Alastair Campbell made a right royal blunder after “accidentally announcing the death of the Queen” live on air.

The Good Morning Britain presenter was interviewing Vinnie Jones when he got Her Majesty mixed up with Prince Philip, who passed away last month.

The former Labour spin doctor said: “We’ve talked a lot about Prince Philip after the death of the Queen…”

Moments later, the red-faced host interrupted co-presenter Susanna Reid to say: “Can I just say, Susanna, I think I may have accidentally announced the death of the Queen. I meant Prince Philip.”

Susanna nodded her head before telling him: “People knew exactly what you meant.”

But the gaffe left many viewers at home stunned.

One wrote: “#GMB Death of the queen?” Another penned: “Has @ campbellclaret just told us, the Queen died? #gmb”
