However, the interview has been described as “in poor taste”, “deplorable” and of “horrendous timing”, as it will likely be broadcast when Philip, 99, lies in hospital undergoing treatment for an infection and tests on a heart condition.
He has spent 15 nights in hospital, the last two of them at a specialist heart hospital, St Bartholomew’s in London.
Sources told the
Daily Express that ITV would not broadcast the show, due to air in the US on Sunday evening, if Philip’s condition deteriorated.
One insider said: “I don’t imagine CBS will care but ITV won’t be able to broadcast it.”
