“We’ll hear Prince William’s plan to shake up the Monarchy after that pretty disastrous tour.”
Later on the show, royal expert Russell Myers joined Lorraine to discuss the tour.
Mr Myers said: “There was lot of instances of success in this tour and William and Kate were well received from a lot of the places they went to.
“However, the tour was marred by protests, small in number but mighty in voice.
“Whether William’s speeches on slavery went far enough, campaigners didn’t think that they did.
“The optics of the tour weren’t great.”
He added: “However, we are in a very different world. The Black Lives Matter movement has really moved everyone’s thoughts on.”
Lorraine said: “Yeah they sort of looked out of date and out of touch at times. Not necessarily their fault.”
Some viewers weren’t happy with Lorraine’s comments on the royal couple.
One person said on Twitter: “I disagree with Lorraine that William and Catherine’s royal caribbean tour was ‘disastrous’!!”
Another wrote: “Hardly a disastrous tour!! Just the media as usual finding fault with everything for a story!! Be impartial at least #Lorraine.”
One added: “I take it #lorraine not a royalist then??”
