Speaking on Monday GB News' head of digital told viewers how according to palace sources both the Charles, the Prince of Wales and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, will scrap mandatory mask wearing for meetings. Ms Hutson explained how the Prince Charles will continue to wear masks in "crowded situations" but will move to a mask free stance on Freedom Day.
