Sharon Osbourne believes Meghan and Harry 'won't be back for a long time' after Jubilee

Sharon Osbourne proved to be her typically outspoken self as she discussed Harry and Meghan on Talk TV's Piers Morgan Uncensored on Monday night.

The Platinum Jubilee marked one of the couple's first high-profile appearances in the UK since announcing their intention to step back from royal duties in an Instagram post in January 2020, shortly before moving to California.

Speaking about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex amid their appearance at the weekend, 69-year old Sharon ranted: "They are of no importance. They lost their importance, they don't mean anything, the country wasn't that overjoyed."

She went on: "I didn't hear many people go, 'This is amazing'. I must say the country didn't react one way or the other.

"But the way they kind of came in and went, was a huge signal that I don't think we'll see them here much again."

Earlier Sharon had been somewhat slightly more complimentary, however, admitting that the pair were not booed as loudly as Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Speaking about the image of The Queen pictured on the Buckingham Palace balcony with Prince Charles, Camilla, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their three children, she concluded: "It gave people confidence, that this is the family who will be here after The Queen is no longer here."

Last week, meanwhile, Mrs O thanked rapper Jamal Rajad for helping save her daughter Aimee's life following a Hollywood studio fire that killed one person and injured two others.

The former X Factor judge took to Instagram to share her gratitude for the part Rajad played in rescuing her eldest child from the building during the blaze.

Aimee, 38, was working with a producer at the time and her relieved mother responded on the social media platform to a comment from Rajad's wife Pretty Face Ray'Ray, who is also a rapper.

She said: "Your husband alerting her literally saved her life. THANK YOU @pretty.face.rayray."

Aimee, unlike her younger siblings Kelly and Jack, did not appear in a single episode of her family's MTV show The Osbournes, which ran from 2002 to 2005.

She is also yet to make any public comment about the fire, but Sharon added in her Instagram post at the time: "They (Aimee and her producer) are the lucky two that made it out alive. It is utterly heartbreaking that someone lost their life today in this fire & we are sending our prayers to this person & their family.

"What happened today was beyond horrific. I really hope moving forward that buildings like this are better regulated for fire safety."

Piers Morgan Uncensored, TalkTV, 8pm Monday - Friday (Sky 526, Virgin Media 627, Freeview 237, and Freesat 217) and live and on demand on the TalkTV app and at Talk.TV
