Junior members of the royal staff have been left “disappointed” after they were left unable to see the late Queen’s coffin due to the huge queues, while some celebrities and MPs were given priority access.The likes of This Morning's Holly Willoughby, 41, and Phillip Schofield, 60, were able to skip the queue that saw some loyal subjects waiting hours on end.

MP Jacob Rees-Mogg was also given priority. This has left some members of the late Queen’s royal staff upset as some weren’t able to make it to her Lying-in-State at Westminster Hall. “They have the same Queen as everyone else,” said a source.

They added to Mail Online: “It’s pretty galling to see some people being given priority over others.” In light of them skipping the queue, some people called for This Morning hosts Holly and Phil to be “sacked”.

One person wrote on Twitter: “If indeed @Schofe and @hollywills jumped the queue to file past the Queen’s coffin it should be a matter of never ending shame for them.” Another added the hashtag #queuejumpers and wrote: “I find that discusting that holly and phil think they don't need to queue like the everyone else, just to make 'popular tv'.
