GB News host Tom Harwood launched a scathing criticising rant at Prince William on Thursday. This comes after the Duke of Cambridge was critical of private enterprises embarking on their own space race. Mr Harwood said Prince William should be more like his late grandfather Prince Philip who appreciated the benefits of space exploration and innovation.

Mr Harwood said: "Miraculous discoveries were made that helped life on Earth just as much as it helped our understanding of the universe.

"Who would have thought that the Apollo programme aimed at beating the Soviets would be responsible for fireproof firefighting uniforms.

"Also things like thermal blankets, advanced cameras, bridge shock absorbers, advances in computing, vacuum-sealed food and freeze-dried food as well as shock-absorbing sports shoe soles.

"Opposing innovation is never a good look, holding back progress puts you on the wrong side of history."

Mr Harwood then began praising Prince Philip and his support of space exploration.

"Prince William should learn from his late great grandfather, Prince Philip.

"He was reportedly fascinated by the moon landings, he met Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins in 1969.

"He even visited the NASA Goddard space flight centre in 2007.

His comments come after Mr Bezos' Blue Origin space travel company with Star Trek actor William Shatner and two other passengers blasted off to the edge of space on Wednesday.

The trip lasted only around 10 minutes before the crew landed safely back on Earth.

He said "If we’re not careful we’re robbing from our children’s future through what we do now. And I think that’s not fair.

"We need some of the world’s greatest brains and minds fixed on trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live."
