The Royal Variety Performance 2023 was meant to be a night filled with celebration and entertainment, but it quickly turned into a source of controversy and embarrassment for the Royal Family, all thanks to host Bradley Walsh.<\/p>\n
The comedian and TV presenter made a series of jokes and remarks that were deemed disrespectful, insensitive, and even racist by numerous viewers and critics.<\/p>\n
The most shocking moment came when Walsh directly addressed Prince William, who attended the event alongside his wife Kate Middleton and the Swedish Royals, Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel.<\/p>\n
In a bold statement, Walsh said to the future king, “I’ll kill myself before I ever work for your brother Harry, but I’ll work for you.<\/p>\n
I have worked for your great nan, your nan, your grandad, your dad, and now I’m working for you, sir.”<\/p>\n
This joke was an obvious reference to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step back from their royal duties and relocate to the United States, where they have pursued various unsuccessful media and business ventures.<\/p>\n
The couple has also been embroiled in several controversies, including their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they accused the Royal Family of racism and neglect, as well as their silence over the book Endgame, which revealed further damaging details about their rift with the Royals.<\/p>\n
Walsh’s joke received mixed reactions from the audience and the online community.<\/p>\n
While some people laughed and applauded, others gasped and booed.<\/p>\n
Prince William and Kate Middleton appeared to smile politely, but the discomfort was palpable.<\/p>\n
Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel looked shocked and bewildered.<\/p>\n
Numerous viewers and commentators expressed their outrage and disappointment over Walsh’s joke, labeling it as rude, tasteless, and inappropriate.<\/p>\n
Taking to Twitter, one user wrote, “Bradley Walsh should be ashamed of himself for making such a horrible joke about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.<\/p>\n
He disrespected the Royal Family and the millions of people who support them.<\/p>\n
He should apologize immediately and never host the Royal Variety Performance again.”<\/p>\n
Another user commented, “I can’t believe Bradley Walsh said that to Prince William.<\/p>\n
He was so disrespectful and insensitive.<\/p>\n
He clearly doesn’t care about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s mental health and the struggles they have faced.<\/p>\n
He should be fired and banned from TV.”<\/p>\n
However, there were also those who defended Walsh and praised him for his joke, arguing that he was simply being funny and honest.<\/p>\n
They believed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle deserved to be mocked and criticized for their actions and choices, asserting that the Royal Family should not be exempt from jokes and satire.<\/p>\n
One Twitter user expressed, “Bradley Walsh is a legend.<\/p>\n
He said what everyone was thinking.<\/p>\n
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are a joke and a disgrace to the Royal Family.<\/p>\n
They have betrayed their country and their family.<\/p>\n
They deserve to be ridiculed and exposed.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
