This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield has taken aim at Prince Harry over his cryptic comments about wanting to “protect the Queen”.
During an interview at the Invictus Games, the Duke of Sussex said he enjoyed visit his grandmother recently but wants to make sure she is “protected” and surrounded by “the right people”.
The meaning of Harry’s comments was discussed during a segment on the ITV daytime show on Wednesday (April 20).
Royal contributor Camila Tominey said during The Morning View segment: “Maybe we’re reading too much into it.”
“He did sort of say, I felt, as a throw away remark, to be honest.

“I don’t think he said it in a very calculated way there in that interview.”
Tom Swarbrick pointed out: “But that’s also true of a lot of other things they’ve said isn’t it? Again this throw away line which explodes because they are who they are and they talking about a family that is so important.”
Host Phillip added: “Yeah, but even though he thinks he has backed away from that lifestyle and said how much it affected his mental health, he still knows how it works.”

He continued: “He still knows that you can’t, as him, have a throw away line like that.
“It will be analysed, it will be looked at and we don’t know what the conversation was.
“They may have been roaring their heads off laughing having a wonderful time saying ‘lovely to see you, sorry we can’t stay longer, good to see you granny’, but a line like that is something that will be analysed.”

Earlier in the show, Phillip took a cheeky swipe at Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The presenter explained that they were looking for people to talk to agony aunt Deidre about forgiveness and he went on to reference Mr Johnson’s recent apology after he got fined for breaking lockdown laws.
Last week, saw Mr Johnson become the first sitting Prime Minister to be sanctioned for breaking the law when he was fined by the Metropolitan Police, alongside his wife Carrie and Chancellor Rishi Sunak, over a birthday gathering for the PM in No 10 in June 2020.

Referring to Mr Johnson’s apology, Phillip said to Deidre: “Maybe Boris could call in.”
Holly agreed: “Yes Boris. You give us a call.”
