Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shocked the world when they stepped down as senior royals last year, and since then, they have repeatedly trashed the royal family in a series of damning interviews.

Now, one royal expert is speaking out to say that Harry’s aunt Princess Anne, the daughter of Queen Elizabeth, had desperately tried to stop him from marrying Meghan in the first place.

“Princess Anne was the champion in terms of ‘don’t marry that girl, she is unsuitable,'” Lady Colin Campbell, a royal expert who was a friend of the late Princess Diana, told The Express. “‘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.”

Campbell went on to say that Anne though Meghan was “flagrantly attention-seeking”.

“It just absolutely turned Princess Anne off because she couldn’t stand Meghan’s constant ‘uh, uh, me, me me, me,'” she added.

Anne reportedly ignored Harry at Prince Philip’s funeral back in April, as did Prince Andrew and his wife Sophie.

“Ironically the only one who has expressed any sympathy towards him is Prince Andrew. He knows from Sarah Ferguson – and now first-hand – how it feels to be the outsider, which Harry very much is,” one source said. “As far as the others are concerned, there is a deep sense of protection towards the Queen and resentment towards Harry. There is little sympathy for him after what he and Meghan said on Oprah.”

“They are still very upset,” the source added. “They are putting on a united front for the Queen. They all think he has behaved appallingly.”

This comes weeks after Campbell predicted that Harry and Meghan “won’t last.”

“She and Harry won’t last. Once she became the royal Duchess of Sussex, it was off with everyone’s head,” Lady Colin Campbell told Page Six, referring to Meghan. “Disconnected from reality, she lost it. She froths at the mouth when my name is mentioned. But nothing she can do because I made no legal mistakes. With all I stated about her — her background, how she learned about him — I am legally OK.”
