TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE...

-

WHILE Harry and Meghan had superstars like Serena Williams and Beyonce lining up to broadcast their support last week, the rest of the Royal Family had a smattering of British socialites proclaimin­g their loyalty to The Crown. The only problem? Most of them were somewhat hypocritic­al.

1 Take Lady Victoria Hervey for example. The It Girl was quick to chastise Meghan saying: ‘It definitely feels like Harry has been kidnapped and mind-controlled.’ Funny that, as only last month it was revealed that the bonkers socialite believes the Covid vaccine is a ‘plot by Bill Gates to depopulate the world’. She added that the couple had given an ‘Oscar-worthy performanc­e’ and said that Meghan wasn’t ready for the Royal Family as ‘their courtship was way too short’. Does a brief fling with Prince Andrew really qualify her to decide that?

2 Then there was David Cameron’s show-off brother-in-law, Robert Sheffield. He welcomed a daughter last year but it’s unlikely she’ll be a playmate for Harry and Meghan’s little girl after he said that the couple were ‘self-absorbed narcissist­s’. I hate to say it, but it takes one to know one, Rob!

3 And the Duke of Beaufort, also known as Bunter Worcester, tweeted: ‘I don’t know why Meghan bothers with the “ghan” on the end of her name. The only thing she cares about is Me, Me, Me, Me.’ That’s rich coming from the man who tried and failed to bag a part in the new BBC series The Pursuit Of Love... not because he can act (he can’t), but because it was filmed at his home!
