Speaking to FEMAIL!, Lady Campbell said, "I know the Duchess of Sussex has political ambitions and I've been told that one day she wants to run for President. I think everything she is doing, leaving the royal family and moving back to California is part of her plan and she has taken Harry along with her."

In an interview with The Sunday Times, she said that Meghan has 'squandered' the 'most wonderful opportunity' by leaving the royal family.  She also mentioned that there were signs that Meghan would 'not adjust' to life as a royal after her wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018. The socialite also mentioned how Meghan Markle was the topic of conversation at a dinner held at her house at Castle Goring, Worthing in Sussex, following a garden party for Prince Charles' 70th birthday. Prince Harry Does Not Like The Term 'Megxit' As It Wasn't Meghan Markle's Decision To Bid Adieu To The Royal Family.

The writer heard that Meghan had apparently asked to leave after having her photo taken because she was 'bored'. Talking about it she said, "We were all horrified. It was a warning sign Meghan was not going to adjust as well as she'd hoped." Reportedly, the writer said that Meghan was the 'driving force' behind the decision to leave the royal family.

She added, "If you listen to their engagement tape they both state she's been treated very well, she's been welcomed with open arms and they can't wait for her to become a working member of the royal family and she said she wanted to hit the ground running."
