Prince Andrew was recently dubbed as disrespectful towards Princess Diana.

ITV’s “Loose Women” panelist Denise Welch said that she witnessed how rude the Duke of York was when they first met over two decades ago. At that time, Welch and Prince Andrew attended a royal gala for the charity The Western Spirit.

“Myself and this cricketer, who I won’t name, had made a decision not to mention Princess Diana because she had only recently died. I have never met Diana but loved her so much and was mortified when she died, like a lot of people… Anyway, Prince Andrew was very keen to talk about her and he brought it up,” Welch said.

Fellow panelist Nadia Sawalha asked Welch what exactly did Prince Andrew say about Princess Diana.

“Back in the day, I liked a vodka or two, and all I can say is he got up to leave, walked around to the top of the table, put his hand on my then-husband’s shoulder and said, ‘Rather you than me, sir,’” she answered.

Meanwhile, the “Loose Women” panelists also talked about another member of the royal family during this week’s episode. Sawalha expressed her support for Meghan Markle and the Duchess of Sussex’s decision to cut off her toxic family members.

Sawalha said that it’s quite heartbreaking to think about all of the grandparents who love their grandkids. But because couples split up, they never have the chance to see their grandchildren again.

However, the panelist also said that there are some cases wherein there shouldn’t be any remorse or regret if grandparents are unable to see their grandkids for the simple reason that they could be toxic to them. Sawalha said that it’s understandable why Markle might not want her son, Archie, to be around her father.

Thomas Markle Sr., previously sold out different stories about Markle to the press so that he could make money out of the Duchess.
