The next segment on Loose Women sparked a heated discussion about the Royal Family. Things quickly spiraled into chaos when Denise Welch, one of the show's hosts, called out a guest for "disrespecting" her. The guest in question was Dickie Arbiter, a royal correspondent and former press spokesperson for the late Queen Elizabeth. He had been invited onto the show to discuss the one-year anniversary of King Charles' coronation, but things took a turn when he brought up the strained relationship between Prince Harry and his family.
According to Dickie, Harry had been "rubbishing" his family since they left their royal duties in 2020. This statement caught Denise's attention, and she jumped in to ask if he thought there was a reason behind Harry's actions, especially after his controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey and the release of his explosive autobiography. Denise also brought up the impact that the monarchy had on Princess Diana's life, and how she believed Meghan Markle was being continuously attacked by the media, including by Dickie himself.
As the studio audience started clapping in support of Denise, she raised her voice and expressed her frustration with the constant "bashing" that Meghan receives. She also pointed out the lack of criticism towards Prince Andrew, who has been embroiled in his own controversies. Denise passionately defended Meghan and Harry, stating that she believes Harry had a valid reason for writing his book. Dickie responded by saying he did not want to argue with Denise and that she had been reading too many tabloid stories.
Denise was not satisfied with this response and told Dickie not to "disrespect" her. She firmly stated that she had read many stories about Meghan and was appalled by the way she had been treated. The tension between the two continued to escalate, with Dickie calling Harry and Meghan's actions "disgraceful" and saying they didn't have to leave the royal family. Coleen Nolan, another host, tried to diffuse the situation, but Denise was adamant about speaking her mind and defending Meghan and Harry.
Eventually, the conversation calmed down, and the segment ended with Denise and Dickie kissing each other on the cheek. However, the viewers had mixed reactions to what had unfolded, with some praising Denise for speaking up and others criticizing her for not holding her tongue. Some viewers even questioned whether Denise would face any backlash for her comments.
It's worth noting that Denise has been a long-time supporter of Harry and Meghan, and she has previously declared her "allegiance" to the couple over the monarchy. Last year, during a discussion about the public being invited to pledge their allegiance to King Charles and Queen Camilla, Denise stated that she would prefer to pledge her allegiance to Harry and Meghan instead. While she has nothing against the Royal Family, she feels a stronger connection to the younger couple.
