Scottish TV host Lorraine Kelly has branded the issues between Harry and his family as a "circus" while discussing the Duke's coronation invite on her show this morning (March 6).
Lorraine was joined by royal expert Russell Myers as it was confirmed that Harry and Meghan had been formally invited to the King's coronation in May. The Duke of Sussex was once again in the spotlight this weekend as he continued his promotional tour for his memoir, Spare.
Harry discussed feeling "free" after attending therapy and writing his book, as he claimed he urged his family to also go to a psychiatrist to deal with their own issues.

Lorraine began the segment by introducing Russell, and asking him about the "olive branch" that Charles has extended to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Russell said: " I didn't think he would be so churlish as to not invite Harry and Meghan, despite all of their gripes and groans from over the water.
"They have received an invitation, and it's very interesting how they let that slip out there too."
Lorraine interrupted and said: "I know, they let us know that they were invited, I think that's weird?"
Russell continued: "It's a little bit strange, they do comment on a lot of things, there's a lot of stories on the back of Harry's book. But they have let people know that they have received email correspondence to the May 6 coronation, so will they, won't they?
"I thought last week, they probably wouldn't because of the hoo-ha over chucking them out of Frogmore cottage - now we understand that they're feeling okay about being evicted from their UK home.
"I mean, your guess is as good as mine at the moment, but the circus goes on!"
Lorraine backed up Russell's statement by stating: "Well it does, and there was more of this circus at the weekend where he had this sort of therapy session that people had to pay for.
"He did say a lot of things that he's already said before, in which he was very revealing."
Viewers weren't best pleased with Lorraine's criticism of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in the beginning of her show today, as they flocked to Twitter to slam the presenter for her attitude.
One Twitter user said: "You just know when there is going to be a Harry and Megan " feature" it will consist of non stop criticising and negativity. Lorraine always looks excited at any opportunity to slag them off. #Lorraine."
Another said: "@reallorraine always on typical b****-mode when it comes to Harry and Meghan. So bitter and vitriolic, like she's been hurt by them personally...One thing though, she's never this passionate about the boring taxpayer-funded royals. Not even Kate's clothes!"
And a third wrote: "Lorraine Kelly is just so toxic when it comes to discussing Harry & Meghan #Lorraine."
A fourth added: "#lorraine Jesus give me patience #HarryandMeghan He's getting labelled with everything now simply because he's speaking from the heart.. Give it a rest.. He's a royal and stuck with it.."
And finally, one concluded: "At least Ms Kelly is consistently “Awful”. Really dumbed down interviews on this program. Time for her to make a graceful exit. New Presenter needed. Pass the remote! #Lorraine."
Lorraine airs every weekday from 9am on ITV. Catch-up episodes are available on the STV Player.
