Stacey Solomon defends Kate Middleton for saying she feels 'exhausted' in lockdown

Stacey Solomon has defended Kate Middleton for saying that she's felt "exhausted" in lockdown.

The Duchess of Cambridge opened up during a video chat with a headteacher and parents with children who go to the London school.

In the chat, she joked that her three children had become horrified after she became the their hairdresser.

And when asked how they would describe their time homeschooling in lockdown, Kate held up the word "exhausting".

But speaking about the comment on Loose Women, Jane Moore said that Kate had attracted criticism from some calling her "out of touch" and telling her to "read the room".

Asked whether the royals could be relatable, Stacey said: "I don't think it's about being relatable. I don't understand why somebody can't be exhausted?

"Even if I had 30 maids - wow, that would be amazing - I would still be exhausted even just emotionally from my children.

"We do this thing, I think, with somebody's life and say, 'You've got money, you've got love, you've got privilege so you have no idea what it's like to be sad, angry, exhausted, fed up. And I just don't think that's the case.

"I do it to myself a lot - you know when you try and talk yourself out of something? I'm trying to sort that out with. Because any time I feel any kind of emotion other than happy, immediately my default setting is to go, 'No, you're so lucky.'

"And I am. And i'm so grateful for having a roof over our heads, having family around us and all of those things. And I do that, I just deny any sort of feelings that I've got that may be any less than happy because there are so many people that are worse off.

"I do think that at some point you've got to stop doing that and everybody's entitled to days where they're really having a bad day."

*Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV
