Piers Morgan calls Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey a ‘disgraceful betrayal’ of the British Royal family. He said this after the interview aired on Sunday, with millions on Twitter siding with Meghan and Harry for speaking their truth and shaming the British Royal family.
Piers Morgan while speaking on Good Morning Britain said Meghan Markle deserves an Oscars nomination for her lies in the interview.
The presenter mounted a series of attacks on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after they made a series of claims about the hostility and racism they faced from the palace, as well as their relations with senior royals and the press.
Piers Morgan calls Meghan’s interview lies as he jumps to the defence of the British Royal family, using Prince Philip’s health situation as an excuse to racially abuse Meghan. He said:
“They’ve trashed [Harry’s] dad, they’ve trashed his brother, they’ve trashed his sister-in-law. They’ve trashed everything the Queen has worked so hard for and we’re supposed to believe they’re compassionate?”
Calling the interview an “absolutely disgraceful betrayal” of the royal family, Morgan also took to Twitter to say that he expected this “vile destructive self-serving nonsense” from the Duchess but not Prince Harry.
“Harry wants America and the rest of the world to hate his own family, hate the monarchy and hate his country. I suggest everyone waits for the victims of his wife’s rampage to have their say on her outlandish claims before they do so,” he said.
In the interview, the couple spoke at length about the racism they faced from the royal family and the toll it took on Meghan’s mental health.
The Duchess revealed that in the months leading up to the birth of their son, there were conversations within the palace not only about whether Archie would be given a royal title and security but also about “how dark” his “skin might be when he’s born.”
She said that her time as a royal was “almost unsurvivable”, adding that she was left with suicidal thoughts while the palace staff ignored her pleas for help.
Hitting out at Meghan for her claims, Morgan wrote: “I wouldn’t believe Meghan Markle if she gave me a weather report.”
Prince Harry also spoke about how he felt “really let down” by his father for not standing up for them at the time his wife faced scrutiny from the British tabloids, especially when he had gone through “something similar” during his marriage with Princess Diana. But the couple only had kind words for the Queen during the interview.
“The Queen has always been wonderful to me,” Meghan told Oprah. “I just really loved being in her company… she’s always been warm and inviting and really welcoming.”
Attacking the couple, Morgan continued: “Let’s be clear: Prince Harry and his wife just spent two hours trashing everything the Queen stands for & has worked so hard to maintain, whilst pretending to support her. And they did it while her 99yr-old husband Philip is seriously ill in hospital. It’s contemptible.”
People have been calling for ITV to sack Morgan following his hatred towards Meghan and for being racist.
