According to the details, Morgan restated his dismissal of claims that Markle made in her sit-down with Oprah Winfrey last month.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson for his show Tucker Carlson Today, Morgan said that he still doesn’t “believe what they were saying, and in particular I don’t believe what Meghan Markle said. 17 different claims by the pair of them have now been proven to be either completely untrue, or massively exaggerated or unprovable.”
“I didn’t believe Meghan Markle, a huge furor erupted through the day, I was an outrage, I wasn’t allowed to have an opinion that I didn’t believe what she was saying even though it was clear to me in real time as I was watching the interview that there were a number of things which just couldn’t be true,” he added.
Morgan’s comments faced an extensive backlash following the broadcast of Winfrey’s interview last month, in which Markle claimed to have suicidal thoughts when she was pregnant but was unable to get help from the Royal staff. “It’s not for me to say whether she felt suicidal, that’s only for her to know,” Morgan told Carlson, as per Fox News.
While talking about her child, Meghan told Oprah that a high-ranking royal “raised concerns and conversations about how dark his skin would be when he [Archie] is born”. On which Piers demanded to know more detail about the unnamed royal who “raised concerns” about Archie’s skin colour.
Carlson and Morgan each criticized Winfrey for the way that she conducted the interview.
Morgan said that it “wasn’t really an interview. This was her allowing two friends the platform to spray gun Britain, the monarchy, the royal family, the Queen, Prince William’s wife. You name it, they took them down. And that’s fine. That’s their decision. It’s their life, they can do what they want. But to do it when you’re still calling yourself Duke and Duchess of Sussex, I’m sorry, that is rank hypocrisy.”
