- Steadman, 76, said she completely disagreed with the Duke of Sussex
- She said she was glad the late queen was not alive to witness his actions
Gavin and Stacey actress Alison Steadman has criticized the “disgraceful” Prince Harry, saying she “can’t bear to look at” his memoir Spare.
Steadman, 76, who played Gavin’s mother Pamela Shipman in the comedy, said today that the Duke of Sussex should ‘just keep going’ and ‘shut up’ after his recent controversial heart-to-heart meeting with Gabor Mate.
The “intimate conversation” about “living with loss and personal healing” between the Duke and the trauma expert was streamed live to paid viewers on Saturday night.
Steadman said she was glad the late Queen Elizabeth was not alive to witness Prince Harry’s “shameful” actions and recent revelations about life as a royal.
In an interview with the mirror, she said: ‘It was his prerogative to leave the royal family and they let him in, so I think he should just go ahead and keep his mouth shut.”

The comedic actress added that as an ambassador for the cancer charity Marie Curie, she had the opportunity to meet the then Prince Charles in 2019.
She said: ‘He is a very warm and kind man. You don’t feel intimidated in any way.
“He probably saw me on TV and he just turned around and said, ‘Oh! Hello, hello,’ and it was like meeting a fan.”
In the show, Pamela and husband Mick roughly impersonate King Charles and Camilla, Queen Consort.
When asked about these scenes, she said she didn’t know if they had watched them, but hoped they weren’t offended.
