Piers Morgan took a savage swipe at Meghan Markle on today’s Good Morning Britain, accusing her of “attacking the Queen ” during a video call.
The 55-year-old controversial television presenter didn’t hold back as he ripped into the former royal once again live on the ITV programme.
Piers savaged Prince Harry and 38-year-old Meghan after they took part in the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust video call.
They were having a discussion which was set up in response to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Piers slammed the couple, raging: “I’m trying to be fair, but honestly the idea of these two in their Hollywood mansion continuing to lecture the world about how things should be and this sort of irony, saying: ‘It’s time to be uncomfortable’.

“They’re the most comfortable people in the world!
“These two quit the royal family because they want to go and do their own thing in Hollywood that’s fine, it’s their choice.
“But if they’re going to start attacking the Commonwealth and the Queen is the head of the Commonwealth, they’re picking a proper political fight and therefore they put themselves back in the news agenda.
“What will happen is they’ll be rightly criticised and play the victim. They’ll say: ‘How dare you criticise us’ and so the circus goes on.”

Susanna Reid rushed to the defence of Harry and Meghan, praising the pair for speaking out about the BLM movement.
Piers shot back, saying: “These two are stuck in a big celebrity mansion in Hollywood yet they want to pop up in these videos and tell everyone how to behave and live their life.
“My issue with this video is it was all just noise, there was no substance, no ‘this is what we should do’ – it was just general virtue signalling.”

In the video, Harry had said: “When you look across the Commonwealth, there is no way that we can move forward unless we acknowledge the past.
“So many people have done such an incredible job of acknowledging the past and trying to right those wrongs, but I think we all acknowledge there is so much more still to do.
“It’s not going to be easy and in some cases it’s not going to be comfortable, but it needs to be done, because, guess what, everybody benefits.”
Meghan added: “We’re going to have to be a little uncomfortable right now, because it’s only in pushing through that discomfort that we get to the other side of this and find the place where a high tide raises all ships.
“Equality does not put anyone on the back foot, it puts us all on the same footing – which is a fundamental human right.”
