“Don’t touch Harry and Meghan, because I’m here” – Denise Welch, star of the show Loose Women, leaves everyone stunned with her latest statement – Publicly reveals 3 Reasons why she became ‘the Only Person in the UK who Dares to publicly support Harry and Meghan’?
Denise Welch shared her true feelings about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry during a candid conversation on the US chat show, Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen this week. The 67-year-old, who is the mother of The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, talked about her son on the programme and his former relationship with Taylor Swift, but people really wanted to know her thoughts on the Sussexes.
During her conversation with veteran interviewer Andy, a fan of the show named Jasmine wanted to know the current opinion that members of the UK general public had about Harry and Meghan. Denise quickly looked at the studio audience before going into a lengthy monologue about the pair, who share children Archie and Lilibet.
The Loose Women regular explained: “Well, I have a very different view from a lot of people, and I express this on the show I do at home called Loose Women.

“I am like the only person who flies the Harry and Meghan flag, even though I don’t know them. I’ve met a few of the royals over the years, but I have never met them.
“But I just think the amount of bullying by the press, British and American, that that woman gets… Remember, she was in those rooms, a lot of them, as a young black American woman; she had a big voice in UNICEF and the United Nations.
“She was in a lot of those rooms before Harry and I just try to fly the flag a bit. You have to remember, this is a boy who was forced at 12 years old to walk behind his mother’s coffin. His dad had been unfa1thful, and he grew up in that world.

“And I think, for him to want to say his piece is something quite admirable. I think they are in love. He’s never been unfa1thful to her… The ab::se she got for saying she is m3ntally 1ll… I suffered severe postnatal d3pr3ssion and was hospitalised when I had Matthew.
“So I really empathise with someone who is open about that. And she got ridiculed and hated. And what has she really done? And every single day she is battered.”
The audience applauded and cheered after Denise finished making her point about the Duchess of Sussex as host Andy remarked: “Good answer.”
