Denise Welch and the Loose Women team experienced a performance by Andrea Bocelli, causing the panellist to poke fun at Kim Kardashian for “paying for” a show from the opera singer.

Andrea Bocelli performed on Wednesday’s episode of Loose Women, after which panellist Denise Welch poked fun at Kim Kardashian for “paying for” a performance from the opera star.

The Italian tenor performed an emotional rendition of Bambina Mia with his 12-year-old daughter Virginia on the series in light of his upcoming BST Hyde Park show. The singer joined the panel to discuss his upcoming concert at the London festival, which runs until July 14.

The former Coronation Street star couldn’t help but joke about experiencing one of the icon’s performances for free when the American reality star had to seemingly pay for the privilege. Of course, fans of the singer will recall how Kardashian and her ex-husband Kanye West invited Bocelli to sing at their Florence wedding in 2014.

Taking to Instagram, Welch marked the unforgettable moment Bocelli graced the Loose Women stage. She wrote above a re-posted video of the singer on the show: “I felt like I had a private audience with @andreabocelliofficial Kim Kardashian had to pay for that!!!”

Back at the former spouses’ wedding, the pair were pictured at the time intensely staring into each other’s eyes during one of the songs. E! News reported at the time that Bocelli performed several songs, including Ave Maria and his hit Con te partirò (With You I Will Leave).

Speaking recently on the talk show series, his child admitted that she was just eight years old when she first sang with her famous father to an audience. “I wasn’t supposed to sing. I’m not sure how it happened,” Virginia said.

Andrea then responded: “I had to sing Hallelujah and it has a lot of English words, so I asked Virginia to learn the song to sing it with me.” The pair performed in Palma, Mallorca, for her first performance.

“The song is about a dad who is talking to his daughter about life and love,” Virginia explained. “I got emotional when I was recording it, it took a long time to record it because I was bawling, and then my dad noticed and made fun of me.”

The star is due to take to the stage at Hyde Park on Friday. Andrea said the upcoming performance is “a dream come true for me”.

The international singer is set to sing alongside The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, which is conducted by Michele Spotti. The conductor has fulfilled the role of Musical Director of Marseille’s Opera House and Philharmonic Orchestra since 2023.

TV personality Myleene Klass is comparing the festival day. Festival-goers will also be treated to performances from Nadine Sierra, Isabel Leonard, and Luca Micheletti as well as a choir by the Crouch End Festival Chorus.

Palace Decision Infuriates Meghan Markle: No Duchy of Cornwall Income for Her

Recent reports suggest Meghan Markle’s outrage over not receiving a share of the Duchy of Cornwall’s income has reignited an old rumor. …

Recent reports suggest Meghan Markle’s outrage over not receiving a share of the Duchy of Cornwall’s income has reignited an old rumor.

This speculation first surfaced following Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, when it was whispered that Meghan and Prince Harry had ambitions to divert a portion of the Duchy’s funds to themselves.

Now, Meghan is reportedly keen to meet with King Charles to discuss the distribution of the Duchy’s wealth. Commentator Neil Sha notes that Meghan is particularly concerned about the financial disparity between her husband, Prince Harry, and his brother, Prince William.

Sha, a well-known royal commentator, points out that despite the public perception of Prince Harry and Meghan as wealthy figures, their financial situation might be more complicated than it seems.

Prince Harry is set to receive a lump sum when he turns 40 next month, but this inheritance might be quickly spent on substantial mortgage payments, security costs, and other living expenses.

Sha also highlights that Prince Harry has never been directly responsible for managing finances, a task reportedly handled by Meghan.

The core issue revolves around the significant wealth recently inherited by Prince William from the Duchy of Cornwall, a substantial estate passed down from King Charles. This inheritance has allowed Prince William and his wife, Catherine, to live comfortably without relying on state funding.

Meghan, however, believes this wealth should be shared between the two brothers, despite the longstanding tradition that the Duchy of Cornwall is reserved exclusively for the Prince of Wales.

