The Princess of Wales has sent a clear message to her fans and critics about her future plans with her latest move, according to an expert.

 

The Princess of Wales is said to be keen to “let bygones be bygones” as she issued an ‘unedited’ new photo of birthday boy Prince Louis, showing the young Prince grinning at the camera as he lies barefoot on a blanket on the grass.

The photo comes just weeks after the furore surrounding a Mother’s Day portrait which the princess admitted editing. Kate had to issue a public apology for it.

Royal expert and historian Dr Tessa Dunlop believes the release of the new picture shows that Kate wants to “forgive us for our scurrilous speculation.”

“Kensington Palace could easily have let this birthday go – Louis is only six, he’s not in line to inherit the throne, his mother is having cancer treatment, his father is trying to multi-task and the general public’s propensity towards conspiracy theories has hardly covered us in glory.” the expert told

Meghan Markle in Panic: Shocking Footage Allegedly Shows Lilibet’s Biological Mother Reclaiming Her Daughter

 A woman named Maria Gonzalez, who used to work as the housekeeper at the Montecito estate of our daring Duke and Duchess of Deceit, has ste…

A woman named Maria Gonzalez, who used to work as the housekeeper at the Montecito estate of our daring Duke and Duchess of Deceit, has stepped forward with the mother of all claims. Gonzalez is outright alleging that she, not Meghan, is the actual biological mother of Harry and Meghan’s daughter, Lilibet. 

Unbelievably, if this is true, it would mean that Harry and Meghan’s hollow victimhood rallying cry of “she’s my baby, my literal flesh and blood” has been a deceitful sham from day one.

All their grand self-promotional narratives about fighting the good fight for mothers and proudly embracing her multicultural heritage with Lilibet are a total fabrication, fueled by the most serious betrayal imaginable—stealing another woman’s biological child. Has there ever been a more disgustingly cynical attempt to empower your vapid brand at someone else’s expense?

Even for the unrepentant grifters we know Harry and Meghan to be, this would absolutely nuke past all boundaries of repugnant personal conduct. Based on Meghan’s demonstrable history as a deceiver and fabulist, these allegations are more than plausible.

 

For all her lofty preaching about progressive feminism and supporting women’s causes, Meghan has repeatedly revealed herself as the epitome of self-serving elitism mixed with blatant hypocrisy. Her claims of being an oppressed voice for the marginalized are constantly undermined by entitled actions that harm and marginalize those around her. 

How many royal staffers had their careers and reputations baselessly scorched amid Meghan’s bullying outbursts? Just the logistics alone required to pull off this level of alleged chicanery are truly astonishing. It’s next-level audacity—a grift of the perfect crime variety, requiring mountains of depraved dishonesty. We’re asked to believe this American minor royal accomplished it all while under the ever-watchful gaze of UK tabloids. More likely, if these claims are accurate, the surrogacy was carefully planned and bankrolled in secret.

Leave it to the unparalleled manipulators that are the Sussexes to potentially view the arrival of their second child as simply another leverage point to be gained. In her twisted thinking, secretly stealing another woman’s baby could be the most authentic way to reinforce those phony ethnic struggles. Trust me, if her blatant lies about marrying Harry before the actual wedding for cheap publicity show us anything, it’s that Meghan has zero qualms about deception.

With the potential bombshell of Lilibet’s real parentage now exploding onto the scene, not only will Meghan’s PR narrative about being a preserving minority mom be discredited, but the entire “woe is me” ethnic oppression facade she’s been spinning for years will crumble into dust. No wonder Gonzalez’s legal team has a trove of evidence ready to deploy. The optics alone of a well-intentioned woman of color exploited by this fame-hungry elite phenom from Montecito would utterly obliterate Meghan’s pristine, protected persona.

Don’t think this potential legal clown show would remain contained out there on the West Coast. No, the ripple effects and implications would extend far past this. If proven true, you can expect those dopey royal overlords back in Blighty to snatch Lilibet away from Harry and Meghan faster than you can say “custody hearing.”

Meanwhile, the fallout would only intensify the already raging dumpster fires of scandals and embarrassments plaguing the firm’s tattered reputation. What better ammunition for critics than revelations that the highest-profile royals lied to the world about welcoming a child?

Inside Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle’s tense relationship — and how it became so frosty

Kate Middleton turns 41 on Monday — the day before her brother-in-law Prince Harry’s heavily publicized memoir “Spare” finally goes on sale.

It will likely not be the happiest of days for the princess.

