Colin Firth’s ex-wife shreds MBE certificate whilst slamming Charles for Trump’s state visit

Colin Firth's ex wife hands back MBE as she slams King Charles for 'appeasing' Trump
  • Livia Firth, the ex-wife of Colin Firth, has returned her MBE in protest against King Charles hosting US President Donald Trump during his recent state visit.
  • The 56-year-old activist, recognised for services to sustainable fashion, posted an Instagram video on Wednesday (24 September) showing her tearing up the certificate.
  • Firth stated she was “shredding” her honour and “returning it to the sender” due to her belief that the monarch “appeased and honoured and legitimised” Mr Trump.
  • In a letter, she expressed disappointment that King Charles, despite his decades of environmental advocacy, hosted someone she described as a “horrible excuse for a human”.
