Breaking News: Royal Family In Tears And Mourn As Meghan Markle Face Big Blow After Prince Harry Announced….Read More

Bower, who has previously been heavily critical of Meghan, made the unsubstantiated claim while being interviewed on GB News on the same day the Queen was buried.

The monarch was laid to rest alongside her husband the Duke of Edinburgh, who died in April 2021, during a private evening service in Windsor on Monday. GB presenter Dan Wootton asked Bower: “Meghan – someone who, obviously, you have spent the last couple of years reporting on – she was very emotional today at the service. Was she close to the Queen?”

Bower replied: “Well, was she emotional back then? I mean, when she allegedly touched a tear, or was it the act of a Hollywood actress thinking it’d be a good gesture to suggest a tear?

“I think the only person that Meghan, I think at the moment, is crying for, is for herself – certainly not for the Queen.” Baroness Hussein-Ece, a Liberal Democrat member of the House of Lords, criticised both Wootton and Bower, tweeting: “Princess Diana was maligned and hounded until her death, mirroring exactly what’s happening now to Meghan Markle. This vile abuse has to stop.”

Former chief prosecutor Nazir Afzal added: “On this day… of all days… Dan Wooton and Tom Bowers could have had a ‘moment of quiet reflection’ instead of continuing to bully #HarryandMeghan.”

Broadcaster India Willoughby wrote: “Revolting. Night of the funeral. If Dan Wootton and GB News don’t like you, you’re probably a nice person.”