According to a well-placed source, Meghan is unhappy with the current arrangement and wishes to address the matter directly with King Charles. She reportedly feels that both sons should be treated equally in terms of financial inheritance.

While royal protocol dictates that the Duchy of Cornwall belongs solely to the Prince of Wales, Meghan’s dissatisfaction with this tradition has prompted her to seek a meeting with the King to advocate for a more equitable distribution of wealth.

This request comes at a time when Prince William is under scrutiny for his financial decisions, particularly regarding the taxes he’ll pay on his Duchy inheritance.

The substantial windfall has undeniably made Prince William and Catherine incredibly wealthy, highlighting the stark contrast between their financial situation and that of Prince Harry and Meghan. Meghan’s desire for a meeting with King Charles is reportedly driven by her belief that the brothers should support each other.

However, any changes to the Duchy of Cornwall’s wealth distribution would require King Charles’s involvement and approval. The King, who has his own investments and private income, may be reluctant to alter established traditions, given the complexities involved.

In the meantime, Meghan and Harry are expected to continue facing financial challenges, despite the occasional luxury, such as a new handbag for Harry’s upcoming birthday.

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash admitted they sleep in separate bedrooms during a conversation on Celebrity Gogglebox.

Stacey Solomon fears “the spark could eventually fizzle out” with husband Joe Swash and reportedly misses when they had “sex almost daily”.

It comes after the 34-year-old admitted she and Joe, 42, sleep in different beds during a recent episode of Celebrity Gogglebox. An insider has now told Closer that mum-of-five Stacey fears the couple will start to feel more like a “room mates than lovers”.

Stacey and Joe, share children Rex, five, Rose two, and Belle, 16 months, together while the Loose Women panellist has sons Zachary, 16 and Leighton, 12, from a previous relationship. But insiders say having three young children in a short space of time has “put a strain” on the relationship.

The insider said: “Right now, she’s worried they could start to feel more like room mates than lovers and if they don’t start making a conscious effort to carve out time for each other and find more of a balance, the spark could fizzle out and they might never get it back.”

Stacey and Joe have been open about their sex life. With Stacey previously admitting she would “rather eat than have sex”, confessing she worried her sex drive was too low.

The insider said the pair had previously pledged to make a conscious effort to reignite the passion in their relationship. They added: “Stacey misses that intense physical connection they had when they first started dating in 2015 – admitting they couldn’t keep their hands off each other and would have sex almost daily.”

Stacey and Joe are now said to be making more time for each other, agreeing to weekly date nights, to help juggle their busy careers and family life. The insider says they are also planning a romantic getaway for their second wedding anniversary.

Stacey is said to have told pals she has bought “loads of new sexy underwear” to surprise EastEnders actor Joe. While Stacey and Joe are said to be concerned about the spark, the insider says the pair “love the family they’ve created” and are “crazy about each other”.

King Charles Warns Prince Harry: ‘You Sold Your Birthright!’ After He Inquires About Late Queen’s Will

Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8th, 2022, at the age of 96, marking the end of her record-breaking 70-year reign as Britain’s monarch. Her passing sent shock waves throughout the world, as people mourned the loss of a remarkable and beloved figure. This significant event also set in motion a transition for the monarchy, with Prince Charles ascending to the throne as King Charles III, and his wife, Camilla, assuming the role of queen consort. 

As the world watched this historic moment unfold, it became evident that the monarchy’s future role in British society would depend on its ability to adapt to changing times and garner support from the British people.  The passing of Queen Elizabeth II brought about a period of national mourning in Britain and beyond. The queen had been a constant presence in the lives of the British people, offering stability and continuity throughout times of great change. From her coronation in 1952 to her final days, she embodied the essence of duty, grace, and dedication to public service. Her legacy is one of tireless devotion to her country, her people, and the Commonwealth.

