GB News host Eamonn Holmes has taken aim at Meghan Markle in a fresh attack on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after the couple made their first appearance at this year’s Invictus Games in Canada.
Attending the opening ceremony in Vancouver on Friday, Meghan and Harry were seen kissing and holding onto each other during the first event of the games.
Reacting to the appearance on GB News, Breakfast host Eamonn Holmes scolded the “nonsense” displays of affection shared by the couple, accusing the Duchess of an “acted out” performance.
Eamonn told the panel: “All this nonsense is front of the papers today. If you just see these these pictures here, all this is so acted out.

“Holding his hand, hugging him, acting devoted to him. Oh, gosh.”
When questioned by co-host Ellie Costello on whether he believes her actions were “fake”, Eamonn declared: “It’s totally fake.”
Delivering her verdict on the appearance, commentator Dawn Neesom suggested that Meghan Markle’s actions were “in response to Donald Trump”, who claimed that Prince Harry has “problems with his wife”.
Neesom told GB News: “Harry and Meghan were both there, and yes, I have to agree with you, she was putting on a very public display of affection, like they were on some kind of first date.

“You do think that maybe this was a reaction to Trump’s comments and Harry’s speech also to the disabled athletes, which is an amazing thing that he does.”
Offering some praise of the Duke, Eamonn said he “likes” Prince Harry and suggested that Britons could be “reconditioned” to accepting him back into the Royal Family.
But he added that the country would not accept Meghan in the same way.
Eamonn stated: “I like the lad, I think the country would recondition themselves back towards him. I think he’d be welcomed back eventually. But her? No, no, no.”

Citing Prince Harry’s speech at the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games, Neesom claimed the Duke’s words could be perceived as a “veiled dig” towards Donald Trump, amid their latest conflict of words.
Neesom concluded: “In his speech, he told the veterans to have ‘courage, values and humanity at a time where there is no shortage of crisis, no absence or uncertainty, no lack of weak moral character in the world’.
“And I think that was a very, very thinly veiled dig at Trump after what he said about Meghan.”
