Renowned interior designer Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen has made headlines by openly criticizing Meghan Markle, branding her as too dull for his taste.

The upcoming premiere of BBC Two’s Pilgrimage will showcase the designer in a new light, as he embarks on a spiritual journey with a diverse group of individuals holding varying religious beliefs.

Set to air tonight, Pilgrimage follows a group of famous personalities retracing the footsteps of St Columba, an Irish monk credited with bringing Christianity to Scotland in the 6th century.

Laurence, known for his flamboyant persona, shared his thoughts on the pilgrimage, describing it as a way to declutter one’s mind through physical exertion and introspection before engaging in spiritual conversations.

In a bold statement, Laurence expressed his doubts about collaborating with Meghan Markle, citing her perceived lack of excitement and conventional taste.

The controversial designer did not shy away from his previous comments, reiterating his stance on Meghan’s style during a 2019 interview with news outlet The Duchess’ Taste and later on Loose Women.

Despite his clash with Meghan, Laurence remains unapologetic, asserting his preference for more unconventional clients.

He hinted at a potential royal commission in the future, expressing his admiration for Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, who resides near his country home in the Cotswolds.

Reflecting on past encounters with royalty, Laurence recalled Prince Philip’s disapproval of his work at Buckingham Palace, highlighting a humorous exchange regarding the palace’s flooring.

As he embarks on a 15-day pilgrimage across the UK, Laurence will distance himself from royal affairs, focusing on his spiritual journey alongside diverse companions.

Joined by individuals from different faith backgrounds, including former England cricketer Monty Panniser and actress Louisa Cline, Laurence will traverse 1,600 kilometers on foot and by boat in search of enlightenment.

The group’s pilgrimage will take them through Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland, culminating in a visit to the revered monastery of St Columba on the island of Iona.

Tonight’s episode of Pilgrimage promises to offer viewers a unique insight into Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen’s personal and spiritual journey, showcasing a side of the designer rarely seen in the public eye.

Tune in to BBC Two at 9 pm to witness this captivating expedition unfold.
