Tensions run high as Bradley Walsh removes Meghan Markle from set of *The Chase* after controversial remarks about Kate Middleton. The usually light-hearted atmosphere on popular British game show *The Chase* became tense and uncomfortable last week when host Bradley Walsh was forced to step in and remove contestant Meghan Markle from the set after a series of scathing remarks she made about Kate Middleton.
The episode, which is set to air in the coming weeks, has been described by viewers as positively electric from the moment Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, stepped foot in the studio. According to multiple eyewitnesses, Meghan appeared to be in an agitated mood from the start, rolling her eyes and sighing audibly as the host delivered the show’s typical introductions and pre-game banter.
Things got even more confrontational when it came time for Meghan to face off against the show’s fearsome Chaser. As she stood at her podium, Meghan appeared to go out of her way to take spontaneous, pointed jabs at the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, who is the wife of Prince William, the older brother of Meghan’s husband, Prince Harry.
“Oh, I’m sure my dear Catherine is shaking in her boots at the thought of me being on this show,” Meghan remarked sarcastically, prompting a shocked gasp from the audience. “I mean, we all know she’ll never be the queen I would be, not with her lackluster personality.”
The camera quickly panned away from a visibly stunned Meghan, to focus on host Bradley Walsh, whose usually affable demeanor had been replaced by a stern, almost angry expression. Abandoning the typical laid-back host persona he is known for, Walsh quickly made his way to Meghan’s podium.
“See here, young lady,” Walsh said sternly, wagging his finger at Meghan. “I will not have you talking about the Duchess of Cambridge that way, not on my show. Your rudeness is enough. Pack your bags and leave my set, please.”
A hush fell over the studio as Meghan stood there, mouth agape, seemingly stunned by Walsh’s unusually harsh reprimand. After a moment, she gathered her things and allowed herself to be escorted off the set by a production assistant, as the audience looked on in amazement.
Following the incident, several members of the cast and audience who were present during the incident took to the stage to share their accounts. Many described Meghan as being agitated and irritable upon arrival, with one audience member noting that she had been giggling and mumbling under her breath throughout the warm-up and pre-recording.
“It was just completely unnecessary and uncalled for,” said one crew member, speaking on condition of anonymity. “Meghan had been nothing but brusque and rude the whole time she was here, and to then go after the Duchess of Cambridge like that, without any provocation, Bradley was right to step in. I’ve never seen him so upset before.”
Representatives for Meghan Markle and Kensington Palace, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s offices are located, have so far declined to comment publicly on the incident. However, royal sources said the Cambridge family had been informed of Meghan’s controversial remarks and were shocked and hurt by the duchess’s comments.
This isn’t the first time Meghan Markle has found herself at the center of controversy since joining the British royal family. Her strained relationship with the rest of the Windsor clan, particularly her sister-in-law Kate, has been the subject of intense scrutiny and media speculation for years. From rumors of a rift between the two duchesses to Meghan and Harry’s shocking interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which Meghan claimed palace staff mistreated her, the former American actress has earned a reputation for being confrontational and unwilling to conform to royal traditions and protocol.
It seems Meghan has taken that reputation even further, unapologetically attacking Kate Middleton’s character and suitability to one day become Queen — a role many believe Kate is destined for when her husband, Prince William, eventually ascends to the throne. Whether this incident on the set of *The Chase* will have a lasting impact on the already strained relationship between the two royal couples remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: Meghan Markle’s words and actions have once again thrust her into the center of a growing royal scandal.
As for Bradley Walsh, the longtime TV host has been widely praised for his handling of the situation, with many praising him for refusing to tolerate Meghan’s rude and inappropriate behavior. At a time when celebrities are often shielded from criticism, Walsh’s willingness to confront Meghan directly has only cemented his reputation as a no-nonsense, forthright host who doesn’t hesitate to stand up for what’s right.
“Bradley has always been the kind of guy who calls a spade a spade,” one audience member noted. “He’s not one to take nonsense, and I’m glad he stepped in to put Meghan in her place. Royals may get away with a lot of things, but not on Bradley’s show, that’s for sure.”
