This Morning's Phillip Schofield forced to intervene to halt Royal Family spat

Phillip Schofield stepped into calm things down on This Morning as Vanessa Feltz and Matthew Wright became embroiled in a spat about the Royal Family.

As he stays silent on the 'queue jump' accusations against himself and co-host Holly Willoughby, following their arrival at Westminster Hall on Friday, Phillip fronted the show alongside Holly on Wednesday, a day after she issued a statement on their behalf to deny any wrong doing.

Holly assured ITV viewers that "they would never jump a queue," as she explained that they gained access to a separate queue to the one the likes of David Beckham and Kelly Holmes lined up, for 'reporting purposes only,' along with other members of the media. The presenting pair headed to Westminster to report on the Queen's coffin lying in state there before her funeral and on Wednesday, talk turned to what will happen to the Royals without Her Majesty on the throne.
