Susanna Reid reacted objectively and calmly to a cheeky comment from Spice Girl Mel B on Good Morning Britain as Scary Spice praised her for not "queue-jumping" and joining the hours-long queue to see Queen Elizabeth II lying in state at Westminster.
The pop star was appearing on the show to talk about the letter she received from the Queen after receiving an MBE for her work with Women's Aid. Mel said: "I mean, when I received this letter, a few months ago, I was looking at it, trying to make it sink in, and obviously since her passing, this is her writing. It is handwriting. She sent this to me personally. This is going to be framed. Of course it is. She really took time out to connect with people and this is such an honour. It makes me well up just thinking about it. I was in the last batch of people honoured by her."
Susanna went on to ask : "You have a good relationship with Camilla, the Queen Consort. She has made this a mission as well - to talk about domestic abuse and violence. That is quite a topic for her to take on, isn't it?"
