Eamonn Holmes hit with over 400 Ofcom complaints after Prince Harry swipe on GB News

Former This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes has been hit with over 400 Ofcom complaints following his comments about Prince Harry.

On April 20, the GB News host was speaking on his breakfast show with Isabel Webster regarding the Duke of Sussex's latest TV interview on The Today Show in America.

During the interview, Harry made certain comments in regards to his grandmother, the Queen. The royal said that he wanted to make sure she was 'protected' and 'had the right people around her'.

He also spoke about his family life with his wife Meghan Markle and two children along with visiting the Queen following his move to the US.

But the 62-year-old was less than impressed with the Prince Harry's comments as he made jibes against him before he questioned why the other royals hadn't 'thrown Harry over the balcony'.

The swipes against Prince Harry didn't stop there as Eamonn also said that the royal was "going to write a book where he "s**gs off" his dad Prince Charles and stepmother Camilla.

On the show last week, he said: "He’s bringing a book out where he’s s****ing off Camilla and maybe William and his father.

"How on earth… why wouldn’t they just throw him over the balcony and her with him?"

Although his comments sparked viewer outrage and The Mirror reports that 402 people complained to Ofcom following the jibe made against the royal.

One viewer tweeted about the clip last week: "@eammonholmes - this is inciting the murder of the Sussexes. Disgusting reporting."

Someone else commented: "@EamonnHolmes is an absolute horror."

Another person said: "This needs to be reported."

While a fourth viewer added: "This is absolutely disgusting. This is why Harry is fighting for proper protection. The hatred towards him is so intense there. They were devastated when Diana died and here they are wanting HER SON dead."
