Piers Morgan takes another Meghan Markle swipe exactly a year after Oprah interview

Piers Morgan has had another go at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's eye-popping Oprah Winfrey interview a year after it aired.

In a tweet, posted at 6.50am, the former Good Morning Britain frontman doubled-down on his views on the couple's 'whine-athon', which was a ground-breaking interview featuring shocking details about the Royals.

He wrote: "It's a year today since I declared that I didn't believe a word Meghan Markle said in her royal-trashing Oprah whine-athon. I still don't."

His comments on the former Suits actress' revelations about her mental health and racism led to him clashing with weatherman Alex Beresford and walking off the morning show for good, it also garnered the most Ofcom complaints for 2021, receiving 54,595.

The Duchess of Sussex herself complained about Morgan's comments on the show but later in 2021 the body cleared him of breaching rules.

One of the most shocking revelations from Oprah's interview with the couple, who now reside in California, was a claim that Harry had "conversations" within the royal household about how dark son Archie's skin might have been before he was born.

During the interview, Meghan refused to say who the conversations had been with, saying it would be "very damaging to them".

Later in the chat, Harry also said he would never reveal the details of the conversations - although it was later reported the comments were not made by the Queen or the late Duke of Edinburgh.

After the interview aired, a statement was issued by the Queen, which read: "The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately."
