“This is a two-hour ‘trashathon’ of our Royal Family, the monarchy and everything the Queen has worked hard for, done while Prince Philip lies in hospital.
“They basically make out they are a bunch of white supremacists
by dropping a racist bombshell.”
Meghan claimed Archie was banned from being a prince after the Royals questioned how ‘dark skinned’ he would be.
She then added she had suicidal thoughts in the tell-all interview with Oprah.

The Duchess said she begged for help from the Firm after struggling with her mental health – saying it was her husband who “saved” her.
But Piers demanded to know who she had asked – as he fumed: “Who did you go to? What did they say to you?
“I don’t believe a word she says, Meghan Markle. I wouldn’t believe a weather report if she read it.
“The fact she has expressed an onslaught against our Royal Family is contemptible.”
Adding more on Twitter, Piers said: “Let’s be clear: Prince Harry and his wife just spent two hours trashing everything the Queen stands for & has worked so hard to maintain, whilst pretending to support her.
“And they did it while her 99yr-old husband Philip is seriously ill in hospital. It’s contemptible.”

- Meghan claimed Kate made HER cry in row over a flower girl’s dress

- Prince Harry said his brother is ‘trapped’ in the Royal Family
In a two-hour sit-down interview with Oprah, the Duchess of Sussex claimed there had been conversations with Prince Harry and a “family” member about their unborn son and what colour his skin would be – and “what that would mean or look like”.
But the 39-year-old declined to say who had started those conversations, saying it would be “damaging” for them.
Prince Harry said he would “never share” the full details of the discussion but that he was asked at the start of his relationship with Meghan how dark the skin of their children might be.
Speaking to Oprah, Meghan said the concerns had been raised at the same time that the future parents were told Archie would not receive security as he was not a prince.
She said: “All the grandeur around this stuff is not really important to me.
“But in those months when I was pregnant, all around same time: we have in tandem he won’t be given security, a title and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born.”
Oprah was left stunned and replied: “What? There is a conversation… hold on. Hold up. Hold up. Stop right now. There’s a conversation with you?”
Meghan replied: “With Harry.”

Oprah went on: “About how dark your baby is going to be?”
Meghan replied: “Potentially, and what that would mean or look like.”
Oprah then gasped: “Whoa.”
Asked whether there were concerns that her child would be “too brown” and that would be a problem, Meghan said: “If that is the assumption you are making, that is a pretty safe one.”
Prince Harry confirmed he had been involved in the conversations but said he would never share the details.
He said: “At the time it was awkward but I was a bit shocked.”

But in the explosive interview, the 39-year-old said she had been told she would not be able to seek help as it “wouldn’t be good for the institution.”
Piers went on to lock horns with his co-host Susanna Reid over the bombshell Oprah interview.
The 55-year-old presenter sarcastically thanked his co-host for “lecturing him about journalism” in the fiery clash.

As they debated Meghan’s claims about the Royal Family, Piers fumed: “Just because they’re saying it’s ‘their truth’, doesn’t make it true what they’re saying, does it?”
Susanna responded: “We do take them seriously. We discuss them on the programme. We are journalists, we do things differently. We take everything seriously.”
Furious Piers hit back saying: “Well, thanks for the lecture on journalism.”
