During Wednesday's Celebrity Big Brother episode, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne didn't hold back as they took a verbal jab at Meghan Markle.
Mrs. Markle found herself in the crosshairs of the sharp-tongued judges, following previous criticisms by Louis towards Jedward, Ronan Keating, and Andrew Lloyd Webber. The duo, engaged in a casual chat with Fern Britton in the kitchen, delved into the topic of the royal family, with Sharon alleging that Meghan's demeanor is insincere and Louis joining in, expressing his doubts about her authenticity.
As the conversation unfolded, Fern dared to label Meghan as manipulative, finding support from Louis and Sharon, who both aired strong opinions on the matter. Louis, shifting the discourse to the royal family, expressed his curiosity about Princess Diana's well-being amidst recent reports of her surgery and public absence.
Fondly recalling his encounter with Kate Middleton at the Chelsea Flower Show, Louis humorously recounted asking if she named her son after him, to which Kate charmingly denied. The dialogue then turned towards Meghan, with Louis questioning her likability beyond Prince Harry, while Fern diplomatically characterized her as enigmatic yet potentially manipulative.
Sharon echoed the skepticism, asserting that Meghan's persona appears contrived, prompting Louis to brand her as a subpar actress. Expressing a desire for Harry's happiness and familial reconciliation, Fern emphasized the importance of Harry's return and reconciliation with William. Amidst the critique, Lady C raised discomfort over the palace's issuance of a notice for a photo taken by Prince William, highlighting a broader societal unease with the manipulation and commercialization of royal imagery.
The discussion touched on the media's resentment towards William and Kate's preference for personal photography over traditional press coverage, with Lady C citing concerns about the erosion of journalistic livelihoods and privacy boundaries. The edited photo of Catherine sparked conspiracy theories, exacerbating tensions between the media and the royal family over image control and access to personal spaces.
