Piers Morgan called Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “cowards” on Monday for making allegations of racism against the British royal family without calling any individuals by name.
During the couple’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired Sunday night, Markle said there were “concerns and conversations about how dark” her son Archie’s skin “could be when he was born”. Markle added that she had been informed of her husband’s conversations, adding that “these were conversations that the family had with him”.
“It is very cowardly of them not to say who said that and to make everyone look guilty by association,” Morgan told Martha MacCallum in “The Story” on Monday. “You know, they said now apparently via Oprah, it wasn’t the Queen [Elizabeth II] or Prince Philip. Well, who was it?
“Because the people who [they’re] putting on the board here are potentially the next king of England [Prince Charles], and his heir in [Prince] William, “he added.” And I just think that these are very serious accusations. If you’re going to do this, name the person who said it and let that person defend himself. “

“What she says, what is even more insidious, is that in fact the decision against Archie being a prince was made because of the color of his skin,” said Morgan. “Now, the only person who makes title decisions in the royal family is the queen.”
“So, what Meghan Markle is saying is [that] the queen is a racist, “he added.” And that is a disgusting and completely untrue claim to make. “
