Piers Morgan has repeatedly criticized Meghan Markle over several years, focusing on her honesty, her claims in the Oprah interview, and the impact he believes she has had on the royal family and public debate.

Key things he’s said

  • He has called Meghan “Princess Pinocchio,” accusing her of lying and exaggerating, particularly about her experiences within the royal family.
  • He has said “I don’t believe a word she says, Meghan Markle. I wouldn’t believe it if she read me a weather report,” arguing that her claims about the royal family are “contemptible.”
  • After her Oprah interview, he publicly stated that he did not believe her comments about mental health and racism, which triggered thousands of complaints and ultimately contributed to his exit from Good Morning Britain.
  • In interviews and columns, he has blamed Meghan for what he calls “damage” to the monarchy and has portrayed her as manipulative and overly dramatic.

Longer-running feud and history

  • Before things turned hostile, Morgan actually praised Meghan, describing her as having “beauty, brains, charm and a great sense of humour,” and calling her “perfect princess material” in earlier columns.
  • He later claimed she “ghosted” him after meeting Prince Harry, saying that once she became serious with Harry, she cut off contact with him and others he knew from Suits.
  • From around 2018–2019 onward, his commentary shifted into regular on-air criticism, accusing her of playing the victim and using her acting skills to gain sympathy.

Career fallout and later comments

  • His on-air dismissal of Meghan’s mental health claims led to a live on-air clash with colleague Alex Beresford, after which Morgan walked off set and then left Good Morning Britain altogether.
  • A U.K. regulator later ruled that the broadcast did not breach rules because his comments were strongly challenged on air, but they acknowledged his remarks showed “apparent disregard” for the seriousness of suicidal thoughts.
  • Morgan continued attacking Meghan in op-eds and TV appearances, framing the controversy as a “free speech” battle and saying he refused to apologize for not believing her.

More recent framing

  • In later commentary and a book, he has portrayed himself as helping to “bury” what he calls Meghan’s “race claims,” arguing that accusations of racism around the royal family were exaggerated or false.
  • He frequently links Meghan to broader culture-war debates, describing her as emblematic of what he sees as “woke” victimhood and media manipulation.

TL;DR: Piers Morgan’s comments about Meghan Markle range from early praise to sustained, highly personal criticism, centering on claims that she is dishonest, overly dramatic, and harmful to the monarchy, with the feud becoming a long-running media and culture-war storyline.