“Harry and Meghan do always have a knack of picking their timing,” said one highly placed royal source who knows Prince William and Kate. The Prince and Princess of Wales, the source said, have been left “reeling” from Harry’s bombshell book.

But it wasn’t always like this. In fact, when William popped the question to Kate after eight years together, his younger brother Harry was thrilled, saying in 2010 about his brother’s wedding: “It means I get a sister, which I have always wanted.”

The woman whom Harry once spoke about in glowing terms is presented as cold and uncaring in his book, however.

“Kate, William and Harry were such best buddies, they were inseparable,” said the Wales source. “These are the words of a man so literally blinded by love he can’t see straight.”

But in “Spare,” Harry blames Kate for taking his beloved brother “Willy” away from him, writing that after their April 2011 wedding: “The brother I’d escorted into Westminster Abbey that morning was gone — forever. Who could deny it?”

Contradictorily, Harry writes how he’d long dreamed of forging a working partnership with William, Kate and his own wife — even before he met and fell in love with the “Suits” star in 2016.

“I also said I couldn’t wait for them to meet her, that I looked forward to the four of us spending lots of time together, and I confessed, for the umpteenth time, that this had long been my dream — to join them with an equal partner. To become a foursome,” Harry writes.

Instead, Kate and Markle were never close friends.

From the minute her relationship with the prince was revealed, Markle was publicly compared to Kate, Britain’s future queen: the English Rose against the outspoken American actress.

According to Harry’s book, as attention shifted to Markle, Kate felt that she was being “forced to compete with Meg.” He details how Kate “grimaced” when Markle asked to borrow some lip gloss at their first “Fab Four” event, a Royal Foundation Forum appearance in February 2018.

The Duke of Sussex writes that the outing marked the beginning of the women being divided by the press after journalists “sensed” tension during the panel.

“I think it had Kate on edge while putting her and everyone else on notice that she was now going to be compared to, and forced to compete with, Meg,” Harry writ

He adds that Kate was furious in 2018 when Markle accused her of having “baby brain” following the birth of Prince Louis and demanded that Markle apologize.

After this, Harry said the couples came together over tea at Kensington Palace in June 2018 to try and reconcile.

However, the prince alleges that Kate told her new sister-in-law: “You talked about my hormones. We are not close enough for you to talk about my hormones!”

Harry, now 38, recalls how an “offended” Kate gripped her chair so tightly that her fingers turned white.

“I can imagine Harry and William coming to blows, to be honest. I think William is quite hot-headed,” said the Wales source. “But Kate has been one of Harry’s biggest supporters, so this is really heartbreaking.”

Despite the hurtful comments, the source insisted that William and Kate won’t be torn apart by the book, saying: “They’re so united, they’re made of such strong stuff.” Still, “everyone is pretty shocked, they’re reeling. Let’s be honest, it’s been blow after blow after blow.

“It’s so disrespectful, so hurtful, and [the book is just delivering the last blow. It’s like when you’re in the boxing ring and there’s the knockout punch — there’s no way back.”

In Harry and Markle’s infamous 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle, now 41, confirmed that she felt she had been held to a different standard than Kate.

Winfrey shared a media story in which Kate was celebrated for cradling her baby bump — while a later story about Markle doing the same thing had the headline: “Meghan Can’t Keep Hands Off Baby Bump for Pride or Vanity.”

According to Harry, Kate was so offended by Markle saying she had “baby brain,” it prompted a sit-down conversation between the two couples.Getty Images
“I don’t know why. I can see now what layers were at play there,” Markle told Winfrey.
“[The press] really seemed to want a narrative of a hero and a villain.”

While Markle has been happy to speak out, Kate has stuck to the royal family’s oft-repeated motto — “Never complain, never explain’ —  and, like her husband and the rest of the relatives, remained quiet.

Markle herself claimed in the recent Netflix docu-series “Harry & Meghan” that Kate was “formal” behind closed doors.

“Even when Will and Kate came over and I was meeting her for the first time I remember I was in ripped jeans, I was barefoot,” she said.

The Duchess of Sussex added that she has “always been a hugger” and did not realize how “jarring” it was for “a lot of Brits.”

But an insider retaliated by telling People magazine that Kate is a hugger, adding: “She is warm and friendly and greets everyone with a big hug and kiss. It comes naturally to her to be like that.”

