Piers Morgan claims ‘several’ royals have thanked him after he repeatedly said he doesn’t believe Meghan Markle

Piers Morgan stirred up plenty of controversy for repeatedly blasting Meghan Markle. But certain members of the royal family have allegedly been reaching out to say thanks — at least, according to Morgan. Morgan, who departed Good Morning Britain last month after coming under fire for his comments about Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, claimed during an appearance on Extra that he’s received messages on behalf of “several” royals expressing their gratitude for his comments. “I’ve had some messages communicated to me on behalf of several members of the royal family,” Morgan said. “I’m not going to go into who it was, but what I would say is, [they expressed] gratitude that somebody was standing up for them.” Buckingham Palace isn’t commenting on this claim. Morgan previously declared on Good Morning Britain that he doesn’t “believe a word” Meghan Markle says after she and Prince Harry gave a bombshell interview to Winfrey, which he panned as “contemptible” and a “two-hour trash-a-thon.” Their allegations included that there were “concerns” in the royal family about “how dark” their baby’s skin would be, and Meghan also opened up about experiencing suicidal thoughts. Meghan herself reportedly complained to ITV about Morgan, raising concerns over how his comments might affect those experiencing suicidal thoughts. Since he left Good Morning Britain, though, Morgan has only continued doubling down on his position, telling Extra that “you should be entitled not to believe somebody if you don’t want to” while declaring himself “resolutely uncanceled.” More stories from theweek.com5 scathingly funny cartoons about MLB vs. the GOPGallup: Democrats now outnumber Republicans by 9 percentage points, thanks to independents3 reasons Biden is defending the broadness of his infrastructure plan
