Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton claimed to be a fellow-victim of the “racist” British media that Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex claimed drove them out of the UK to their California mansion.
Former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton has weighed in on the side of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after their TV interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Clinton said she found the interview with the multimillionaire aristocratic couple at the $14 million California mansion “heart rending” to watch — and let drop that she had met Harry’s late mother Princess Diana.
The former presidential candidate was eager to share in the victimhood, claiming she had also been targeted by the British press which Harry dubbed “racist” — even though it was largely supportive of her failed 2016 bid for the US presidency.
“The fact she did not get more support – that the reaction was, you know, ‘let’s just paper it over and pretend it didn’t happen or it will go away, just keep your head down’ — well, this young woman was not going to keep her head down,” Clinton added. “You know, this is 2021 and she wanted to live her life, she wanted to be fully engaged and she had every right to hope for that.”
Responding to the Duchess of Sussex’s claims she suffered mental illness and suicidal thoughts during her two-year stint as a royal — and that an un-named member of the family asked about her son Archie’s skin colour — Clinton said the British royal family should make more room for women.
Present monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, served as an Army auxiliary during the Second World War before succeeding her father George VI at the age of 25; her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria ascended the throne at the age of 18 in 1837. Markle was 35 when she married Prince Harry in 2018.
The Queen remains the ceremonial head of the British state, and the royal family frequently deputise for her on official occasions. Prince Charles and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall met Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel in 2019 on a state visit to the socialist West Indian nation which is still under US embargo.
