Good Morning Britain sparks backlash over Prince Harry detail as fans fume 'give it a rest'

Good Morning Britain has sparked outrage over a Prince Harry detail as fans fumed "give it a rest".

During Wednesday's (September 10) episode of the hit ITV programme, Susanna Reid and Ed Balls delivered the latest news from across the UK and around the world.

They were joined in the studio by Laura Tobin, who presented regular weather forecasts, while Charlotte Hawkins shared the rest of the day's news.

Later in the show, the hosts discussed Prince Harry's recent donation of £1.1 million to a Children in Need project

"Prince Harry has made a personal donation of £1.1 million to a BBC Children in Need project in Nottingham, which supports young people who have been affected by violence," Ed said.

Susanna added: "Prince Harry hopes the donation from his own money, rather than his Archewell charitable organisation, will help changemakers in the city continue their mission to create safe spaces.

"But is the donation a genuine gesture or a cynical way to win back public support?"

Shortly before a debate took place on the topic, the show posted a poll on X (formerly Twitter), asking whether the donation was "genuine".

However, GMB viewers were quickly left frustrated by the nature of the poll and the discussion of Prince Harry and his relationship with his father, King Charles.

"Give it a rest," one person wrote, with another adding: "Give him a break. Good on him for doing it."

A third said: "Do most people hand over £1.1m disingenuously? What an absolutely ridiculous question. Are you alright?" while another similarly shared: "FFS! Have you all lost the plot?"

A fifth viewer echoed the sentiment, saying: "Oh give over about Prince Harry," with another writing: "Why is there speculation over a father meeting with his son? Hardly news."

The Duke of Sussex arrived in the UK on Monday (September 8) and visited Windsor Castle, where he left flowers for his grandmother, the late Queen, on the third anniversary of her death.

Harry then attended the annual WellChild Awards in London, amid speculation his trip could include meetings with his brother, Prince William, or his father, the King.

The WellChild Awards marked the first time the Duke of Sussex, who is the charity's patron, has returned to the UK in five months.
