Lorraine Kelly took a brief moment to pause her live show to issue a direct plea. The presenter was back fronting her self-titled show, Lorraine, on ITV on Monday morning (January 30) when she looked to the camera and sent a direct message to non-other than King Charles.
During her first edition of the morning show this week, Lorraine was joined by royal editor Russell Myers to discussing the latest news and rumours surrounding the royal family. Among the topics being discussed were claims palace aides are reportedly in discussions on a possible interview with the monarch.
It is reported that the King could be set to break his silence in a landmark BBC interview follwoing a string of claims made by his son, Prince Harry, in his memoir Spare as well as the six-part Netflix documentary series he filmed with his wife Meghan Markle.
As Lorraine discussed the claims with Russell, the Scottish TV star stopped and turned to the camera to give a direct plea to His Majesty, joking that he'll be watching ths how. "Please don’t," she pleaded over the interview. "No. Take the high ground," she added.
But Russell replied: “Of course we all would want to hear from him. He gave an eloquent speech just when he was taking over the top job, talking about unity, togetherness. I’m sure he would want to convey those sorts of messages. However, it’s all getting a bit soap opera-y."
Lorraine agreed it was, adding: “You know full well he could go and do that interview with Jonathan Dimbleby and it could be 99 percent all about his good works and what he’s planning and all the rest of it. Then there would be one question about Prince Harry and that would dominate the whole thing so, no."
She then repeated her earlier stance and added: "Do not do it. Step away from the situation, Your Majesty." Russell then joked: "Unless we get him on the sofa ourselves,” and Lorraine replied: “He’s got an open invite."
