Another commented: "@BBCBreakfast can Naga stop coming out with such stupid statements .. she should be taken off air."

A third added: "Hey @BBCNews Catherine also did not join William at Balmoral… why stress that Megan wasn’t  there with Harry?? Stop. Some respect for ALL her family."

, said: "The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.

"We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.

"During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held."
