In a candid revelation that has sent ripples through royal watchers, television personality Denise Welch has disclosed the exact moment she decided she could no longer listen to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The Loose Women star and acclaimed actress didn't hold back during a recent appearance on TalkTV, explaining that a specific interview was the final straw that led to her switching off from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's media projects entirely.
The Interview That Changed Everything
Welch pointed directly to the couple's much-publicised interview with Oprah Winfrey as the turning point. While she had previously been a supporter, she described elements of the tell-all conversation as a 'triggering' experience that she simply couldn't reconcile with her own perceptions.
'I listened for a long time, and then there was a certain interview that I found very difficult, and it triggered me in many ways,' Welch explained to host Piers Morgan. This moment marked a definitive end to her engagement with their public narrative.
A Shift in Public Sentiment
Welch's comments reflect a broader shift in public opinion, highlighting how even former supporters are becoming increasingly weary of the constant media cycle surrounding the Sussexes. Her honesty provides a snapshot of the divisive nature of the couple's departure from royal life and their subsequent commercial deals.
'I haven't listened to anything since,' she stated emphatically, making her current position on the matter abundantly clear.
Finding Common Ground with Piers Morgan
In a surprising twist, Welch found herself agreeing with outspoken critic Piers Morgan on the issue. Morgan, who famously walked off the set of Good Morning Britain following his comments about the Oprah interview, has been one of the couple's most vocal detractors.
The alignment of their views underscores the wide spectrum of reaction the Sussexes continue to provoke, uniting figures from across the ideological spectrum in their criticism.
Welch's frank discussion serves as a powerful indicator of the evolving conversation surrounding the modern monarchy and the celebrities it creates.
