Piers Morgan has ripped out co-TV host Gayle King for acting as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s ‘PR mouthpiece’ after sharing the couple’s latest comments about their divorce from the royal family.
“Hi @GayleKing – instead of acting as your Sussex friends’ PR spokesperson to facilitate their ongoing public destruction of our royal family, how about doing your job as a journalist and asking them about all lies they told in @ Oprah’s interview? ” Morgan tweeted the CBS host Wednesday.
“America should hear THE truth,” he insisted.
Morgan’s continued insistence that the Duchess lied during her bombshell Oprah interview eventually led the 55-year-old former tabloid editor to retire from the TV show “Good Morning Britain” – after a formal complaint from Markle.
King, 66, used her own breakfast show, ‘CBS This Morning,’ to reveal a weekend chat she had with boyfriends Harry and Meghan, whose star-studded New York baby shower she attended in 2019.
She revealed on Tuesday that Harry’s initial conversations with his father, Charles, and brother, William, after the tell-all were ‘not productive’ – and that ‘no one in the royal family has spoken to Meghan yet’.
King also said the Sussexes were still angry and frustrated with the way the ongoing saga is framed in the media.
She revealed more on her SiriusXM show on Wednesday, saying the couple would have postponed the airing of their Oprah interview if Harry’s then-ailing 99-year-old grandfather, Prince Philip, had passed away.
Morgan, meanwhile, insisted on Wednesday that it was not ‘racist’ not to believe someone who tells lies. “
He added, “You don’t have to agree with a word I say to support my right to my own opinion.”