There was also a row over the bridesmaid dress for Princess Charlotte, William and Kate’s daughter, for the Sussexes’ wedding in May 2018. While reports said that Markle made Kate cry, but Markle told Winfrey it was the other way around; Harry writes that he arrived home after the incident to find his fiancée on the floor, sobbing.

“I was horrified to see [Meghan] so upset, but I didn’t think it was a catastrophe,” he writes, downplaying the situation. “Indeed the next morning Kate came by with flowers and a card that said she was sorry.”

As Page Six has written before, Kate has a strong family support with her parents, Carole and Mike Middleton, as well as her sister, Pippa, and brother, James, and the family has embraced William. Harry, meanwhile, seems to have bonded with Markle’s mother, Doria.

Asked about what Harry’s book means for his relationship with William and Kate, the source who knows the Waleses said: “I hope there will have been moments of conscience for Harry when he was writing this. I think there was a moment when people thought it would be a smarter, less provocative, less tabloid book, but here we are.”

‘No trust’: Kate sought to ‘keep Meghan away from her’ during UK visit, expert claimsKate, the Princess of Wales and Meghan Markle’s relationship has been strained over the years, with royal commentator Neil Sean claiming the Duchess tried to keep her distance from her sister-in-law during her return to the UK.

Queen’s funeral: Meghan Markle arrives at Westminster Abbey

On September 10, during the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent visit to the UK, the couple made a surprise appearance alongside the newly-appointed Prince and Princess of Wales in Windsor. The two couples, previously termed the ‘Fab Four‘ by the press, joined forces to meet royal mourners lining the streets and viewed flower tributes in honour of the late monarch. According to royal expert Neil Sean, Kate sought to “keep Meghan away from her” during the Sussexes’ UK visit.

 

Speaking in a recent video on his YouTube channel, Mr Sean said: “She [Kate] was indeed terrified and wanted Meghan to keep away from her.

“Simply, because she felt that whatever was said, discussed, even an informal chat, could have been leaked out.”

He added: “I’m not suggesting, and neither was Catherine I might point out, that even small talk, but you seemingly never know.

“As we told you recently, Gayle King seemingly had a hotline to whatever was going on.

Queen funeral invite surprised Meghan as Duchess expected to be shunned – expert claims

Meghan Markle was surprised to be invited to the Queen’s state funeral, as a source claimed the Duchess of Sussex was “resigned” to missing the event.

 

“[And] was able to speak, at length, to a media US team about, you know, the fact that things weren’t going particularly well.”

He added that you can “understand Catherine’s reticence to get involved”.

He also added that, “according to a very good source”, Carole Middleton has “read that book” by Tom Bower.

Mr Sean added that due to this alleged claim, “you can imagine, what’s been passed over to Catherine.”

Speaking previously to Seven News, body language expert Katia Loisel discussed Meghan and Kate at the recent walkabout.

Ms Loisel claimed that Kate “looked through” Meghan.

She added that Kate appeared “reluctant to interact”, despite William’s notable effects to “include and connect with” Harry and Meghan.

The body language expert noted that “the gaze wasn’t reciprocated” when Meghan appeared to glaze over at Kate “on numerous occasions”, claiming that this suggested “underlying tension between the pair.”

 

Prince Harry is being pressured by his dad King Charles to make a bold move to resolve the feud with his brother Prince William – and “neatly get around the problem of Meghan Markle”.

 

That’s according to a Royal expert, who has suggested Princes Harry and William could be on the brink of mending their strained relationship,

Tom Quinn, a Royal commentator and author, has revealed that the Duke of Sussex is being urged by the King to find a UK residence so that Charles can spend more quality time

with his grandchildren, Archie and Lillibet. This move could potentially pave the way for a reunion between the two brothers on British soil.

However, Mr Quinn doubts that Meghan Markle would accompany her husband, given her past negative experiences with the Royal Family.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Mr Quinn stated: “King Charles has been putting pressure on Harry to do just this as he is angry that his only relationship with his grandchildren so far is via video calls, which Charles hates. William and Kate’s children would spend the weekend at Highgrove and Harry’s children could then easily pop over from their house nearby.

“This would neatly get round the problem of Meghan – she just wouldn’t need to be there and the children could be whisked back to the States after a week or two.”

Despite Quinn’s speculations, Harry’s life is currently rooted in the US and he has previously discussed the possibility of becoming an American citizen. During an interview with Good Morning America, he was asked whether he had considered applying for citizenship in the States.During an interview with William Reeve, Prince Harry was quizzed: “Do you feel American?” To which he candidly replied: “Do I feel American? No… I don’t know how I feel.”

