This made reference to Buckingham Palace’s recent statement on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview.

The Queen said the Palace will investigate the couple’s allegations of racism within the royal family after they claimed there were “concerns” about how dark their son Archie’s skin might be before he was born.

Meanwhile, Celia shared a parody, created by comedian Alexandra Haddow, which joked about Celia being shocked over waking up to see Piers every morning.

Due to 6am starts on GMB, Piers was up in the early hours of the morning however now he can sleep in a bit longer.
