Camilla Parker-Bowles is in hot water after Tom Bower dropped his newest book, Revenge. There are speculations that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were referring to the Duchess of Cornwall when they talked about a racist royal in their Oprah Winfrey interview, and a royal commentator shared her thoughts about the issue.
Camilla Parker-Bowles Is Not A Racist, Royal Commentator Says
Los Angeles-based royal commentator Kinsey Schofield, host of the "To Di For Daily" podcast and founder of ToDiForDaily.com, appeared on GB News and told Mark Dolan that, in her opinion, the Duchess of Cornwall is not racist. She even described Prince Charles' second wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles, among the "least problematic" royals.
"While I do love Diana, I think that Camilla has really earned her place within the royal family, and actually, now she's surprisingly one of the least problematic members of the British royal family," she continued. "It really is surprising if you think back," the author of R is for Revenge Dress added as quoted by Express.
Some people started to think that the Sussexes were referring to her as the alleged racist senior royal because Bower mentioned in his book that she joked about the appearance of Prince Harry and Markle's future children having "ginger Afro hair." Bower claimed that Prince Harry found it funny and initially laughed.
However, when he allegedly shared the joke with his wife, Markle did not find it funny and reportedly felt it was racist.
"Meghan’s reaction to that conversation turned Harry’s amusement into fury," Bower alleged.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Could Have Helped Camilla Parker-Bowles
Schofield mentioned a report from Page Six explaining that Camilla Parker-Bowles is not the racist royal and unlikely the person that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were referring to in their previous interview. According to her, the speculations about Camilla being racist could have been prevented if the couple just mentioned the royal whom they were referring to as the alleged racist because by not doing so, they sparked an "unfair witch hunt."
"I have to tell you over in America, Page Six, which is the number one gossip blog, the number one gossip outlet, it's been around forever, they say that Camilla's people and anonymous sources have reached out to them to let them know that Camilla is not the royal racist and she is not who Harry and Megan were talking about during the Oprah interview," Schofield said.
"They did not necessarily deny that comment, but they say that she is not racist and she is not the person Harry and Megan were talking about during the Oprah interview, which just leads me to repeat how unfair this witch hunt has been going on ever since that interview."
She added, "I wish they would have just come out and said who said exactly what so that we wouldn't be having this conversation every six months."
GB News TV presenters Mercy Muroki and Patrick Christys echoed Schofield's sentiment. They both believed it would be best if they dropped the name of the royal instead of subjecting all the senior members of the firm to the racist allegations.

"If you are going to lob an allegation out there and a very serious allegation out there, I think just by standards, you know norms, you should name the culprit," Christys said. "Because, otherwise, you tarnish everyone with the same brush, don't you?"
"If you're going to throw around allegations and then complain that no accountability has been taken, at least, say what the extent of the allegations, what exactly was said, what's the issue, who did what," Muroki added. "You can't then complain nothing is being done."
Do you agree that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should have shared the details? Markle told Oprah that they didn't want to name the royal because it would be damaging to them.
