Piers Morgan storms TV set amid accusations of ‘trashing’ Meghan Markle

British Tory broadcaster and former CNN host Piers Morgan stormed the live set of a popular UK breakfast show amid accusations he ‘sacked’ Meghan Markle in the wake of her revealing interview.

The TV host was confronted by co-star Alex Beresford during a live recording Tuesday of Hello Great Britain and criticized for his public tirade against Meghan since Sunday’s broadcast.

Morgan had a lot to say about Meghan’s explosive remarks after the interview, describing her appearance as nothing more than “whining athon” and “selfish nonsense”.

In an editorial written for the Daily mailMorgan called the allegations a “surprisingly unproven claim” from a woman who “aggressively plays the cards of sanity and race.”

In another interview with Fox News, he described Meghan’s one-on-one with Oprah as “the acting performance of her life”, adding that it was “designed to portray her as the ultimate victim”.

However, on Tuesday, Beresford made an effort to probe Morgan more about his feelings for the mother-to-be.

“I understand you don’t like Meghan Markle and you’ve said it so clearly many times in this program,” Beresford began. “And I understand that you have a personal relationship with Meghan Markle – or have had one – and that she has interrupted you. She has the right to interrupt you if she wishes. She said something to your subject since she interrupted you? I don’t ‘I don’t think she did. But yet you keep ransacking her. “

Obviously unimpressed, Morgan then gets up from his seat and storms off the set, telling his fellow co-hosts, “I’m done with this.”

The show paused for a brief hiatus after Beresford described Morgan’s abrupt departure as “absolutely evil behavior.”

Morgan, a staunch royalist, returned to the set almost 20 minutes later, where he criticized Beresford for “launching a derogatory personal attack” and added: “What we need to do is talk about it in such a way. civilized, given that we are working on the same show in the same team. “

Beresford has revealed that she was asked what her unborn child’s complexion would be in light of Meghan’s claims that while pregnant with her son, members of the royal family expressed “concerns” as to the dark color of the baby’s skin. .

She told Oprah: “We have in tandem the conversation about ‘You won’t get security, you won’t get a title’ and also concerns and conversations about the color of her skin when she was born.”

Morgan has expressed disbelief in Meghan since the interview aired.

“This interview is an absolutely shameful betrayal of the Queen and the Royal Family,” he tweeted on Sunday. “I expect all this nasty, selfish destructive nonsense from Meghan Markle – but for Harry to let her bring his family and the monarchy down like that is shameful.”

Morgan particularly drew attention to the fact that the interview aired while Prince Philip is still recovering in hospital after heart surgery.

“For Harry to have caused so much harm to his grandmother the Queen at a time when her husband is gravely ill in hospital is just appalling,” said the outspoken talk show host. tweeted.

“Let’s be clear: Prince Harry and his wife just spent two hours trashing everything the Queen stands for and worked so hard to maintain it, while claiming to support her. And they did while her husband Philip, 99-year-old is seriously ill in hospital It’s despicable, ”Morgan added.

“They are basically making the whole royal family a bunch of white supramacists by dropping this racing bomb,” he exclaimed in an angry on-air tirade.

Morgan took to Twitter again to describe the interview as a “shameful rant of cynical propaganda aimed at damaging the Queen … and destroying the monarchy.”

“Is it too late for the Oscar nominations?” the 55-year-old joked, adding “I wouldn’t believe Meghan Markle if she gave me a weather report.”
