Dame Joan Collins has blasted Meghan Markle and Prince Harry with a comment on Good Morning Britain.
The actress appeared on the daytime programme to discuss her new musical film, Tomorrow Morning, and was asked by host Susanna Reid if she had any comments about ‘other duchesses’.
In response, Collins sarcastically said: “Who could that be? I have no idea.

“Do we need to give any of them more oxygen?”
Elsewhere in the interview, Collins discussed Markle being called a ‘diva’ by Mariah Carey on the Duchess of Sussex’s podcast.
Reid said: “She’s over at the moment. She took exception to being called a diva by Mariah Carey.”
Collins replied: “Oh really? I think it’s rather nice to be called a diva, now and again. I mean, it’s supposed to be a compliment.”
It all started when Markle invited Carey onto her Archetypes podcast and they discussed their experiences as mixed-race women living in America.

When the Duchess asked the singer how she defined the word ‘diva’, the star commented: “You give us diva moments sometimes Meghan. Don’t even act like.”
Shocked, Prince Harry’s wife responded: “What kind of diva moments do I give you?”
Carey then claimed that Markle doesn’t act like herself in certain situations.
Later on, the Duchess reflected on the conversation and admitted that it had left her ‘sweating’.
The 41-year-old explained: “Though my fangirling was tempered today, I think she could tell, it was all going swimmingly.
“I mean really well, until that moment happened, which I don’t know about you but it stopped me in my tracks. When she called me a diva.
“You couldn’t see me obviously, but I started to sweat a little bit. I started squirming in my chair in this quiet revolt like ‘Wait? What?’.
“No what? How could you? That’s not true. Why would you say that?
“My mind genuinely was just spinning with what nonsense she must have read or clicked on to make her say that. I just kept thinking in that moment, was my girl crush coming to a quick demise? Does she actually not see me?”

Markle continued: “So she must have felt my nervous laughter and she jumped right in to make sure I was crystal clear when she said diva, she was talking about the way that I dress, the posture, the clothing.
“She meant ‘diva’ as a compliment but I heard it as a dig.
“I heard it as the word ‘diva’, as I think of it, but in that moment as she explained to me, she meant it as ‘chic’, as ‘aspirational’ and how one very charged word can mean something different for each of us.”
