Pat was so proud of her granddaughter 

Pat's proud family moment came before she joined the panel of The Talk on Wednesday to help co-host the show following Sharon Osbourne's exit last month.

Sharon quit the show after an internal investigation following her defence of Piers Morgan, who has been accused of racism and sexism towards Meghan Markle.
