Piers Morgan labels Meghan Markle 'piece of work'

Piers Morgan has criticised the Duchess of Sussex in a scathing new interview, describing her as “a piece of work” and comparing her behaviour to that “of a Kardashian” as opposed to a member of the royal family.

Speaking to LBC on Thursday, the Good Morning Britain host said he felt “conned” by Meghan Markle, claiming that he was with her before she met the Duke of Sussex for the first time and never heard from her again because “she’d met someone more important”.

“I had a bad experience with Meghan Markle, I’ve talked about it a lot,” Morgan said.

"I’m afraid, she’s a bit of a piece of work," he added, arguing that Markle "drops people as soon she gets someone more important in her life".

Morgan went on to explain how he disapproves of the way the Duchess "treats her family", pointing out that none of them, bar her mother, Doria Ragland, were present at her wedding.

The broadcaster also condemned the royal couple for using £2.4m of taxpayers’ money to renovate their Windsor home.

“That’s the behaviour of a Kardashian,” he said, “not somebody who married into the royal family, so they’ve got to be careful.”

When asked if he would consider meeting with Markle again, Morgan said he wouldn’t.

“I was of use to her when it suited her,” he explained. “I was conned by her, I thought she was nice, I thought she was a nice person.

“I put her in the cab to meet Harry, never heard from her again, she met somebody more important and that was it, gone, bang, ghosted.”

Morgan’s comments come almost two months after Markle gave birth to her first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, with Prince Harry.

The couple shared a photograph of Archie on Instagram on Father’s Day, which showed the newborn baby holding his father’s finger.
