US chat show host and close friend of Meghan Markle, Gayle King is receiving flak after asking why Princess Anne was the only female to walk behind Prince Philip’s coffin during his funeral procession.
People took to Twitter to hit back at Gayle’s “sexist” question.
Many users pointed out that Princess Anne is “Prince Philip’s only daughter” hence why she was the only female present.
"Gayle asked Tina Brown why Anne was in the funeral procession with the men?
"Uh, Princess Anne is Prince Philip's only daughter!" one user wrote.
Another person added: "I don't see why she was surprised.
"Princess Anne even walked for the Queen Mother funeral procession.
"And I find it disrespectful of her to even question.
"Princess Anne was his only daughter.
"Of course she was going to do that."
One user even urged Princess Anne “to sure Gayle King”.
