Lizzie Cundy ordered off TV set after ripping up Meghan Markle mask and dig at Duchess

Ex-WAG Lizzie Cundy was thrown off a TV set after ripping up a mask of former-pal Meghan Markle and declaring: "Not a royal anymore."

Lizzie, 54, was appearing on James Whale's Talk TV show, when she interrupted a segment to rip up the mask and make the jibe.

The former wife of Jason Cundy had been singing singing Land of Hope and Glory, with Su Pollard, when it was gatecrashed by a man wearing a face mask of the Duchess of Sussex.

Presenter James expressed his annoyance at the prank, with Lizzie then walking over, taking the mask off the gatecrasher and tearing it up.

She said: "No no not a royal! Not a royal anymore!"

Appearing shocked, radio presenter James asked: "No, what are you doing?"

Watching Lizzie rip up the offending item, he shouted: "Out, both of you out!

Lizzie walked off set as James resumed his seat. Looking at the camera, he said: "I'm so sorry and embarrassed Your Majesty.

"I will not allow them back on again, this is Talk Television and the James Whale show."

Meghan and husband Harry, who now live in the US, returned to the UK to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee this weekend.

While watching the Trooping the Colour, the couple were seen playfully telling some royal children including Savannah and Isla Phillips and Mia and Lena Tindall to be quiet as they watched the parade at Horse Guards Parade.

Meghan looked elegant in a navy dress and a large hat as Princess Beatrice's husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi looked on. Meanwhile images showed both Harry and Meghan chatting to the Queen's cousin the Duke of Kent.

However, there was no appearance from the pair on the Buckingham Palace balcony later for the RAF flypast after the Queen decided only working royals should appear.

The pair were also at the National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Lizzie shared her view on Meghan's return for the four-day weekend.

She said: "I know that the palace are very worried, they're more worried about her than Andrew because they're worried about what will be said.

"They're worried about what will be used in interviews or in the memoirs."

Yesterday, the Queen sent birthday wishes to her great-grandaughter Lilibet as Prince Harry and Meghan's daughter turned one.

Her Majesty's well wishes were quickly followed with messages from Lilibet's grandparents Charles and Camilla and her uncle Prince William and auntie Kate.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tweeted: "Wishing a very happy birthday to Lilibet, turning one today!"

And Prince Charles added: "Wishing Lilibet a very happy 1st birthday today!"

Lilibet, who was born in America, is spending her first birthday in the UK with her parents and brother Archie.

According to reports, the Queen finally got to meet her great-granddaughter and namesake within 48 hours of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle touching down in the UK.
