In a blazing interview on Australia’s Today Show, Piers Morgan has accused Meghan Markle to be a ‘social climber’ who has acted her way to top.
Morgan told interviewer Deborah Knight that the Duchess of Sussex was fake and has used several people to reach where she is now.
When Deborah asked Morgan if Meghan was ‘fake and a piece of work’ as he has said before, Morgan replied: ‘You know what I’m sorry to have to say I’m afraid I think she is.’
‘Although some people really like her and are falling for this act I’m afraid I see a bit of hard-nosed actress,’ he added.
‘She’s been using people on her way up to what is now, of course, the top, which is marrying into the royal family.’
Morgan said he had been friends with the former actress before she met Prince Harry. ‘I got to know her quite well over two year period,’ he said.
‘We would message each other a lot, e-mail a lot.’
Morgan also recalled one of the times the pair met in London. ‘I had a couple of pints of real ale and she had dirty martinis,’ he said.
‘She said afterwards in the cab “I had a great time. Love to see you again.” It was purely platonic I hasten to add.
‘She went in that cab that night to a party Prince Harry was at and the next night she went on the date with him. I never heard from her again. Ever.
‘I don’t like people that behave like that. It’s kind of rude. It showed me that she, I’m afraid, is probably a bit of social climber.’
Morgan then issued a warning to the prince as he concluded his answer.
‘Good luck to Harry,’ he said. ‘I hope he knows what he’s doing. If it all goes wrong don’t come try crying to me. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.’
It wasn’t the first time the Good Morning Britain presenter has bashed the former Suits star. He harshly criticized the duchess on daytime TV in the UK in December 2018.
He called Meghan a ‘piece of work’ before saying she ‘ghosted him when she met someone more important.’
In his scathing tirade, he claimed Meghan was rude to the staff at the palace. He said the Duchess of Sussex has ‘social climbed her way’, and, ‘seized her chance and acted her way to the top’.
‘I’ve had my own experience with her, which was not great to be honest,’ he added. ‘I knew her for about a year and a half.
‘I got on really well with her and then ‘bang’ she met someone more important and immediately ghosted.
‘I never heard from her ever again and the old slippery slope ladder had gone up and she social climbed her way out of my orbit.
‘So my experience wasn’t great, I’ve got to be honest with you. And everything I’ve seen since does slightly smack of an actress, a Hollywood actress, seizing her chance and acting her way to the top.’
Some rumors had also surfaced earlier that month.
It had emerged that Meghan ‘threw a hissy fit’ before her wedding day by demanding air fresheners in Windsor Castle because she was ‘unhappy with the musty smell’ in St. George’s Chapel.
Meghan was also rumored to be very demanding of staff, and it was being said that she sent email requests to palace staff early in the morning.
Morgan also compared Meghan with Duchess of Cambridge, her sister-in-law, saying: ‘Kate Middleton is very ‘home counties’ and safe, almost groomed for the role – it’s much easier for everybody to have that kind of person.
‘Meghan is from a very different background, a TV star, and probably finds the Palace system very suffocating and annoying.
‘And the people around her like the formality of it and probably equally find her annoying.’
‘She didn’t inspire me, she sacked me like a sack of spuds,’ Morgan added. ‘Take people as I find them, and I wasn’t impressed.’
‘If you’re watching Meghan – I’m not happy.’
