Not weird at all
Livia Firth Shreds Her Royal Honor in Fiery Protest of Trump’s UK Visit
Livia Firth ignites controversy by tearing up her MBE and vowing to return it to Buckingham Palace, slamming Trump’s UK state visit as a “grotesque pantomime” in a fiery Instagram protest.
Livia Firth, eco-crusader and former wife of Pride and Prejudice star Colin Firth, has sparked a firestorm by publicly destroying her MBE certificate in protest of Donald Trump’s red-carpet treatment in the UK. The 56-year-old Italian, awarded the royal honor in 2019 for her sustainable fashion work, tore up the Queen Elizabeth II-signed document in a fiery Instagram video, slamming Trump as a “horrible excuse of a human” with “poisonous rhetoric” that’s wrecking the environment.
In a bold move that’s got X buzzing, Firth announced she’s mailing the MBE medal back to St. James’s Palace, along with a handwritten letter, oddly dated October 2025, blasting Britain’s “cowardly” decision to host Trump for a lavish state dinner with King Charles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton. “I can’t reconcile honoring someone who stands for the obliteration of the natural world,” she wrote, signing as “Livia Giuggioli (Firth)” from her 22-year marriage to Colin, which ended in 2019. Her caption calls out the “grotesque pantomime” of Trump’s visit, urging Brits to take a stand.
Colin Firth remains silent, and Buckingham Palace hasn’t responded. As Trump’s UN General Assembly speech fuels global debate, Livia’s MBE meltdown is the talk of the town, leaving everyone wondering: Who’s next to ditch their royal honors?
