In a shocking turn of events, Piers Morgan has made explosive claims regarding Meghan Markle’s alleged involvement in phone hacking.
This comes after the High Court ruled that Prince Harry was indeed a victim of phone hacking by Mirror Group newspapers, during Morgan’s tenure as editor.
The court also accepted evidence that Morgan had knowledge of journalists engaging in this unethical practice.
Addressing the press outside his London home, Morgan vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
He clarified that while there was one article published by the Daily Mirror during his time as editor that may have involved unlawful information gathering, he had no knowledge of how it was obtained.
It is important to note that all other claims against the Daily Mirror under Morgan’s leadership were dismissed by the court.
Morgan further emphasized that he has never hacked a phone or instructed anyone to do so, and no concrete evidence has been presented to prove otherwise.
Surprisingly, Morgan was not called as a witness or asked to provide a statement in the case.
He expressed his willingness to cooperate had he been given the opportunity.
The former Good Morning Britain host also revealed that he had no communication with Mirror Group’s lawyers throughout the legal process.
Morgan expressed frustration over the false allegations made against him in court, which went unchallenged by the Mirror Group counsel.
He accused his adversaries of having ulterior motives and highlighted their lack of credibility.
One individual who played a significant role in the proceedings was Omid Scobie.
Scobie, who claimed to have been an intern at the Mirror Group under Morgan’s supervision, allegedly had knowledge of the phone hacking involving Prince Harry.
Interestingly, Scobie is now working closely with Harry and Meghan.
Morgan pointed out the irony of Scobie’s involvement, considering Meghan’s past friendly relationship with him and their exchange of advanced copies of her show, Suits.
This raises suspicions that Meghan and Scobie may have been involved in hacking Harry’s phone.
Morgan expressed concern over Scobie’s recent behavior on social media, particularly his celebratory tweets following Harry’s legal victory against the Mail on Sunday.
Morgan suggested that Scobie has not learned his lesson and continues to engage in questionable activities.
He likened Scobie’s actions to drinking from the “Harkle dog bowl” and insinuated that he may be thirsty for more controversy.
Concluding his statement, Morgan shifted his focus to Prince Harry.
He criticized the prince for his apparent hypocrisy, condemning media intrusion into the private lives of the royal family while simultaneously engaging in ruthless and lucrative endeavors himself.
Morgan highlighted Harry’s public criticism of his own family, even during the difficult times of his grandparents’ declining health.
Morgan also took a swipe at Harry’s upcoming book, Endgame, which the prince had previously used as a threat.
Morgan dismissed the book as preposterous and suggested that even Harry’s supporters would struggle to believe its contents.
He also hinted at potential legal consequences for Scobie, who may face legal action due to the failure of his book and lack of support from Meghan.
In conclusion, this latest revelation by Piers Morgan has shed light on the alleged involvement of Meghan Markle in phone hacking.
While Morgan vehemently denies any knowledge or participation in such activities, questions remain regarding the extent of Meghan and Scobie’s involvement.
As the story continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how these allegations will impact the already strained relationship between the Sussexes and the media.
