Lady Colin Campbell had some harsh words for Meghan Markle after the release of the latest edition of British Vogue which Meghan guest-edited.

Colin Campbell is the author of three books about the royal family and criticised Meghan Markle for her recent takeover of British Vogue.

Campbell dubbed the move inappropriate for a royal in a lengthy diss to Closer magazine.

‘She was never an A-lister, so she needs to stop acting like one,’ Colin Campbell told the publication.

‘Royalty does not behave like celebrities do. It’s cheap, vulgar and irresponsible.’

Colin Campbell, who is set to appear on the next season of Celebs Go Dating, said Markle was ‘letting down’ those around the world who admire her by ‘cheapening’ herself in celebrity circles.

Meghan Markle has been dissed by Colin Campbell previously, who believes Princess Diana would not have bonded with the Duchess of Sussex.

‘I think Meghan and Diana are sufficiently similar personalities for there to have been the potential for conflict,’ she said.

‘They have very similar personalities, which would make me believe trouble may well have brewed down the line.’

Markle has been on the receiving end of her fair share of criticism in the press in recent months, having increased the level of privacy around her and her son Archie.

Meghan kept news of Archie’s christening close to her chest in the lead up to the occasion, leaving many royal-onlookers frustrated with her.

She also opted to keep his godparents a secret – another move that proved unpopular with fans.

Meghan was due to appear on the cover of British Vogue, however, instead opted to guest-edit the edition.

The Duchess revealed that she was at home with her dogs when she received the response from Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Edward Enninful, saying that she could be guest editor.

The September issue of British Vogue focuses on ‘Focuses for Change’, and features 15 ‘trailblazer’ and ‘changemakers‘ that inspire Meghan.
