Piers Morgan clashes with guest as he rages Harry and Meghan 'as bad as each other'

Piers Morgan got into a heated debate with a guest on his TalkTV show, after claiming Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were 'as bad as each other'.

During the explosive Duke and Duchess of Sussex interview with Oprah Winfrey, the couple opened up about their time in the Royal Family and made a series of allegations, including that an un-named royal had concerns over how ‘dark’ the skin of their baby would be. Since then, the former Good Morning Britain presenter has made it clear he doesn't believe the claims made by the couple.

During a recent instalment of his show, Piers got into a fiery debate with lawyer Paula Rhone-Adrien over allegations that Meghan was bullied for her race. The pair clashed as Piers slammed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and accused them of lying during the fiery exchange, reports the Mirror.

Piers famously left GMB following a row with Alex Beresford over Meghan and Harry's interview with Oprah. During yesterday's interview, he even fumed over Oprah's claims that she didn't know her interview would be a "bombshell" one.

He fumed: "There was no racism whatsoever towards Meghan Markle before that wedding from the press in this country. None. Nada. Zero," to which Paula replied: "You don't know that Piers.

"You can’t say that, because you don’t know what existed for her and what she’s saying and what Harry is saying, because I notice that we’re focusing on Meghan, but Harry is part of this as well."

Piers then claimed the couple were "just as bad as each other" as he accused them of lying in an angry rant.

"If all they did was tell the truth, that’s one thing," he added, "But 17 statements from the Oprah interview alone have proven to be untrue, we still don’t know who this supposed Royal was who raised concern over their child’s skin colour."

Piers previously fumed as he dubbed Harry and Meghan 'whiny money-grabbers' and called their family truce is fake.

"Don’t be misled by the scenes of supposed hatchet-burying between William and his brother over the weekend," he wrote, "That was a show of forced unity to wrestle media attention away from their rift to their grandmother in the run-up to her state funeral next Monday.

"All you need to know about how deep their split goes is that when Harry went to Balmoral as the Queen died, and stayed until the following morning, he reportedly had no contact with William the entire time despite them being in the same building."

He insisted that he's not 'fooled' by Harry and William's attempts to put on a united front following the death of the Queen.
