Sitting down with LBC presenter Nick Ferrari and radio personality Vanessa Feltz, Phil and Holly discussed the delayed news on the birth and the lack of information surrounding labour, resulting in an apparent uproar amongst the media.
Speaking on the negative response some members of the media have reportedly had to the announcement of the birth, Nick said: ‘There was an arrangement they would announce labour then they would open the long walk and all the TV crews could all get there and then they’d be in position.
‘It’s all gone badly wrong and of course we’re left celebrating, it’s fanatic news, but the media are thinking, as you said, probably not true, well was it for the US?
‘Perhaps it’s not, but it’s just a really unfortunate slight savoury turn to something so joyous. That’s my concern.’
Nick continued to explain that some fellow journalists and members of the media have ‘turned against’ the new mother, adding: ‘Some of our fraternity have actually been turning against Meghan a little bit, which I think is wrong, and this will add fuel to it and that’s what concerns me.’
Holly was quick to chime in to question the backlash surrounding Meghan in a bid to defend her adding: ‘Why are people blaming her? They’re a couple, so presumably, they’re making these decisions together.
‘Why is it suddenly people are turning against her?’
