There were heated scenes on ITV's Loose Women on Thursday morning (January 5) as a debate erupted about Prince Harry. It came after a leaked excerpt from his memoir, Spare, in which he sensationally claimed that his brother, Prince William, physically attacked him after the brothers clashed over Meghan Markle.
The Loose Women panel discussed the bombshell accusation that William lunged at Harry. It is claimed William ripped off Harry's necklace and knocked him to the floor where he smashed a dog's bowl that he landed on. Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have both said they will not comment.
The panel, hosted by Charlene White, saw Denise Welch double down on her support for Harry and his wife Meghan amid criticism from fellow presenter Jane Moore. She described it as 'hurtful' to read such accusations had been made in 'public', reports the Mirror.

Denise responded: "Why shouldn't Harry say his piece, Jane?" Jane then cut in to claim Harry was only making the allegations public in order 'to make money'.
The conversation upped in volume as Denise came back from across the panel, saying: "Jane, you talked to me about interrupting." She added: "The fact is the Royal Family make quite a bit of money themselves.
"They have been leaking stories. We know they have. As soon as Meghan was seen as the People's Princess, that was game over, because William and Kate have to remain in those positions.
"Meghan was in those rooms on the global stage with charities – she didn't do that just when she got married to Harry. I think do what you like. Tell your story because I think it's absolutely the worst thing that's happened to them."
The Loose Women studio then erupted in applause and whoops as Denise picked up a piece of paper to fan herself with. Once the audience had died down, Jane replied: "Tell your story but not sell your story. Is it blind support or do you accept that they've made some mistakes?"
Denise accepted that everybody makes mistakes but added: "But I don't see anything wrong in him getting his wife out of this country. When they said they wanted privacy, they wanted privacy from other people's narrative, not from their own story.
"This is the only way they've got to tell it. I'm team Harry and Meghan."
