Graham Norton previously confessed people 'don't care' about the couple

Amanda Holden gave her blunt opinion on the public perception surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The Britain's Got Talent judge weighed in after Graham Norton claimed people just want the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to "live their lives" in Montecito, California.


During a previous appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Norton questioned whether the average Briton is bothered about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

He pointed out that Harry and Meghan had "defied" Prince William and Princess Kate.

Norton expressed his doubts about public interest, saying: "Do regular people care that much? I don't think they do.

"I think they just think let them live their lives."

On Heart Breakfast, Holden brought up Graham's comments and agreed with him, stating: "I think you're right. I think the press makes so much of it but none of us really care."

Her co-host Jamie Theakston chimed in: "I think we don't care that much."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from royal duties in 2020, moving their family from Frogmore Cottage in Windsor to the US.

Since their departure, the couple has been embroiled in controversy through various personal endeavours, including Harry's bombshell memoir Spare and their revealing Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan.

Meghan has also ventured into business with her new brand, American Riviera Orchard.

She has already teased raspberry and strawberry jam, as well as dog biscuits.

The duchess sent pots of jam and pet treats to several of her influencer friends, who flogged the products on social media.

But the latest product that Meghan is expected to launch is her own brand of rose wine.

The mother-of-two is set to join celebrities like Kylie Minogue, Brad Pitt, and Sarah Jessica Parker who have launched their own alcoholic beverages.
