Former Kensington Palace aide who played a stripper in a Hollyoaks spin-off carried flowers for Harry and Meghan on walkabout

Beth Herlihy, the Sussexes' $155,000-a-year programme coordinator, followed a few paces behind the couple as they worked the 100-strong Nottingham crowd. She helped plan the day and was filmed ushering schoolchildren into position before they arrived. Under the stage name Bethan Coundley, she played Honey in two 2011 episodes of Channel 4's 'Hollyoaks Later'. She later moved into PR and co-founded the firm Herlihy Loughran.

Her character drugged a man into believing he had killed her with an axe.

The Royal Household is reportedly irritated by the couple's royal-style outing.

One Nottingham local called Meghan 'nauseating' and said the couple aren't 'particularly welcome'.
