Morgan, who now pens a column for the Post, has been one of Meghan Markle's most vocal critics, accusing her of dishonesty, manipulation, and betrayal of the royal family. His clash with his co-host on Good Morning Britain in March 2021, following Meghan's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, is well-remembered. In that interview, Meghan claimed to have experienced racism, isolation, and suicidal thoughts during her time as a senior royal. Morgan famously walked off the set and later referred to Meghan as the "Pinocchio Princess," challenging her to reveal the identities of the royals who allegedly made racist comments about her son, Archie.
Omit Scobie, who co-authored the sympathetic biography "Finding Freedom" about Meghan and Prince Harry's exit from the royal family, asserts in his new book that Camilla was impressed by Morgan's stance and privately conveyed her appreciation. Scobie's sources revealed that Camilla would never publicly comment on the matter or speak ill of others, but there was a sense of gratitude that someone was standing up against Meghan's claims.
Scobie's book, set to be released on November 28th, also makes additional claims, such as suggesting a frosty relationship between Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Meghan Markle, with Kate allegedly shivering at the mention of Meghan's name. Scobie also asserts that Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, was deeply upset with his brother Harry for what he saw as throwing the family under the bus and betraying their royal legacy by relocating to the United States.
The book is expected to ignite further controversy and tensions within the royal family, which is still dealing with the fallout from Meghan and Harry's departure and their subsequent revelations. The couple now resides in California with their two children, having signed lucrative deals with Netflix, Spotify, and Penguin Random House and launching their foundation, Archewell. They have also been vocal on various issues such as mental health, social justice, and the environment, drawing criticism from former fans and allies.
As of now, neither Piers Morgan nor Buckingham Palace has commented on Omid Scobie's allegations. Morgan has previously dismissed Scobie as a "psychopathic cheerleader" for Meghan and Harry and accused him of writing fictional accounts about the royal family. Morgan has vowed to continue holding Meghan and Harry accountable for their actions and statements, asserting that he won't let them escape scrutiny.
