Piers Morgan is on a royal tear.
The broadcaster appeared on “Extra TV” on Tuesday to talk to host Billy Bush about leaving his presentation of ‘Good Morning Britain’ and he apparently received support from members of the British royal family for ‘stand up for them’ in comments he made about Meghan Markle.
Morgan left ‘GMB’ after saying he ‘did not believe a word’, the Duchess of Sussex said last month during Harry and Meghan’s first-time special with Oprah Winfrey.
“I would not believe her if she read me a weather report, and the fact that she fired this attack on our royal family, I think is contemptible,” Morgan said at the time.
The comment apparently got nervous because Morgan told Bush that he had to convey some messages to me on behalf of several members of the royal family. “Morgan refused to name names when Bush asked if it was ‘people at the higher level’ sticking out their hand.
“Well, I’m not going to who it was,” the author said, “Wake Up.” “But what I would say is gratitude that someone stood up for them.”
A Buckingham Palace spokesman told HuffPost on Wednesday that “this is not something we are commenting on.” Kensington Palace did not return a request for comment.
Morgan also told Bush that he “should apologize to the infidel Meghan Markle, who I do not believe.”
“I think – which is ironic – that you should be entitled to believe someone if you do not want to,” the broadcaster added.
During Meghan’s interview with Oprah, the Duchess said she was considering suicide, and that members of the royal family apparently expressed racist concerns about how dark her son’s skin would be before he was born. Prince Harry also revealed that his father, Prince Charles, “stopped calling” during conversations about his royal retirement and claimed that his family “literally cut me off financially.”
Gayle King, ‘CBS This Morning’ host and friend of the couple, later shared an update on Harry’s conversations with his father and brother, Prince William, calling them ‘not productive’.
“The word I was given was that the talks were not productive,” King said in her program in March. “But they’re glad they at least started a conversation.”
“I still think what upsets them is that the palace keeps saying they want to work it out privately, yet they believe these fake stories are coming out that Meghan is still contemptuous of,” King said.
‘I think it’s frustrating for them to see that it’s a racial conversation about the royal family when all the time they wanted was for the royals to intervene and tell the press to stop the unfair, inaccurate , fake stories that definitely have a racial slant. , ”The journalist added. “Until you can admit it, I think it’s going to be difficult to move forward.”
