TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has been hit with hundreds of Ofcom complaints after calling for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to be ‘thrown over the balcony’.

The presenter made the controversial comments on GB News last week.

His anger stemmed from reports that Harry is working on a book in which he plans to discuss the royal family.

He didn’t take kindly to this plan and said to viewers: ‘He’s bringing a book out where he’s slagging 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?’

Omid Scobie tweeted the video and wrote: “Everyone is entitled to an opinion, especially on an interview made for public consumption. But you know what isn’t acceptable? Vile “commentary” that only serves to incite violence and hate.”

Author, activist and lawyer Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu said: ‘Murder the Queen’s grandson? Throwing Prince Harry and Meghan over the Royal Balcony is NOT an opinion. It’s declared intent to incite MURDER against #HarryandMeghan.’

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
