Sussexes’ Bold Move: Why Did They Walk Out?
In a fiery debate on ITV’s Loose Women, tensions ran high as panelist Denise passionately defended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step back from the Royal Family. When Dickie questioned their choice, Denise fired back, asking, “Why would they not walk out? Why would they want to spend their life in a country that hated them?” Coleen Nolan intervened to prevent further escalation, reminding everyone that it wasn’t meant to be a debate. However, Denise stood her ground, asserting her right to speak her mind.
The explosive discussion left viewers in awe, with many taking to social media to voice their support for Denise. One commenter praised her for “wiping the floor” with Dickie, while another pointed out the hypocrisy of those criticizing Denise for standing up for Meghan and Harry after years of negative treatment. A third applauded Denise as the voice of fairness and reason.
Denise didn’t shy away from the backlash, responding to some comments online with humor. When one fan questioned her sobriety during the debate, she cheekily replied, “12 yrs Dougie!! Keep up.” Another commenter mistakenly referred to Jillian Clarey instead of Julian, prompting Denise to playfully respond with laughing-face emojis.
