And now Denise has had her say.

She said: “Prince Harry constantly gets blamed for bringing heartache and burden to the Queen in her final years.
“Let’s just remember that the Queen is funding this pay off from Andrew her favourite son.”

One said: “It sickens me that Harry and Meghan, who are just 2 people getting on with their life, get worse press then him. How is that?”
Another commented: “My dear, it’s called double standards, as in we don’t always believe what we read in the papers… except if it’s about H&M of course!”
However, another pointed out: “You can’t say that … you don’t know …. If you know then please share where you’ve got this info from …. otherwise it’s just gossiping tittle tattle.”
“Where’s the accounts saying it’s her funding it?” asked another.

Others commented that Harry “adds” to the Queen’s distress.
They said: “Harry just adds to it big time. Why does he want to expose his own family when he has been given everything and every opportunity for the best of everything?”
However, another perhaps summed it up best.
“Both of them are bringing heartache to the Queen. It’s not an either or situation,” the concluded.
