Piers Morgan slams Meghan and Harry as he brands Spotify statement 'beyond parody'

Piers Morgan has taken yet another swipe at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on social media.

The former Good Morning Britain star, 56, took to Twitter on Friday (March 18) after Spotify released a statement about misinformation.

Piers’ comments also came amid the announcement that Harry and Meghan’s Archewell podcast is set to debut on the hit streaming platform in the summer.

In January, the formerly royal couple urged Spotify to make changes to prevent “serious harms” resulting from Covid misinformation.

At the time, the world’s leading podcast – The Joe Rogan Experience – received backlash from artists like Neil Young who fumed the podcaster was spreading Covid misinformation and boycotted the service.

However, Harry and Meghan’s production company Archewell has said it’s satisfied that Spotify is “adequately addressing the problem of misinformation on its platform”.

Piers seemed to call Meghan a “liar” as he reacted to a tweet from CNN’s chief media correspondent Brian Selter, who shared a story from Variety magazine.

The tweet read: “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell production company says it’s satisfied that Spotify is adequately addressing misinformation on its platform — and announced that a podcast featuring Markle will hit the audio-streaming platform this summer…”

Blasting the couple’s update in front of his 7.9million followers, Piers penned: “So a proven liar is now satisfied nobody else is lying? Beyond parody.”, adding a series of laughing emojis.

Harry and Meghan’s Spotify deal was reportedly born out of a £13.69million deal, but the couple have only produced one episode so far which was released in December 2020.

Harry and Meghan’s podcasts aim to “build community through shared experience, narratives and values”.

The former Fleet Street star called Meghan a liar on his GMB show after her historic interview with chat show titan Oprah Winfrey last year, where she said she had suicidal thoughts as a member of the Royal Family.

Ofcom went on to receive 58,000 complaints about the ITV presenter’s comments about the couple’s Oprah chat, but the media regulator later ruled the star’s comments did not breach its broadcasting code.

Meghan herself also filed a complaint to the regulator, suggesting she didn’t agree with the broadcaster’s comments.
