Blind Date host Paul O’Grady has given Meghan Markle some advice on how to get in with her new family and, most importantly, how to impress The Queen!
Speaking ahead of Blind Date’s return on Saturday on Channel 5, Paul was asked what Meghan should do to impress her new grandmother-in-law after her recent wedding to Prince Harry.
Paul said: “The Queen is easy to get on with! She likes a good laugh, someone who is straight-talking, so be totally honest with her.”
He added: “Try to avoid too many Americanisms – always remember to say ‘lavatory,’ not ‘bathroom’, otherwise you’ll really rile her.
“Become a horsewoman if you can, because that family loves horses and it’s what the Queen likes talking about – land and animals!”
Paul also had some dating advice for Poldark’s Demelza!
“Be a nit nicer to him,” advised Paul . “The poor man is out there every day, stripped to the waist, in all manner of weather, and then he comes from a hard day and you’re moaning. It’s not a nice environment – just cheer up a bit!”
Blind Date, presented by Paul O’Grady, returns on Saturday on Channel 5 at 8.30pm.
