Denise Welch has never been afraid to speak her mind. Whether on social media or live television, the longtime “Loose Women” panelist calls out media hypocrisy, defends the underdog, and questions power. Her unwavering support for Prince Harry and Meghan Sussex stands out in a British celebrity culture that often plays it safe. Welch does not. Her reasons for backing the couple go beyond trend or sympathy. They are rooted in principle, lived experience, and a sharp eye for injustice.
She Knows The Cost Of Mental Health Struggles
Denise Welch has been open about her own battles with depression. When Meghan revealed suicidal thoughts in her Oprah interview, Welch did not dismiss or deflect. She related. As someone who has faced public scrutiny while navigating private pain, she understood the stakes. That empathy drove her to push back on narratives that mocked or minimized Meghan’s emotional truth. Welch knows how headlines can cut deeper than any royal protocol. She has lived it.

She Sees Through Media Smokescreens
Welch’s posts show her deep frustration with the British press. She has called out the Daily Mail, GB News, and royal commentators who seem to build careers on berating Meghan. Her criticism is not random. It reflects a pattern: defend the status quo, punish the disruptors. Welch understands how the press shapes public perception. She draws clear lines between criticism and bullying. In May 2024, she condemned Angela Levin for persistently targeting Prince Harry and Meghan Sussex, accusing broadcasters of enabling abuse by giving her a platform. Levin has faced significant backlash for comments widely criticized as racist toward Meghan, further fueling calls for media accountability.
This woman @angelalevin1 is a bully. Her sole job is to berate Harry and Meghan. Any channel that employs her is allowing and encouraging bullying. pic.twitter.com/GCU4RXIR1S

Welch does not fall in line with soft coverage of the monarchy. She has questioned why Prince Andrew receives protection while Harry is cast out. She called out Piers Morgan for spending years attacking Meghan while giving platforms to men like Andrew Tate. She slammed the media’s push to get Harry back into royal duties, asking bluntly: why would he return to a system that caused so much harm? When a headline accused her of a Kate Middleton “rant,” she clapped back, pointing out the hypocrisy in how her support for Meghan was framed as disrespect.
She Refuses To Be Silenced Or Shamed
Denise Welch speaks with conviction. When bots swarmed her X after she clashed with royal insiders on television, she didn’t retreat. Instead, she doubled down, asking why it’s controversial to support Harry and Meghan. Her message is clear: she will not bend to peer pressure or curated narratives. In March 2024, she reminded her followers that many support the Sussexes with “fervour” for a reason. That reason is fairness. That reason is truth.
Denise Welch defends Harry and Meghan not because it’s popular but because it’s right. She has faced media cruelty and knows what it does to a person. She sees the patterns of bias and calls them out by name. She speaks not from a palace script but from her own hard-won clarity. In doing so, Welch stands as a rare voice in British media, a woman unafraid to challenge the establishment in defense of those it tries to crush.

Thank you Denise Welch.
Intelligent readers will feel sorry for Angela Levin. She is a bitter and sad woman. When people like her perceive the success they crave apparent in others, they may try to belittle those people to make themselves feel better.
How can anyone harbour so much hate? Angela Levin suffered under her own mother. She complained that “She endlessly tried to demean me and put me down, telling me I wouldn’t ever amount to anything”. Now she is relentlessly doing the same with vicious distorted claptrap about fiercely intellectual humanitarian Meghan Markle about whom she once wrote: “she is a strong, dynamic women with a lot of views on women’s rights and so on but she is also motherly.” Perhaps, like fellow anti-Meghan journalist, Piers Morgan, she now seeks palace recognition through a title or privilege? Morgan once wrote of Meghan “ “Meghan’s got beauty, brains, charm and a great sense of humour. She’s also an ambitious, hard-working and talented actress with an impressive passion for things she believes in” and “Meghan Markle is perfect princess material,” he concluded.
It seems that a furious organised royal troll farm has taken over and also ‘persuaded journalists such as these turncoats to change camps.
American Social media expert, Christopher Bouzy, whose company, BotSentinel, has investigated the online trolling of Meghan, spoke about her “suicidal thoughts at the height of the abuse”. He told Newsweek “One doesn’t have to stretch to see a link between that despair and the ceaseless torrent of vilification she endured. They corrode our collective grasp on reality and decency.” and James, Murdoch, Rupert’s son was unconditional in his criticism of News Corp. policies in saying to The Atlantic, “There’s this tabloid culture that’s contrarian for the sake of it and delights in poking people in the eye. At its’ worst it metastazizes into something nasty and scary and manipulative. I underestimated the ability of a profit motive to make people do terrible things, to make companies do terrible things. Standing up to nazis is essential; there are no good nazis” he said.
Thank you for this exceptional article. Denise Welch is a woman of great principles. I appreciate how she defends Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. Denise refuses to sell her soul to the Royal regime & join the legion of hate against this couple, particularly Meghan. Denise refuses to be their foot soldier.
