Susanna added: "Yeah, I think she is lovely, it is a misjudgement!"
The broadcaster reiterated her support for Camilla during the debate by agreeing with Richard's comments about the royal being "wonderful".
"The vast majority of people contacting us say they are not happy with Camilla becoming Queen ultimately," said Richard. "But these are all people, and I include myself in this, who have never met her and every single person I have ever met over the years who has actually bumped into Camilla or met her at some 'do', including Susanna here, say that she's wonderful."

The Queen announced her decision on Saturday in a statement marking the 70th anniversary of her accession. The message read: "When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes king, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service."
