This Morning viewers were left feeling sorry for Vanessa Feltz as she got caught up in a clash on the ITV show today.
Vanessa joined Camilla Tominey and Matthew Wright on the ITV lunchtime show today as they spoke about the latest revelations made by Prince Harry during his new memoir. In a reportedly leaked excerpt, Harry had allegedly claimed that he was physically attacked by his brother Prince William over Meghan Markle.
During a chat on the ITV show today, Camilla said that the Royal Family were taking a "dignified silence" approach to the claims that Harry had made, with Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace yet to make statements about the claims.
"The Royal Family's reasonableness in all this makes it seem even more unreasonable as the days go on. So this policy probably is the right one," she began to say before Matthew jumped in and interrupted her.
"I just find the idea that you think the palace aren't briefing against them as just naïve in the extreme! I think there's relentless briefing going on! Whether it's done directly or by [a newspaper]."
As he spoke, Camilla tried to continue what she was saying, shouting: "But Matt, Matt, Matt!"
However, he continued to speak and told her "just let me have a moment", to which she fumed: "Do you not think people can make their own minds up?" Vanessa was sat between them and was able to make an odd point, but fans felt sorry for her.
"Actually feel quite sorry for Vanessa sat there in the middle with these two arguing over her #awkward #ThisMorning," one wrote, as another added: "Vanessa stuck in the middle of these two like: #ThisMorning."
A third shared: "I feel oddly sorry for Vanessa today, she’s like the helpless Nan in between the fighting grandkids on that sofa… #ThisMorning," with a fourth adding: "Why is Matthew Wright leering forward across poor Vanessa, shouting over her, interrupting any view she tries to voice and physically stretching across her personal space #ThisMorning."
During the chat, host Josie Gibson said Harry had 'changed public opinion' with his bombshell claims about William.
"He’s never spoken about William. He’s always said, 'I will never ever speak about William' – and he’s spoken about William," she said, "I don’t agree. Meghan’s dad went to the press and I don’t agree with anybody going to the press about family.
"Now, this was his brother and he’s always said about William, 'I will never ever say what he said, I will never ever say what he said'. And then he’s brought something that's quite private into the press."