Kate Middleton is ‘pushing Meghan Markle into the background’ as Princess ‘sees off’ sister-in-law

A royal expert has claimed Kate Middleton is ‘pushing Meghan Markle into the background’

The Princess of Wales’ popularity with the British public is ‘absolutely assured’ according to a royal expert

Kate is “pushing” Meghan Markle further into the background, an expert has claimed in a damning look into the inner workings of the Royal Family.

Former royal correspondent Nicholas Owens made the claims as he praised the Princess of Wales for coming “into her own” as she begins to embrace her new role in the Royal Family five months in.

Last week, Kate and Prince William’s made a historic first trip to Cornwall during which they visited the National Maritime Museum Cornwall and tried their hand at riveting on a Helford Delta Class boat dating back to the 1940s.

They were greeted by cheering crowds during the trip who lined the streets to get a glimpse at the couple.

Now, a royal expert has claimed Kate’s popularity amongst the public is set in stone.

Nicholas Owens said: “[Kate’s] popularity is absolutely assured.

“She’s got new advisors around her, particularly one lady.

“A real toughy is, a sort of, one of her main assistants.”

Owens continued to Sky News Australia: “Beyond the exterior that we all see, the smiling face, the easy way with crowds, the wonderful way Kate has with children, there is also some steel going on there.

 

“The determination to sort of set herself out a role, rather as you say, but is she seeing off Meghan in the process.

“Well, if that’s a byproduct of what’s going on, how jolly convenient, that would be nice wouldn’t it, pushing Meghan further and further into the background.”

Recently, Kate employed a branding and marketing expert as her private secretary.

A royal insider claimed the move was a “clear sign” she was rebranding herself.

They said: “What the Princess of Wales is doing is a very clear sign that she is redefining herself now that she has this new role.”

Speaking to the Telegraph they explained that Kate has a “greater platform now” and so has to have “the right team to deliver for her”.

Last week, Kate gave royal fans an exclusive insight into her life with the launch of a brand new Instagram account.

She launched the new social media account to platform the work she carries out on early childhood awareness.

As part of the launch, Kate shared an image of herself as a baby as she urged people to speak to their family and friends.

In the photo, a young Kate can be seen reaching out to her father, Michael Middleton, who is holding her.

She is wearing a summer dress in the photograph which was taken by her mother Carole.

It was part of her campaign called “Shaping Us” which was set up to raise awareness of the vital role early years play in shaping the rest of a child’s life.

 

Love Island couples who will stay together after Casa Amor predicted by TV relationship expert

With Love Island’s Casa Amor set to shake things up in the villa, relationship expert Michelle Elman has shared her thoughts on which couples will recouple and which ones will have their heads turned

After making a splash on our screens last month, Love Island has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Now, with Casa Amor shaking things up, the Islanders are at a crucial juncture, facing the ultimate challenge to see if their budding romances can withstand the temptation of 12 new sizzling singles.

Life coach Michelle Elman, dubbed the Queen Of Boundaries, has dished out her predictions on which couples will make it through the highly-anticipated recoupling and who might benefit from the fresh faces in Casa Amor to spark some new flames.

She said: “Usually at this stage, couples are more cemented by the time Casa Amor arrives than they have been this season so the likelihood of all couples being switched up is quite high. Ciaran and Nicole are the most likely to survive it, having said that they love each other and therefore implying they are the most committed.”

“The main issue these two have been having is feeling secure in the relationship, especially on Nicole’s side, but this may be an indication of their age as one of the youngest couples.”

Michelle pointed out that while other duos have shown more consistency, there’s a sense that some Love Island pairs are holding out for someone better to come along. With six new lads and lasses entering the fray, we could be in for some serious head-turning action, reports OK!.

“Whilst Uma and Wil, and Ayo and Mimii have been the most consistent, the concern is that they have both been using each other as a placeholder until a better option comes along which means their heads could be turned,” she explained. “Matilda and Sean also are at risk, their interest in each other seems mutual but there is a potential for a better match with more chemistry.”

However, while some couples may find Casa Amor to be a relationship test, others might discover that the twist in format boosts their confidence in finding love a factor that could stir things up in the villa.

“We’ve also seen in the past how individuals who’ve had little interest like Sean, enter Casa Amor and since their self-esteem has grown, they seize the opportunities that the switch-up brings. Grace, Joey, Jess, Trey and Jessy as the newest couples are most likely to see shifts,” Michelle elaborated.

