Meghan Markle used to be friends with Piers Morgan, but the two had a falling out before the Duchess of Sussex wed Prince Harry.
The former Good Morning Britain host revealed that Markle froze him out shortly after she and Prince Harry started dating. But before meeting the Duke of Sussex, Markle regularly spoke with Morgan in the hopes that he would introduce him to a British bachelor.
Piers Morgan Says He Doesn’t Believe Meghan Markle
Following their falling out, Morgan has said a number of hurtful things about Meghan Markle. And the feud between the two eventually resulted in Morgan leaving Good Morning Britain. Now, the former host once again lashed out at the Suits alum.
“I still don't believe a word Meghan Markle says. I think almost everything that comes out of our mouth is complete [expletive]. But whether you agree with me or not, doesn't matter. Susanna Reid, on that same show where I got into all the trouble, was saying the complete opposite. Well, why is she entitled to believe her, given how many lies were coming out of Meghan Markle's mouth?” Morgan said (via Express).
Morgan also said that he still doesn’t understand why he was censored from speaking negatively about Markle.
“I just don't understand why someone's right to believe was deemed to be more than, more valued and protected and someone's right to disbelieve them,” he said.

Piers Morgan Called Meghan Markle’s Behavior Shameful
Morgan’s anger toward Markle couldn’t be discounted. In fact, he doesn’t trust whatever comes out of the Duchess of Sussex’s mouth to the point that he admitted that he won’t believe it if Markle were to read him the weather report.
He also previously called the Duchess of Sussex’s behavior shameful.
“We're talking [about] someone who was on national TV in America, trashing our royal family, trashing the monarchy, humiliating the Queen, all while Prince Philip was seriously ill, and then later died. I thought it was utterly shameful, totally disgraceful,” he said.
Piers Morgan Slammed Meghan Markle Over Her Upcoming Podcast
Last month, Markle finally announced that she is working on a podcast for Spotify after weeks of questioning why she hasn’t given the public an update. Prince Harry’s wife revealed that her podcast would be called Archetypes. And when Morgan found out about the project, he immediately slammed Markle.
“Meghan Markle’s first Spotify podcast to 'explore labels that hold women back’ shared by royal expert Chris Ship, with crying laughing emoticons, saying ‘Is ‘Princess Pinocchio’ one of them?’” Morgan tweeted (via The News).
Piers Morgan Criticized Meghan Markle’s Efforts To Reach Out To The Less Fortunate
Last year, Morgan also criticized Markle after she and Prince Harry talked about their own struggles while visiting the less fortunate.
“Imagine going to make a documentary in South Africa and then turning the documentary into a ‘woe is me’ about your terrible life and making all the headlines about you. You have a palace full of servants, she is playing the media game. She’s an actress Susanna and she realized she was getting all this negative press and has turned on the waterworks to make us feel sorry for her,” he said (via Geo.tv).
Markle has not responded to Morgan’s criticisms over the past couple of years. And some of her supporters also accused Morgan of being bitter simply because he wasn’t invited to Markle and Prince Harry’s royal wedding.
