Piers Morgan: host accuses Prince Harry of being "the only racist in the royal family"
Host Piers Morgan claimed that Harry was the only member of the royal family who made racist remarks.
Piers Morgan does not take offense. Famous host of the show, Good Morning Britain, he was forced to leave his post a few weeks ago because of remarks about Meghan Markle which went very badly with the public. Very critical of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Piers Morgan made a lot of talk after the interview that the princely couple gave to Oprah Winfrey.
He notably claimed that he did not believe Meghan Markle when she said the royal family were worried about the color of her baby's skin. Despite his departure from the flagship ITV show, Piers Morgan has not disappeared from the media landscape, and on April 5 gave a lengthy interview to American journalist Tucker Carlson on Fox News.
During this interview, he claimed that in his opinion the royal family was incapable of making such racist remarks. He even indicated that "the only racist in the royal family is Harry", referring to an episode that takes place in 2006, where Prince Harry had to apologize after calling a Pakistani soldier "our boyfriend Paki" ". According to Piers Morgan, the fact that the tabloids relayed his words at the time explains the hatred that Diana's son would have against them. Regarding Meghan and Harry's CBS interview, Piers Morgan claims that "Seventeen different claims by the couple were either completely untrue or massively exaggerated or unproven." He does not believe in particular that Meghan Markle has communicated her suicidal desires to the royal family and that the latter has remained without reaction.
Piers Morgan couldn't digest his departure from Good Morning Britain
Piers Morgan also did not pass up the opportunity to criticize Alex Beresford, who had contradicted him live on Good Morning Britain about Meghan Markle. "He presents the weather forecast, he's not a journalist. I helped him in his career when he asked me to." According to Morgan, his colleague had planned to attack him head-on live: "He texted me to let me know that he thought I didn't understand Meghan Markle's point of view. I told him to come on over to me. the set so we can talk about it but it came with a premeditated and personal attack on me. " Piers Morgan had left the set of the show that day before returning a few moments later. The next day, he officially left the show, never to come back this time.
