Dame Deborah James has responded to criticism of a remark she made with reference to Meghan Markle ahead of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend celebrations.
The 40-year-old, who is receiving end of life care at her parent’s house after battling bowel cancer since 2016, had said that she was "determined" to not pass away over the weekend and therefore "stealing thunder" from Meghan Markle.
Deborah was hit with criticism on social media from a number of people who thought it was an "uncalled for" jibe at the expense of the Duchess of Sussex.
