Meghan Markle’s 'FAKE!’ Piers Morgan labels duchess 'SOCIAL CLIMBER’ in furious rant
MEGHAN Markle is a "hard-nose social climber", Piers Morgan said in a scathing rant, insisting the Duchess as ”fake" and uses people to get to the top.
Piers Morgan: Meghan Markle slid into my DM’s pre-Prince Harry
Piers Morgan, the Good Morning Britain presenter lashed out at the Duchess of Sussex in a furious rant during an interview with Deborah Knight on Australia's Today Show. When Ms Knight asked "is Meghan really fake and a piece of work as I know you've said before?" Mr Morgan replied: "You know what I'm sorry to have to say I'm afraid I think she is.
"Although some people really like her and are falling for this act I'm afraid I see a bit of hard-nosed actress.
"She's been using people on her way up to what is now, of course, the top, which is marrying into the royal family."
Mr Morgan recalled the time he had drinks with Meghan in 2016, saying that she "ghosted" him every since.
Speaking about the time, he said: "I got to know her quite well over two year period. We would message each other a lot, e-mail a lot.
"I had a couple of pints of real ale and she had dirty martinis.
"She said afterwards in the cab 'I had a great time. Love to see you again.' It was purely platonic I hasten to add.
"She went in that cab that night to a party Prince Harry was at and the next night she went on the date with him. I never heard from her again. Ever.
"I don't like people that behave like that. It's kind of rude. It showed me that she, I'm afraid, is probably a bit of social climber."
In a dire warning to Prince Harry, the presenter added: "Good luck to Harry. I hope he knows what he's doing. If it all goes wrong don't come try crying to me. Don't say I didn't warn you."
Mr Morgan made similar comments about the Duchess in December last year, calling her a "piece of work" amid reports palace staff found her difficult to handle.
In a scathing rant, 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.
"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."
Piers Morgan: Meghan and Harry will have a baby next year
His comments come amid reports Meghan faced issues with her palace staff, with palace insiders branding her "Duchess Difficult".
Meghan's personal assistant, Melissa Toubati, quit after 17 years of working with the Royal Family.
Meanwhile, the Duchess' bodyguard, is said to be leaving her role after working for Meghan for just six months.
A Scotland Yard source told the Sunday Times: “Unlike someone who has grown up in the royal family and has been used to having close protection from an early age, it can be quite constraining.
“Even though she was a famous actress, she could still do what she wanted in the way of getting around freely.
"But in her current role she can’t go anywhere without her protection team and that’s a massive constraining force on an individual like her.”
