Piers Morgan has ramped up the heat on Meghan Markle following her podcast appearance on June 17. The Duchess sat down with British entrepreneur Emma Grede for her Aspire podcast, where she opened up about her fleeting and often tumultuous time as a working royal. During the conversation, Markle threw what seems to be thinly veiled jabs at her in-laws, asserting that a “lie can’t last forever,” emphasizing her wish for the truth regarding her experiences in the UK to come to light. While acknowledging she may not be everyone’s favorite, she remains focused on earning “respect.”
Markle also shared her entrepreneurial ambitions surrounding her lifestyle brand, As Ever, noting her plans to expand into hospitality and hosting beyond just jam. It’s all about sharing, she mentioned, in a bid to foster connection.
In a twist, she addressed the viral video of her and Prince Harry twerking in a hospital delivery suite just before welcoming their daughter, Princess Lilibet. While the clip drew its share of scorn, Markle described it as a snapshot of her “authentic, fun life,†expressing gratitude for the ability to share such moments on her own terms. Piers Morgan, however, didn’t hold back in his critique, branding Meghan “Princess Pinocchio” and sarcastically commenting on her complaints about “people peddling lies.â€Â
Social media erupted in response to Morgan’s remarks, revealing a split among his followers. One user retorted, “This is from the woman who expects us to believe her young children have a vendor’s license to sell produce at a farmers market in California.” Another chimed in, saying, “She wants people to tell the truth? Well, open the flood gates!” A third comment questioned, “Considering she’s ‘living her best authentic life,’ why is she still dragging the Royal Family into every conversation after six years?”
On the other hand, several defended Markle against Morgan’s attacks. Comments like, “Leave her alone, it’s as if @piersmorgan is obsessed with just trashing her,” and “You’re obsessed, you freak. All because she rejected you,” highlighted the intensity of the online discussion. Others advised Morgan to drop the obsession, labeling it “a bit creepy.” The situation underscores a long-standing feud that Morgan seems unable to let go of.
Recently, during a heated exchange on his show, Talk TV, Morgan addressed Markle’s rejection. When a guest asked if she had turned him down, his frustration was palpable. “Of course, she rejected me, yeah, whatever. It doesn’t really matter…” he snapped, attempting to brush off the insinuation.
His guest pushed back, implying that Morgan’s anger toward Markle might hold significance. Morgan countered, “I’m not angry with her. I’m angry at the hypocrisy and the ongoing attacks against the royal family.” This is clearly more than a passing interest for him; it’s a battle deeply rooted in his views on the monarchy’s reputation and Markle’s actions.
