Piers Morgan is now shooting Oprah Winfrey’s friend Gayle King after the CBS host continues to wash Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s laundry with the British royal family.
Fresh out as co-host of ITV’s “Good Morning Britain”, Morgan, 55, criticized King for vocalizing information shared with her by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, such as revealing that Harry had spoken to his father, Prince Charles, and his older brother, Prince William, after the now viral interview with Winfrey. King revealed that the talks “were not productive”.
“Hello @GayleKing – instead of acting as a public relations spokesperson for your friends in Sussex to facilitate the continued public destruction of our royal family, how about doing your job as a journalist and asking them about all the lies they told in the @Oprah interview? hear the truth, “Morgan tweeted Wednesday night.
King also said that Markle has “many receipts” to support her allegations of racism. One of the main conclusions of Markle’s interview with Winfrey was the allegation that a member of the royal family had “concerns” about the skin color of her unborn child. The family member was not Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Philip, according to Harry, generating a wave of speculation about who it might be.
PIERS MORGAN SAYS HE STILL DOESN’T BELIEVE MEGHAN MARKLE AFTER SCREWING THE SHOW
Morgan was quickly attacked last week when he said he “doesn’t believe” Markle. Many labeled him “racist”, which he denied on Wednesday.
“Two key points from last week that need to be reinforced: 1) It is not ‘racist’ to disbelieve someone who is telling lies. 2) You do not have to agree with a word I say to support my right to have my own opinions,” Morgan wrote in another tweet.
Last week, Morgan left the set of his old British talk show after entering a debate with a co-host about the royal interview. A day later, the outspoken host broke his ties to the program, but he insists that he still works for the broadcaster.

“The reports of my death on ITV were very exaggerated … I’m back,” said Morgan, along with a photo of a promotion showing an interview he conducted and which he plans to air on Thursday on the network.
British television presenter Piers Morgan left “Good Morning Britain” on Tuesday after making controversial comments about the Duchess of Sussex. The UK media watchdog said on Tuesday that it was launching an investigation into the program according to its damage and wrongdoing rules, after receiving more than 41,000 complaints about Morgan’s comments about Markle.

Morgan’s critical comments about Markle generated more than 41,000 complaints after saying he didn’t “believe a word” of Markle’s claims about racism and intimidation in the royal family. This led to an investigation by Morgan by “Ofcom”, or the Office of Communications, in the United Kingdom, according to its “rules of harm and wrongdoing”.
An ITV spokesman did not immediately respond to Fox News’s request for comment.

During her conversation with Winfrey, Markle also revealed that she was so isolated and miserable as a hardworking member of the British royal family that she had thoughts of suicide. However, when she requested mental health assistance from the palace’s human resources staff, the duchess was told that they could not help because she was not a paid employee.
The interview was attended by almost 50 million people worldwide.
Last week, Prince William, who is second in line to the throne, insisted that his family is not racist. The 38-year-old man was the first British royalty to speak about the accusations of intolerance made by Markle and her younger brother.

The couple moved away from royal duties last year and settled in California, saying they wanted to escape racist coverage and unwanted intrusions into their privacy by the British media.
