Piers Morgan accuses Meghan Markle of ‘acting her way to the top’ in furious rant

The Good Morning Britain host has recalled his personal experience with her

Piers Morgan has accused Megan Markle of “acting her way to the top” during a furious rant on Good Morning Britain. 

The TV presenter has claimed that they used to be friendly back in 2016, but that she quickly “ghosted” him after meeting Prince Harry.

He said: “I’ve had my own experience with her, which was not great to be honest. 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.”

While discussing Meghan’s alleged ‘feud’ with Kate Middleton and her behaviour within the royal family, Piers continued, “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.”

On GMB , the host also said that Meghan should accept the media backlash she has received, as she knew what she was getting into when she joined the Royal family.

“You can’t set your sights on a Prince to this country who is in line to the throne and expect to have a normal private life afterwards, it’s part of the deal. To live in palaces at our expense you get to be in the papers,” he said.

Piers was speaking to journalist Radhika Sanghani during his rant, and after GMB aired on ITV, she took to Twitter to slam Piers’ comments.

She tweeted: “The media is trying to invent a catfight ‘feud’ with her and Kate, they call her ‘bossy’ & ‘difficult’ – words we don’t use for men – and so much of the narrative is trying to force her into the ‘angry black woman’ trope.”

However, Piers backed up his comments by replying, “What utter nonsense. And you have no idea if the stories are true or not! My experience of Ms Markle suggests they could definitely be true.”
