This Morning chef Clodagh McKenna’s husband – who is a close friend of the Royal Family – has leapt to the defence of hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
Harry Herbert, the son of the 7th Earl of Carnavon whose family calls Highclere Castle Estate where Downton Abbey is filmed home, said the backlash the presenters are facing over ‘queue-gate’ is “awful”.
It comes after they were falsely accused of jumping the queue to see the Queen lying in state.