Michelle’s predictions follow Love Island star Ciaran Davies’ mum Hayley expressing her concerns for Casa Amor after revealing that her son already has a connection with new girl Ellie Jackson.

On Love Island’s spin-off show, Aftersun, on Sunday, June 30, she said: “I think he should stay with Nicole I do. I like her yeah.”

“But there’s a lady in there, what’s her name, yeah Ellie [Jackson], he knows her. I think Ellie had chased, Ellie had conversations with Ciaran. They like each others posts on Instagram, we have done our homework!.”

Further expressing her concerns she said: “So I am a bit worried about what clips are going to be shown.”

Meghan Markle is ‘laughing stock among Hollywood elite’ over ‘disastrous’ business streak

Meghan Markle is reportedly a ‘laughing stock among the Hollywood elite’ over her ‘disastrous’ business streak, it has been claimed by sources speaking to an American outlet

Meghan Markle is reportedly a ‘laughing stock among the Hollywood elite’ over her ‘disastrous’ business streak

Meghan Markle is said to have become a laughing stock among the Hollywood elite and royals over her “disastrous” business streak, it has been claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex is in the midst of launching her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which she announced earlier this year. The brand, which is set to sell items like jams and home decor items, has already been soft-launched, with influencers and celebrities like Kris Jenner already sent a press mailer of the brand’s strawberry jam.

But as Meghan prepares to launch her brand while working on two Netflix shows with her husband, and also plans to launch her project with Lemonada, it has been claimed that she is being laughed at by A-listers in Hollywood.

Speaking to In Touch, a source said: “Almost everything they’ve tried has ended in disaster.” Before a different source added: “Hollywood is glam and glitz on the outside, but the real stars have worked hard for their success — and you get the impression hard work isn’t really Meghan’s thing.”

The second source went on: “She was a nobody when she married Harry in 2018 but immediately thought she deserved a place at the A-listers’ table. “Now, after all her failures, those A-listers — and the royals — are laughing at her!”

Meanwhile, the first source, a courtier, went on to touch on how they believe Meghan’s new projects “are destined to fail,” which is due to to her lack of experience in building a brand. They said: “If the public doesn’t like you, they won’t get behind you, and no amount of money you throw at the problem will make it go away.”

This comes as the Sussexes prepare to celebrate their first-born child’s fifth birthday. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor will turn five on May 6, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex set to celebrate the young prince’s birthday with him and his younger sister Princess Lilibet.

Prince Harry will then jet – solo and without Meghan – from California to England for an event on May 8. The Duke will be back in his home country for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, where he will give a speech at St Paul’s Cathedral during a thanksgiving service.

Loose Women star Denise Welch left her fellow panellists momentarily lost for words after sharing a risque detail about her love life. The ex-Coronation Street actress was in the midst of a conversation about rekindling romance when she divulged the personal anecdote on Tuesday, May 28. In a discussion with Charlene White, Katie Piper, and Brenda Edwards, Denise, 66, opened up about her husband Lincoln Townley, 51. She light-heartedly remarked that he “has always been, urm, into older women, so he got his dream on my 66th birthday obviously.”

Laughter ensued from the audience as Denise continued: “It’s difficult because it’s half-term and they give us this topic to talk about but, when we first got together, everything was active, a lot of the time. To the point that we once had to pull into a hotel to be more active for an hour and then drive on.” Her co-hosts were visibly shocked by the frank confession, their expressions a mix of astonishment and bewilderment, reports the Mirror.

Denise went on: “We don’t necessarily do that anymore, but it’s still important to us. But when I think about keeping the spark, I don’t think it’s just about always the sexual spark.” Once the initial surprise wore off, Charlene regained her poise, while Brenda showed signs of embarrassment – Katie, on the other hand, found humour in the bold disclosure. Join our WhatsApp news community here for the latest breaking news

Just over a week after her 66th birthday bash on Wednesday, 22 May, Denise celebrated becoming a “pensioner” in true style. The TV star was spotted dancing on a cruise ship deck, rocking a red Baywatch-style swimsuit.

Denise, who is the proud mum of The 1975’s lead singer Matty Healy, was captured grooving under the sun in a holiday video, sporting chic white and gold-heeled wedges. Smiling broadly for the camera, she shared a heartfelt Instagram post to commemorate her special day.

