Meghan tarvitsi kriisiviestintäasiantuntijoiden apua selvitäkseen Rydman-kohusta

Meghanin tiedottaja on pyrkinyt vaimentamaan keskustelua yhteiskuvasta ja on antanut ymmärtää, että kuvaan meneminen oli herttuattarelta virhe.

social media users have uncovered Rydman’s controversial past, including allegations of racism and sexual harassment

Meghan's spokesman has said it is impossible to vet everyone who asks her for a selfie, adding: 'To be absolutely clear, the Duchess does not know Mr Rydman, had no prior awareness of him attending the event, and was unfamiliar with the concerning reports relating to him.'

Wille Rydman, Finland's minister for social affairs and health, once allegedly joked about being a Na zi and was accused of calling people from the Middle East 'desert monkeys'.

In a series of text messages to a girlfriend, later leaked to a newspaper, he also allegedly said Somalian people were spreading 'like weeds' and reportedly said he'd prefer to ban Muslim women in headscarves - more than headscarves themselves.