As King Charles III took his place on the throne, accompanied by Queen Consort Camilla, the monarchy entered a new era. The transition to a new reign was met with interest, curiosity, and respect from people around the world. The Royal Family’s role in modern society has evolved over the years, adapting to the changing expectations and aspirations of the British people.

Now, more than ever, the monarchy must navigate the challenges of a rapidly changing world while preserving its traditions and values. With King Charles III ascending to the throne, his son, Prince William, and his wife, Kate, took on new titles as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge. This move reflects their growing importance within the royal family and solidified William’s position as the direct heir to the throne.

The couple, known for their relatability and dedication to charitable causes, have become increasingly influential figures in the public eye. Their role in shaping the future of the monarchy will undoubtedly be significant. One notable aspect of the transition to a new reign was the decision of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, to step back from their royal duties. This decision, made prior to Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, remains unchanged. Harry and Meghan have embarked on a path of independence, seeking to forge their own identities and make a difference in the world on their own terms.

Their departure from the royal fold has sparked debates about the modernization of the monarchy and the balance between tradition and individual freedom.

Queen Elizabeth II’s legacy extends far beyond her long reign. Throughout her life, she embodied the ideals of public service and charity, working tirelessly to make a positive impact on the lives of others. From her involvement with numerous charities to her diplomatic efforts in strengthening ties with nations around the world, the queen was a unifying figure who connected with people from all walks of life. Her genuine empathy and dedication to her role endeared her to millions, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those she touched.

Looking ahead, the monarchy’s future role in British society remains uncertain. It will depend on the ability of the Royal Family to adapt to the changing needs and expectations of the British people. The monarchy must continue to find relevance in a rapidly evolving world while upholding its traditions and values. Public support will be vital in shaping the monarchy’s future, as the British people hold the power to determine the institution’s place in modern society.

The world watched the transition to a new reign with a mix of emotions: interest, curiosity, and respect. The British Monarchy, with its rich history and tradition, continues to captivate the global imagination. As the new era unfolds, the world eagerly awaits the imprint that King Charles III and his family will leave on the monarchy.

The challenges they face are great, but so are the opportunities to redefine and reinforce the institution’s role in the 21st century. The passing of Queen Elizabeth II marked the end of an era and set in motion a transition to a new reign. Her legacy as a dedicated monarch and her commitment to public service will forever be remembered.

The monarchy’s future lies in its ability to adapt and connect with the British people while upholding its traditions and values. As the world watches, the royal family embarks on a new chapter, carrying the hopes and expectations of a nation and the world at large.

Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford announced they are in the process of a divorce, after 14 years of marriage, back in May

Ruth Langsford is reportedly open to meeting somebody new following her split from long-term husband Eamonn Holmes and “hasn’t ruled out things like dating apps”. Through their spokesperson back in May, the couple confirmed they had called it quits after 14 years of marriage in a statement nobody saw coming.

The Loose Women star has since remained silent about their separation and has taken an extended break from her television duties, while Eamonn has returned to his GB News show and has thanked fans for their support. The broadcaster has also reportedly been spending time with relationship counsellor Katie Alexander, 42, who is said to have visited his place numerous times.

Following this, a source has said that friends of Ruth “have been rallying around” her “and telling her to meet someone new”. They added to Best Magazine: “Ruth has been completely shocked by it all. She doesn’t feel ready, if truth be told, but she has been left reeling after seeing Eamonn get close to a new woman.

“She never thought in a million years there would be talk of either of them moving on after just publicly announcing their split, but her friends have said that if Eamonn is moving on with someone new, then there’s no reason why she shouldn’t as well.”

While it’s unlikely that the mother-of-one will go public with a new romance anytime soon, friends reportedly have “a long list of men” they believe would put a smile back on her face when she is ready.

“They feel she could easily have a revenge romance tomorrow if she needs to,” the source added.

“Dating feels like a terrifying other world to Ruth, but her pals have promised to hold her hand through the process once she’s ready.”

They went on to say that while she is “excited about her romantic future”, she will “tread carefully”, particularly with being in the public eye.

