Stacey Solomon’s views on the Royal family and ‘the Firm’ have gone viral following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Loose Women host shared her views on the family when her co-stars were discussing their love for the Royals. The 32-year-old admitted she didn’t understand “why we’re so obsessed with these humans.”
The episode aired in 2018 and showed the panelists talking about an appearance from Kate Middleton, the now Princess of Wales and Meghan Markle.
The TV personality could not understand her co-panelists Christine Lampard, Linda Robson and Jane Moore’s views.
The star said:
“I don’t get why we’re so obsessed with these humans that are exactly the same. It could be us four sitting there, I just don’t get it.”
When Moore claimed that the Royal family now were becoming more and more like celebrities rather than these mythical, regal figures people may have seen them as in the past – Solomon admitted that to her personally, that is all they are.
She continued:
“It’s freezing cold outside and people are homeless and these people have houses to spare and it does sometimes become a little bit frustrating because I don’t see the purpose of all that money going to this entire family.”

Following Queen Elizabeth II passing on Thursday last week, the clip has resurfaced online with people agreeing with the star:
“I won’t allow a bad word to be said about Stacey Solomon,”
“She articulated a valid, widely held viewpoint. It’s not malicious and more importantly, these comments were unearthed from 2018. They weren’t made in the aftermath of the Queen’s death.”
“There IS no point to the royal family because their role can be performed by any elected head of state instead. Which would be far more democratic, and far cheaper. So Stacey Solomon is absolutely correct.”
“I will never let anyone say a bad thing about Stacey Solomon, she said what everyone was thinking.”
Prince Charles ascended to King Charles III the moment the Queen passed last Thursday.
