Loose Women presenter Denise Welch has made her feelings about Queen Consort, Camilla Parker Bowles very clear ahead of King Charles’ Coronation on May 6

Denise Welch has branded King Charles’ wife Camilla a “side piece” in a savage rant against the royals.

The Loose Women presenter, 64, admitted she wasn’t ‘enthusiastic’ about the Coronation on May 6, in which both Charles, 74, and Camilla, 75, will be crowned at Westminster Abbey

“I’m not particularly a Camilla fan,” Denise revealed on Loose Women. “The fact is I just think she was there from the beginning of his marriage to Diana and I think it’s disrespectful to Prince Harry and… and I can’t get over that she was the side piece.

“I feel like [for] a lot of people, the monarchy isn’t the same since the Queen died.”

The former Coronation actress added she was “trying to get some enthusiasm for the coronation and I haven’t got any.”

Denise’s comments come amid reports Harry and Meghan risk facing “monumental cold shouldering” at the King’s Coronation, as plans for the big day have finally been revealed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are still yet to decide whether they will attend the celebration, but they’ll have to make their mind up soon.

Royal expert and commentator Daniela Elser has warned the couple will have to accept “a B-list part in proceedings” if they do attend.

“Being spurned by your brother, sister-in-law and pretty much everyone aside from an inconsequential cousin or two, with every moment caught on camera for our home-viewing delectation, sounds about as enjoyable as going to one of the Duchess of York’s book readings.

“Even if they can stomach the monumental cold shouldering, they then face having to accept a B-list part in proceedings,” she wrote in news.com.au.

The Coronation falls on the same day as Prince Archie’s birthday and Harry is said to be concerned about how the tot’s special day will be celebrated.

It is believed the three-year-old prince and his sister one-year-old Princess Lilibet have not even been invited to the Coronation, with sources citing that the children are “very young”.

But royal insiders claim Netflix stars Harry and Meghan have been in conversations with the Palace about whether they’ll attend, which seem promising – but there is a “time crunch”.

The cut-off point for RSVPs has reportedly passed, but still no decision from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has been revealed, which is said to be causing a major headache for organisers.

However, according to The Times, the Sussexes are set to reveal their intentions “within days”.
