Jeremy Kyle has offered his thoughts on the latest royal row - accusing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of having ulterior motives regarding their childrens' titles.
The TalkTV presenter sensationally claimed "it's all about the cash" when it comes to the couple's family decisions and slammed the pair for "using every damn thing" they can to boost their bank balance.
Discussing the recent news the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's daughter was christened Princess Lilibet Diana earlier this month, Jeremy discussed the latest piece of royal gossip with three guests on his TalkTV show this evening.
As one commentator explained how Princess Lilibet and her brother Prince Archie could have possibly had their titles confirmed a long time ago, Jeremy mused if Harry and Meghan's recent statement was deliberately timed to cause drama before the King's coronation.
