According to the Mirror, Camilla commented that the podcasts have still taken aim at the Royal Family which proved to be lucrative for the couple when it came to boosting media for their upcoming projects.
Hitting back, the publication said that Phil fumed. He said: “There's no dignity in that though is there?” to which Camilla replied: “Well, no”.
The TV host then added: “I mean the Queen is 96-years-old, dignified her entire life, now having to cope with this. There have been rumours that she and the Prince of Wales are 'bewildered' by what they are saying.
“We've been very sympathetic and then sometimes we've been critical but then you look at it and think, oh why don't you both just shut up.”
The couple are making their first visit to the UK since the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITV Hub.
