She penned: "Ok after viewing the first three episodes of @netflix “HARRY & MEGHAN” documentary….I 100% cannot see in anyway why they should be condemned….AT ALL!!! It’s just a insight into their lives. It’s actually a lot different to what I believed it could be….but I am REALLY interested to what you all think after watching the first three? Who knows what’s to come, I’m only speaking about these!!!"

It comes only two months after Lisa hit out at Meghan Markle in a since deleted social media rant. The 46-year-old soap star took to Instagram on Thursday, October 20 to share a side-by-side snap of both Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton as she compared the two, sharing her brutal opinion on the Duchess of Sussex.

The candid picture of Kate Middleton shows her smiling as she walks alongside Prince William and their three children. The youngsters are dressed in their school uniforms as the family make their way to school. The contrasting image of Meghan Markle shows her lied on her front on a grey backdrop in a seemingly professional shot.

The Duchess wears a long pink and white floral dress and smiles at the camera whilst lifting one foot. Actress Lisa captioned the post: "LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS...FIRSTLY...In no way shape or form do I dislike Meghan Markle, I actually truly truly want Harry to be SINCERELY happy!!!

"My bestie just sent me this saying the following 'when in the public eye, especially being royal, YOU have full control of what photo's get published', I leave the rest with you.

She continued: "Nobody wants to loathe her, nobody wants to diss her, nobody wants to grind her down but it's because of what she 'puts out' that's where she doesn't do herself any favours."

The controversial post which Lisa shared with her 187K followers has since been removed and it seems Lisa's opinion on Meghan Markle has certainly changed after watching the documentary.

Actor Lisa Riley has played the role of Mandy Dingle of and off for over two decades and has become renowned for her fiery on screen character.
