Dermot O'Leary has waded in on the debate surrounding Prince Harry and his wife Meghan's Netflix documentary.
This Morning presenter Dermot, 49, described the Duke and Duchess of Sussex calling their former royal home Nottingham Cottage "small", as "tone deaf".
The pair's Netflix documentary sees them describe life before stepping away from royal duties, including their time at Nottingham Cottage, which is in the grounds of Kensington Palace.
The home, where Prince William and Princess Kate had lived in with their son George, was gifted to the couple by the late Queen Elizabeth II after they married in 2018.
Harry, 38, in episode four of the documentary, said: “As far as people were concerned, we were living in a palace, and we were. But in a cottage on palace grounds.”
Meghan, 41, added: “Kensington Palace sounds very regal, of course it does it has palace in the name, but Nottingham Cottage was small.
“He [Harry] would just hit his head constantly in that place because he’s so tall.”
Harry went on: “The whole thing is on a slight lean, really low ceilings so I don’t know who was there before but they must have been very short.”
Meghan also said: "It was a chapter in our lives where I don't think anyone could believe what it was actually like behind-the-scenes."
Harry added that TV presenter Oprah Winfrey came over for tea and "she sat down and she goes ‘no-one would ever believe it’.”
During yesterday's edition of This Morning, Dermot and co-host Alison Hammond discussed the controversial documentary.
Alison, 47, said: “Everyone saw that they were living in Kensington Palace but they wanted to show people it was actually quite a small little pad. It was only small.”
Dermot said: “I don’t really have any skin in the game here at all, but it did feel slightly tone deaf that part of the show.”
In the second set of three episodes, released earlier this week, Meghan claimed she was "fed to the wolves", Harry alleged that people "lied to protect Prince William" and the couple spoke about their security fears.
Harry and Meghan discuss their serious fears for their wellbeing, having lost their taxpayer-funded police protection after quitting their roles as senior royals in early 2020.
"Our security was being pulled. Everyone in the world knew where we were," explains Meghan.
"I wonder what would have happened to us had we not got out when we did," says Harry, who also spoke about wanting to protect his wife and kids in the opening three episodes.
He adds: "I said, 'we need to get out of here'."
Both King Charles and Prince William have refused to respond to the claims made by Prince Harry and Meghan in the explosive programme.
