GMB's Susanna Reid steps in as Richard Madeley calls Harry and Meghan 'moaners'

Susanna Reid was busy putting out any flames caused by Richard Madeley this morning as they discussed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The presenter was co-hosting Good Morning Britain with the star when she shut him down about his comments on the former royals.

The pair were joined by royal correspondent Jack Royston and biographer Angela Levin.

The Mirror reports they were discussing whether the public would accept Prince Charles' wife Camilla as Queens Consort when he takes the throne.

It comes after the Queen made the announcement about Camilla's status when she steps down from duties.

She updated the country on Accession Day in this, her Platinum Jubilee year.

Jack went on to say that the "royal family need to show the world that they care and they're not indifferent to Diana's experiences".

He said: "Another aspect of this is that they face similar allegations in relation to Harry and Meghan - the allegation there again is emotional indifference to a person's suffering. So what Charles needs to do now... it's inevitable that Charles is going to do this, there's no way they're going to go back on it, is-"

But Richard interrupted as he said: "Hang on - we've got to finish it there, but come on. There's very little public sympathy, in this country at least, for Harry and Meghan. They are not seen in this country as victims at all - they're seen as moaners, basically, by the vast majority of people-"

Looking awkward, Susanna interrupted: "Let's not get into that particular argument."

As Angela - who has been vocal in her criticism of the Duke and Duchess - attempted to say something, Susanna cut in: "No, Angela, l'm really sorry, we have to leave it there.

"And that's not because we were starting to talk about Harry and Meghan! It's simply because it's 8.32!"

"Out of time," Richard declared. "And it's competition time!"

Susanna's former co-host Piers Morgan famously walked out of GMB after controversy when he slammed Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview and accused the former actress of lying.
