Denise Welch has shared her 'horror' at a remark Prince Andrew made about Princess Diana shortly after her death. Speaking on Loose Women, the actress recalled meeting the Duke of York at an event and hearing him speak about his late sister-in-law with 'such disdain'.
Welch said the comment was made 'in front of a group of people… who he didn’t know from a bar of soap'. She added: 'I was horrified by it as it wasn’t really long after [she died]. I had no skin in the game, except for someone who loved Diana from afar, but I was just horrified by it and I never liked him.'
The discussion came after Prince Andrew was stripped of his military honours and will fight a US civil sex abuse lawsuit as a 'private citizen'. Welch also criticised Andrew's association with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, saying: 'I think once you went to see Jeffrey Epstein when Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted paedophile, that was game over.'
However, she acknowledged that 'in the eyes of the law, he is innocent until proven guilty'. Fellow panellist Kaye Adams said Andrew had 'brought trouble to the door', while Frankie Bridge agreed 'the damage has been done' to the Royal Family.
