'Least surprising' Piers Morgan reacts as Meghan and Harry's popularity at 'all time low'

A wealth of famous faces have visited Buckingham Palace over the years, but a handful of stars have also behaved very cheekily while there. From stealing loo rolls to doing drugs, multiple celebrities have taken more than a few liberties during their visits to the iconic royal palace, in central London.

Meghan Markle has come under fire after ditching her royal duties but wanting to celebrate some events with the Royal Family.Prince Harry and his wife recently jetted into London from California in order to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebration with the Queen, 96.

Cheeky comedian Lee Mack wasted no time in using the Queen's Platinum Jubilee as an opportunity to stick the knife in Boris Johnson – metaphorically of course.The northern comic, 53, opened the concert, which is being held outside the gates of Buckingham Palace, by making light of the so-called 'partygate' affair in Downing Street. Speaking with the Prime Minister in attendance, who was in the royal box, Mack said: "Finally we can say the words ‘party’ and ‘gate’ and it’s a positive." The joke drew cheers and laughs from the crowd.The embarrassing quip comes just a day after the PM was booed outside St Paul's Cathedral as he attended the Thanksgiving service with members of the Royal Family.
