Weekly: "When you find women of colour — particularly Black women — standing up for themselves and speaking out and speaking against what they feel [is] disrespect or oppression, often times whiteness tends to classify that in negative ways because they don’t want that to happen.
“It’s almost like people are expected to know their place and whenever they don’t fall in line with that, then people say it’s a problem.”

QUEEN 'DIDN'T WANT HISTORY TO REPEAT ITSELF'
Mr Morton also claimed that the Queen "didn't want history to repeat itself with Harry" after watching Margaret "fall out of the system".
He added: "Shutting out Margaret didn’t help and the Queen has learned from that.
"She didn’t want history to repeat itself with Harry.
"The Royal Family is a hierarchy, and if you’re not number one that can be challenging."

QUEEN HAS 'INFINITE PATIENCE' WITH HARRY
The Queen has "infinite patience" with her "lost soul" Prince Harry because of her history with her sister Margaret.
The monarch understands what it's like being the spare second-born royal sibling because of Princess Margaret's struggles, according to a royal expert.
Andrew Morton told Vanity Fair: "I think the Queen knows that being the spare is hard and a part of her recognizes that Harry was sometimes a bit of a lost soul just like her sister.
"She has always wanted to protect Harry and I think in part that’s because she watched Margaret fall victim to the system."

MEGHAN’S CLAIMS SHE COULDN’T GET HELP LEFT PRINCE DI BIOGRAPHER ‘BAFFLED’
Princess Diana’s biographer claims that he was left “baffled” by Meghan’s claim that her concerns about her mental health were ignored.
When asked about Meghan’s admission that she was ignored by the Royal Family over her mental health concerns on Lorraine, Andrew Morton said: “That was a very sad admission.
“But it left far more questions than answers.
“Especially as Harry is a patron of a mental health organisation, his godmother, Julia Samuel, is a well-known psychotherapist, she’s on speed dial.
“So it left me baffled that assertion.”

Mr Silverstein, who dated Meghan during a summer as a young teen, added: "She's probably having to make hard decisions and uncomfortable ones for the sake of just being able to smile the next day."

QUESTIONS OVER HOW PRINCE HARRY OBTAINED US VISA
Harry now has two jobs and TV and radio projects in the US, sparking questions how he obtained a visa.
But his work with Invictus Games for injured squaddies could potentially qualify him – and his recent bombshell Oprah interview earned millions for the TV industry.
Royal experts have also claimed that palace officials will watch Harry’s new jobs closely.
Russell Myers told True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat: “There is the argument that if he is ‘Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex’ in all the published materials for [the firm], is that trading off the royal brand which they said they wouldn’t do to uphold the values of The Queen?
“So it is very debatable at the moment. People at the Palace will be watching this very, very closely.”

Meanwhile, Prince Harry will get nothing.
The exact amount Harry inherited remains unknown, a 2002 BBC report says the “bulk” of her £14 million estate will go to the Duke of Sussex “since William will benefit financially by becoming king.”
