NADIA Sawalha shocked viewers as she announced that she wasn't convinced by Meghan's new role as a royal, calling it 'the performance of a lifetime'.

The Loose Women panellist, 53, commented on the Duchess of Sussex during a segment of the show where the women discussed the family photo taken for Prince Charles' 70th birthday.

About the pic of Meghan posing alongside her husband Prince Harry, Prince Charles, his wife Camilla, Prince William, his wife Kate Middleton and their children George and Charlotte, Saira Khan commented: "Meghan looks very relaxed, doesn't she?"

But according to the panel, Nadia is a 'Meghan watcher' and has been closely watching Meghan since she joined the royal family and married Prince Harry in May.

She said: "I am intrigued by her. I am on the edge. I am watching."

When questioned what she was watching, she replied: "I am watching her."

She added: "I think there is a chance that it could be the performance of a lifetime. The greatest role of her life."

Saira then quipped at the public not being on board with her opinion that the Duchess is acting, but Nadia continued to argue that she wasn't convinced by her marriage to Prince Harry.

"Everything just seems a bit too effected," she said.

Before adding: "How often am I wrong on these things, girls?"

However, fans of the show were shocked by the comments about Meghan, who announced her pregnancy last month, and took to Twitter to vent.

One said: "What a horrible thing for Nadia to say about Meghan."

A second added: "Well guess there goes any royal invite for Nadia. Cause this opinion fits the quote on her twitter page. Meghan won’t lose sleep over this. She’s happy. Shame Nadia and the naysayers aren’t."

Meanwhile, some were totally in agreement with the presenter's comment about it being the role of a lifetime for the former actress, with one fan commenting: "I agree with Nadia as think she’s either totally fake or absolutely fab; time will tell!"

Another added: "I agree with Nadia!! I’ve always said there is something that doesn’t sit right about a Harry and Meghan!"

It isn't the first time the Loose Women has caused controversy recently either, after producers were forced to step in to stop a row between her and Carol McGiffin last week.

The TV presenters went to war after Nadia defended her decision to wax her 11-year-old daughter Kiki's upper lip.