On Instagram, Denise shared her excitement: “Today I celebrate becoming an ‘old age pensioner’ with a birthday boomerang! ! ! I’m 66! ! ! WTAF? ? ! ! ! But I’m grateful to have got this far! ! It’s taken a lot of ups and downs to get here but here I am and very happy.”

Reflecting on her life, Denise wrote: “A wonderful marriage to @lincolntownley, 3 amazing sons, Matty, Louis and Lewis. My sister and my nieces and nephews. The Townleys. A grandson Theo and I’ve been free from clinical depression for 5 yrs!” She also acknowledged the mixed emotions tied to the date, noting it as the anniversary of her mother’s death: “Of course May 22nd will always be bittersweet as it’s 12 years today since Mum died.”

Discussing her late mother’s influence, she said: “She would have been 88 this year and believe me, she would still be wearing swimwear and looking fabulous! ! I hope she’d be proud that I’m sober, still working hard in my chosen profession and still getting my t**s out for the lads! ! !” Signing off with a tribute to her mother, she stated: “And lasses to be fair as I have to keep my lesbian friends happy! ! ! Happy birthday to me and miss you loads mama! ! Love you.” You can keep up to date with the latest TV and showbiz news by signing up to the newsletter here.

Denise Welch shocks as she rips into TV star live on air as they come to blows over Meghan Markle

Dickie Arbiter locked horns with Denise Welch on the set of Loose Women this Monday, May 6, as the panellist took a stand against the harsh criticism targeting Meghan Markle.

Meghan Markle has come under fire more than once throughout her time on Prince Harry ‘s arm and Denise Welch has had enough of the relentless backlash.

The Loose Women panellist was seething this Monday, May 6, when Dickie Arbiter, former press secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth II and to King Charles III before he was crowned last year, was in the studio to speak about the monarch’s cancer battle.

But while the conversation began smoothly, it inevitably took a turn when Dickie addressed the elephant in the room – can the monarch ever repair his strained relationship with his son, Prince Harry?

Royal fans will recall the latter snubbed life as a senior working royal alongside his wife Meghan for a fresh start across the Atlantic and the Duchess of Sussex has been more criticised than ever before since.

Meghan also faced a wave of criticism when she was first rumoured to be dating Prince Harry in 2016 and the couple have publicly condemned the negative media scrutiny they have both received, personally, as a couple and as parents for their two children, Archie and Lilibet.

For Denise, Meghan and Harry’s decision to leave Windsor and Frogmore Cottage behind was nothing short of logical and tensions emerged at lightning speed as she vehemently defended them – calling Dickie out for his own criticism of Meghan Markle.

“If I may say, do you not think there is a reason why Harry did such a thing?”, the 65-year-old initially asked, referring to the Duke’s decision to leave the UK for the US.

Denise then summarised the heartbreak surrounding King Charles III’s family, wounds first stemming from the monarch’s marriage with Lady Diana “when he was in love with Camilla.”

“It ruined a lot of Diana’s life”, Denise claimed. She then recalled how a young Prince Harry witnessed his mother’s death after a fatal car chase with paparazzi before he was forced to walk publicly behind her coffin and accept Queen Camilla as his stepmother.

“Then he has a wife who is completely and continually trashed by the media, including your good self”, Denise added while turning to Dickie, while some audience members began to applaud her. “I am just sick to death of the bashing that this woman gets (…) we continually berate this woman every day.”

When Dickie argued that the Sussexes have received criticism over their choice to leave the Royal Family, Denise furiously doubled down: “Why would they not walk out? Why would they want to spend their life in a country that hated them?”

Coleen Nolan quickly intervened to stop the situation from escalating, reminding the panellist that she hadn’t expected a “debate” to take place in the studio. But Denise continued to seethe as she added: “don’t have a guest on (…) I can say what I like!”

The segment left many ITV viewers with their jaws dropped as they swarmed over to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts. “Well done Denise, you wiped the floor with Dickie. Thankyou for not being scared to be a voice for H@M”, one of them commented.

Another agreed: “Makes me laugh that people are saying Denise isn’t nice for standing up for Meghan and Harry, yet it’s fine for so many “nice” people to have s****** them off for the past 6+ yrs”, just as a third applauded the panellist for her strong stance: “Well said Denise, you are the voice of fairness and reason.”

However, one TV watcher predicted a reprimand was ahead for Denise due to Coleen’s intervention. “I think Denise is going to be getting a firm talking to when @loosewomen is off air! However if she is passionate about a subject why shut her down? I thought #LooseWomen promotes strong women and opinions?”