Representatives for Ruth and Eamonn have been contacted for comment by The Mirror.

The former This Morning presenters married back in 2010 at Elvetham Hall in Hampshire and later welcomed their only child together into the world, a son named Jack, now 22.

The GB News presenter also has three older children with his first wife Gabrielle Holmes.

According to the Mail Online, Ruth will break her silence about the split when she returns to Loose Women next week.

A source told the publication: “The presenters on Loose Women have a history of opening up about their marriage splits on air and it’s a very supportive environment.

“Ruth knows the viewers are heavily invested in her breakup so she will be addressing her and Eamonn for the first time on the show.”

The source goes onto claim that once she addresses the split, she will then draw a line under it and has no plans to speak further.

Loose Women viewers were left confused on Monday as Linda Robson spoke about her ‘husband’ and being married for 33 years despite announcing her split last year

Loose Women’s Linda Robson left viewers confused on Monday after a cryptic marriage comment.

The TV star, 66, confirmed her separation from Mark Dunford last year and earlier this year ruled out finding love again as she planned to move out of her long-term home into a two-bed house near her children. However, on Monday’s episode of Loose Women, Linda spoke about about her ‘husband’ and being married for 33 years, leaving viewers confused.

During the latest episode, the panellists aired a debate titled: “Does marriage work better for men than women?” to which Linda said: “I think once the kids leave home it’s all different then, because that’s the glue that keeps you all together. I think once the kids are gone and they’ve got their own lives and they don’t need you anymore – I think then it all changes.

“So yeah, I’ve been married 33 years and I’m getting old now. I just want to enjoy the last few years that I’ve got left, so I went on holiday on my own but my son and his partner were out there as well. So it was just really nice, but I’ll go away on my own anyway and I’m very sociable but my husband’s not that sociable, so I’ve always done things on my own anyway.”

Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were left confused over Linda talking about being married for 33 years and calling Mark her husband following their split. One person said: “I thought Linda’s marriage was over? #LooseWomen” to which others interacted with the tweet. The Mirror has contacted Linda’s representative for comment.

It comes as Linda opened up about her split earlier this year from Mark, the father of her children Louis, 32, and Bobbie, 28. The TV star said at the time that there was nothing dramatic about the split and they simply grew apart, telling OK! magazine: “People do, sometimes, don’t they? We never had that much in common. I’m very sociable. Mark never enjoyed that side of things.”

“I’ve been sad about it, of course I have,” she added. “But we had two lovely children together. But they’re all grown up, living their own lives now. Now, it’s me and Dolly the dog. [But] I’m in a really good place. Work’s good.”

In a stunning revelation that could shake the foundations of the monarchy, Lady Colin Campbell has claimed to possess irrefutable evidence proving that Meghan Markle’s pregnancy with Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was a complete fabrication.

The outspoken royal commentator has alleged that the Duchess of Sussex never carried a child and that the entire pregnancy narrative was a carefully orchestrated public relations stunt.

Campbell, known for her no-holds-barred opinions on the royal family, has long been a vocal critic of Meghan Markle. However, her latest claims are by far her most explosive to date.

The socialite and author has hinted at possessing photographic and documentary evidence that would unequivocally expose the alleged deception. If true, these revelations would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the royal family and the world at large.

 

The allegations have ignited a firestorm of controversy, with social media ablaze with speculation and debate. Supporters of the Sussexes have dismissed Campbell’s claims as baseless and malicious, accusing her of spreading harmful misinformation. 

However, others have expressed skepticism about certain aspects of Meghan’s pregnancy, pointing to inconsistencies in her public appearances and behavior.

The controversy surrounding Meghan Markle’s pregnancy has been simmering for some time. Questions have been raised about the speed with which she appeared to recover from childbirth, the lack of clear pregnancy photographs, and the unusual nature of her maternity wardrobe. Campbell’s claims have reignited these discussions, forcing the public to reexamine the evidence available.

