'Disgraceful' Viewers slam Eamonn Holmes for Princess Diana blunder on This Morning
THIS MORNING viewers took to Twitter today after Eamonn Holmes made an epic blunder during a segment about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
Eamonn Holmes' awkward Princess Diana blunder
Eamonn was discussing their relationship with Ruth Langsford after it was revealed the pair won't be spending Christmas together in Sandringham due to them not being engaged.
Eamonn, 57, was getting worked up over the tradition which means the couple can't spend time together over the festive period and said: "It's not normal!"
He addressed Meghan herself and continued: "If you're watching this morning do get in touch, why are you going out with someone but can't meet his mother, his grandmother even."
"His family," Ruth intercepted.
"His family even," Eamonn said to recover himself.
Viewers were quick to pick up on the presenter's mistake by saying "mother" as Harry's mother Diana, Princess of Wales was killed 19 years ago.
"@EamonnHolmes messes up says Prince Harry's Fiancée Megan can't meet his mother, well that's very true mate she can't!" one user exclaimed.
Another tweeted: "@thismorning did Eamonn actually just say that? Diana is dead. So Meghan can't see her. #disgraceful #horrible #thismorning."
"Awkward slip up there from Eamonn Holmes #ThisMorning," noticed one viewer.
This Morning continues weekdays at 10.30am on ITV
