GB News presenter shares health update as Duke of Sussex faces legal defeat in UK
TV broadcaster Eamonn Holmes, known for his outspoken criticism of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, has been rushed to hospital following a painful fall at home. The 65-year-old GB News host posted a photo from his hospital bed on Instagram, captioning it:
"An unexpected journey this morning… bit of a fall on the bathroom floor. Gosh it hurts. Thank you Ambulance crew 🙌👏."
The incident comes just as headlines continue to swirl around Prince Harry’s legal defeat in his appeal to reinstate taxpayer-funded security while in the UK—a case that the Duke personally attended last month during a visit to London.
Holmes, a frequent critic of the Sussexes, has drawn controversy in the past for his blunt remarks. He notably dismissed the couple’s interview with Oprah Winfrey as nothing more than “an advert,” and has previously faced criticism—including from ITV—over the language he used to describe Meghan Markle.
While Holmes recovers from his latest health setback, Prince Harry faces the fallout of his court loss, which may leave him liable for up to £1.5 million in legal fees. The Duke has expressed disappointment in the ruling and voiced concerns about his family's safety during future UK visits.
No further details have been shared about Holmes’s condition, but fans and colleagues have taken to social media to wish the presenter a speedy recovery.