If proven true, the allegations would have far-reaching implications for the Sussexes. It would raise serious questions about the couple’s credibility and trustworthiness and could irreparably damage their relationship with the royal family. The scandal would also have a profound impact on public perception of the monarchy, exposing a level of deception that could undermine its authority and legitimacy.

As the story unfolds, the public will be watching closely to see if Lady Colin Campbell can substantiate her claims. The stakes are high, not only for Meghan Markle but for the entire royal institution.

Loose Women star Linda Robson has revealed the warning her kids have given her as she continues to be outspoken on screen

Linda Robson has admitted the one show her kids have warned her from appearing on.

The outspoken Loose Women star, 66, is known for saying it how it is, but she admits her kids sometimes offer her some much-needed advice.

Linda revealed she is loving her time the daytime talk show, but knows she can sometimes go a little bit overboard. In a recent interview, the former Birds of a Feather star admitted she had to have a sit-down talk with her three kids to work out what was “off limits” when it comes to sharing her personal life with the public.

Speaking to Woman Magazine, she said: “We already had all that [off limits chat] with my book. Normally I’m OK – they know that they can trust me at the moment. But I am known for getting into trouble on the show quite a lot.”

Linda also opened up on the one show her kids – Lauren, 41, Louis 32 and Roberta, 28 – have banned her from following her split from the father of her youngest two children, Mark Dunford. She revealed she had been asked to appear on Celebs Go Dating, but her kids have demanded she rejects any approach.

She continued: “I was asked to do Celebs Go Dating, and my kids said. ‘You can’t,” but I think I’d be really funny on their and I’m not going to have sex with anyone or anything – I’d just have a laugh – but they told me ‘No, you’re not doing that!”

Teasing a potential appearance anyway, she opened up on how Vanessa Feltz appeared on the show and is said to have received a generous pay packet for her time.

Linda also revealed the prank she played on her kids after they advised her against heading into the Celebrity Big Brother House. They had told their mum that she only had to say one thing wrong and her career could be in tatters.

Despite her insistence she wouldn’t, she opted against entering – but not before having some fun with them. She explained on the night of the show’s launch she purposely didn’t answer her phone. “They were rinigng me, but because they’d told me I couldn’t do it, I decided not to answer the phone,” she revealed.

The summer months are filled with some of the most important events for the royal family, such as the yearly Trooping the Colour, the Royal Ascot horse races, and a royal wedding. The Duke may be feeling overwhelmed by the attention he receives at these high-profile events, which often feature royal appearances.

According to royal expert and author of *Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family*, Tom Quinn, the prince is experiencing nostalgic feelings for his former life across the pond. While the Duke wishes to spend more time in England, Quinn told *The Mirror* that the Duchess has already stated her intention not to return to the UK. “The Duke wants to spend more time in the UK, but he knows he is going to have to do it alone,” said Quinn. “It is no secret that the Duchess has made it clear that she has no plans to go back to England. If the Duke wants to mend fences with his family, this will make it very difficult for him to do so.”

Quinn continued by discussing the Duke’s friendships, noting that he longs for his military friends and that, with the honeymoon period of his major relocation to California over, the reality of living so far away from home is beginning to sink in.

“After the excitement of moving to the US, the honeymoon period is now over, and the Duke is beginning to find time hangs heavy for him. He is increasingly nostalgic for much of his old life back in the UK. For all his problems with his family, he always loved his military and school friends, and he misses them.”

Speaking after reports surfaced that the Sussexes used to have a hidden estate in the Cotswolds where they frequently hosted guests and parties, the royal insider said that the couple enjoyed being away from the media and public glare in London. In his biography *Spare*, the Duke of Sussex remarked that he considered the cottage to be his forever home until it wasn’t.

They resided at the rural property while Frogmore Cottage was being rebuilt. “This very spot was planned to serve as my permanent residence at one point,” he reported. “In reality, it had been little more than a quick pit stop.”
