DAN WOOTTON: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry created a 'circus'

DAN WOOTTON: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry might think their accusations of racism in the Royal Family should be forgotten. But they created this 'circus' and it's unforgivable they let the Queen depart without correcting the record

Of all the unsavoury deeds committed by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their revenge campaign, nothing is more inexcusable than allowing the Queen and Prince Philip to die haunted by false accusations that the Royal Family was racist.

There is zero doubt that it was the Duchess of Sussex and her gormless husband Prince Harry who allowed such a global narrative to develop.

It started with the Oprah Winfrey interview, which included the revelation of the so-called 'royal racist' who asked about unborn Archie's skin tone, and culminated in the Commonwealth-hating Netflix reality show -- broadcast in December -- which aimed to undermine the life's work of the late Queen to move on from the perceived sins of the British Empire.

To claim otherwise is nothing short of intellectually dishonest.

It was only in January this year that Harry finally bothered, during a compliant interview with his nodding dog BFF Tom Bradby of ITV, to downgrade the racism allegations to 'unconscious bias', a meaningless woke concept that can be applied to anything if you happen to be white.

Too late by then, of course.

The damage, which included William being forced to state publicly 'we are very much not a racist family' and the later hijacking of his tour with Kate to the Caribbean, was done and the late Queen was gone.

But now we learn that Meghan had previously written to her father-in-law to concede that the poor soul she had targeted on an international scale wasn't actually racist at all.

The Daily Telegraph has revealed that the letters 'make clear the identity of the senior member of the family who made the comment' and that both the King and the Duchess 'acknowledged that the individual's remark was not made with malice'.

Further, the newspaper's well-connected royal editor Victoria Ward - one of the few British journalists who is believed to have not been formally cut off by the Sussexes - reports: 'The Duchess's letter is also said to suggest that she had never intended to specifically accuse the individual involved of being a racist, but was raising concerns about unconscious bias.'

Meghan's private decision to backtrack, in response to a letter sent by Charles, makes it even more unforgivable she and Prince Harry stayed silent in public while allowing such a corrosive allegation to take hold and do the UK monarchy lasting damage abroad.

I do have to wonder at times about the forgiving nature of the King when it comes to his son and daughter in law.

After all, this is the same woman who wrote to her own father in consultation with royal aides expecting the letter might be leaked to the media.

And, remember, it was obvious the implication she was making to Oprah, when theatrically talking about how the royals had 'concerns and conversations about how dark' her unborn baby's 'skin might be when he is born'.

Now, just two weeks before the Coronation, Meghan has yet again found a way to insert herself into the drama.

And, as ever, destabilising the British Royal Family at a moment of significance seems to be the Sussexes' goal.

So having spent the past three years creating this circus against the Royal Family, via Oprah, Netflix and a string of other incendiary interviews, press statements, and briefings, Meghan has the temerity to try and wash her hands of the entire palaver.

In a statement first released to her propagandist, that odd little bloke Omid Scobie, Meghan's spokesperson opines: 'The Duchess of Sussex is going about her life in the present, not thinking about correspondence from two years ago related to conversations from four years ago.

'Any suggestion otherwise is false and frankly ridiculous. We encourage tabloid media and various royal correspondents to stop the exhausting circus that they alone are creating.'

Is she for real?

If I didn't know the front of this C-list actress turned faux humanitarian, I would have believed that statement was a spoof penned for a satirical website.

Even more ridiculous is the fact Meghan and Prince Harry's friends now want to spin that it's the unsatisfactory lack of a response from King Charles to her letter that is the reason behind her skipping the Coronation.

As if! They couldn't handle Meghan being booed by the thousands of monarchists who will gather for the event and are more disgusted than I am about the way she's treated her family, the institution, and the United Kingdom after we gave her such a warm welcome.

I, for one, intend to continue revealing the truth of Meghan's time in the Royal Family so that the Sussexes' propaganda doesn't take hold. The stakes could not be higher; in fact, the very future of the British monarchy is under threat.

Within the left-wing media world at least, Meghan and Prince Harry's game plan is sadly working.

Just today, the British Bashing Corporation otherwise known as the BBC has made another attempt to undermine the ongoing and vast popularity of the Royal Family at a time of transition in a primetime Panorama documentary, which it claims proves 'public opinion about the British royals is changing'.

The evidence: A sole online poll that shows more than a third of 18 to 24-year-olds want the monarchy to continue and 'almost half' of those asked from ethnic minority backgrounds believe the Royal Family has a problem with race and diversity.

In reality, only 26 per cent of their precious poll wants an elected head of state, suggesting nearly three-quarters of the population is wholeheartedly behind the new king.

But, according to their poll, when it comes to 18 to 24 year-olds, just 32 per cent want the monarchy to continue, compared to 64 per cent in 2013, with an academic concluding: 'Charles has a problem with Gen Z.'

Well, if that is the case, we know exactly who is to blame.

Meghan and Prince Harry remain the biggest thorns in the side of the British monarchy but, in my opinion, also its biggest asset.

When you compare the Duchess and her woke victimhood narrative, while refusing to work for the British people, with the stoic, consistent and unglamorous duty provided to us by the King and Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Sophie, and Prince William and Kate, there is simply no competition

In the end, no matter how hard the BBC and the rest of the left-wing media spin for her, even the woketopians will see Meghan and Prince Harry only care about themselves, whereas the Royal Family are there for the country in ways an elected politician never could be.

The only people who have created this 'exhausting circus' are Harry and Meghan - in fact, they're the ringmasters.
