ITV This Morning's Holly Willoughby comments on 'nonsense' surrounding the Queen

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Holly Willoughby made her feelings clear as they discussed the Queen on This Morning. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV daytime show on Monday (July 4) alongside Phillip Schofield following a busy weekend for the pair.

While Phillip, 60, attended his first Pride in London since coming out as gay in February 2020 before swapping the capital for Silverstone on Sunday where he travelled by helicopter, Holly, 41, had to miss out on joining her co-star and friend as she celebrated her dad's 70th birthday.

After the pair discussed their weekends, with Holly having to explain the reason for her hoarse voice, it was soon time for the latest 'This Morning's View' segment where they were joined live in the ITV studio by Gyles Brandreth and royal expert Camilla Tominey.

It has been reported that Buckingham Palace has re-written Her Majesty's official duties for the first time in over a decade, with Prince Charles in line to take on some more of his 96-year-old mother's work.
