MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry lied or exaggerated 17 times during their bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview, Piers Morgan has claimed.
The former Good Morning Britain host insisted he was right not to believe the Duchess of Sussex in her Oprah interview, alleging that 17 of her claims in the chat have proved incorrect.
Piers, 56, was booted from his ITV morning show last month after expressing doubts over her bombshell allegations during the Oprah sit-down with Prince Harry.
In the interview Meghan, 39, had claimed that she was denied access to mental health care when she was feeling suicidal because she was told it “wouldn't look good for the institution”.
She also alleged that racist comments had been made by a senior royal about Archie's skin colour before his birth.
Now in his own interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson last night, Piers demanded Meghan Markle reveal who specifically rejected her pleas for help over her mental health, before she quit as a frontline royal.
He also accused Harry and Meghan of "complete hypocrisy" with the interview and insisted he has the "universal support" of the British public.
In his first TV interview since he departed Good Morning Britain, Morgan told to American news personality he stood by his comments, blasting the couple for the "most extraordinarily disingenuous smear, hit job".
