Discussing the Queen rarely being political, Carol said: “That’s what is so great about her because I think if the monarch starts to get political it’s too divisive.

“I think they would definitely lose support.”

She continued: “I kind of hope the Queen lives forever because, and I’ve said it before on this show, I think she’s staying there because she’s protecting us from Charles.

“I’m not keen on him being king because he’s too political.

“Some of his causes, not everybody supports them and not everyone will support them.

“I worry about the monarchy disappearing if too many people decide they don’t like them or don’t want them any more.”

Carol added: “The Queen is steadfast and she’s been there for so long and everybody has respect for her.

“But I don’t think a lot of people have respect for Charles.”

This isn’t the first time Carol has voiced her opinions on members of the Royal Family.

Last month, Carol clashed with fellow panellist Denise Welch over Prince Andrew.

It came after news that Andrew had settled his civil sexual assault case out of court by paying an undisclosed sum to accuser Virginia Giuffre’s charity.

What happened?

The panel discussed where the reported £12million would be coming from.

Carol said: “I don’t care. The point is we do not know. The speculation that surrounds the royal family is rife, it always has been.”

Carol replied: “We still don’t know what happened, we don’t actually know.”
