Stacey Solomon has been praised for her past comments on the monarchy, which have resurfaced during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. In a 2018 episode of Loose Women, Solomon expressed confusion over the public's obsession with the royals, stating: 'I just don’t get it. I don’t get why we’re so obsessed with these humans that are exactly the same – it could be us four sitting there.'
During the discussion, fellow panellist Jane Moore defended the Queen, citing her sense of duty and responsibility. Solomon responded: 'But I would work really hard if the whole country paid for me to have like 12 houses, to work really hard.'
Social media users have since praised Solomon for her remarks. Author Adam Kay tweeted: 'I do love Stacey Solomon. Gorbless her majesty and let her have her big day, but I really don’t understand “She works really hard” as an argument. She doesn’t work harder than, say, a staff nurse… but earns 200 times more.' Comedian Fern Brady added: 'F**king hell. Britain. Thank god for Stacey Solomon.'
Solomon has not recently addressed the comments or the Platinum Jubilee. The celebrations continue over the weekend, with a concert featuring Queen and Diana Ross scheduled for Saturday.
