Meghan Markle has proved where her loyalties lie as she got back at Piers Morgan thanks to a savage gift. The Duchess of Sussex has found herself at the centre of Piers’ world for years as she’s been the subject of many claims from the broadcaster.
The controversial TV presenter is known to slam the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and even sensationally quit Good Morning Britain after ranting about the former actress in 2021. Last month, Piers was quick to watch a few moments of Meghan’s new Netflix show before slamming her.
He branded the series ‘unwatchable’ after tuning in for only a few minutes of it. Piers said: “I tried watching it, and after, honestly, about three, four minutes, I was done. It was just unwatchable. It’s just the ultimate kind of vanity project, where it’s all about people telling Meghan how great she is, her telling everyone how great she is.
”It’s not even her house. She’s doing things like making coffee, making a basic cake. There’s nothing to actually learn here. And it’s interesting to me that in Britain, they’re incredibly unpopular, her and Harry. I mean the most unpopular Royals, which, when you think we have Prince Andrew, is pretty extraordinary to go under that bar.”
In the show, Meghan introduced her new range of products and made sure to send Piers’ rival a present in an effort to make a very clear dig at the broadcaster.
Good Morning Britain’s Alex Beresford shared a snap on his Instagram of a jar of Meghan’s raspberry spread. He declared: “Can’t wait to try this! Thank you so much @meghan…”
Meghan even went a step further and sent a large Jelly Cat octopus teddy bear to Alex’s newborn daughter as he gushed: “…And for Camille’s sweet gift.”
Piers lost his job on the ITV morning show after clashing with Alex over Meghan. He dramatically left the show back in 2021 after receiving 41,000 Ofcom complaints over his comments about Meghan.
Speaking about the Duchess of Sussex’s Oprah Winfrey interview in which she opened up about her mental health struggles, Piers said that he “didn’t believe a word” of her admission.
He also took issue with Meghan’s claims that there were “concerns and conversations” over how dark Prince Archie’s skin colour would be, before he was born.
Piers was confronted by weather presenter Alex over his comments the following day, with Piers storming off set after their heated conversation. Alex said: “I understand that you don’t like Meghan Markle [Piers] – you’ve made it so clear a number of times on this programme, a number of times. I understand you’ve got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle or had one, and she cut you off.
“She’s entitled to cut you off if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don’t think she has, but yet you continue to trash her.”
Taking issue with this criticism, Piers butted in, announcing: “OK, I’m done with this” as he strode off set, barking: “You can trash me mate, but not while I’m [inaudible].” He announced his sudden exit from GMB shortly after.
