Coleen Nolan reveals the 'worst thing' as a mum after heartbreaking family fallout

ok.co.uk:

An episode of Loose Women became particularly emotional as Coleen Nolan confessed that the thing she fears most "as a mum" is her children no longer speaking to each other.The discussion took a poignant turn on the ITV show when Prince William's birthday wishes for Prince Harry led to reflections on sibling rifts.

Coleen compared the Royal brothers' estrangement to her past troubles with her own sisters. Jane Moore added that since they've lost motherly figures like Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II, there's no one to knit the family back together, saying: "I wonder that they don't have that woman in their lives going, 'Come on, sort yourselves out'".

Echoing the sentiment, Coleen expressed her belief that, had Diana been alive, the rift between her sons wouldn't exist: "I genuinely believe it would never have got to this.They both idolised her and she idolised them." She also touched on her belief that her own maternal presence prevents long-lasting conflicts: "I think it's really important.The fall-out I had with my family, with my sisters, for like four years...

I don't think that would have continued as long as it did had my mum still been around." "Because you go, 'We don't want to upset mum, it's not worth upsetting mum'.
