In a surprising turn of events, the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla, has reportedly expressed her gratitude to Piers Morgan for his relentless criticism of Meghan Markle.
The outspoken former host of Good Morning Britain has been one of Markle’s most vocal detractors, accusing her of lying, manipulating, and betraying the royal family.
Camilla’s appreciation for Morgan’s defense of the monarchy against Markle’s allegations was revealed in a new book by royal expert Omid Scobie titled “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival.”
Morgan’s clash with Markle reached its peak in March 2021 when he famously walked off the set of Good Morning Britain.
This came after a heated debate with his co-host over Markle’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
During the interview, Markle claimed to have experienced racism, isolation, and even suicidal thoughts during her time as a senior royal.
Morgan, in response, dubbed Markle the “Pinocchio Princess” and challenged her to name the royals who allegedly made racist remarks about her son Archie.
According to Scobie’s book, Camilla, while maintaining her silence on the matter publicly, sent a private message to Morgan expressing her appreciation for his stance.
A palace aide informed Scobie about Camilla’s sentiment, stating that while she would never speak ill of others or comment publicly, there was gratitude that someone was standing up against Markle’s claims.
Scobie’s book also reveals alleged tensions within the royal family.
It suggests a frosty relationship between Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Markle.
Scobie claims that Middleton once jokingly shivered at the mention of Markle’s name.
Additionally, the book highlights Prince William’s anger towards his brother Harry for what he perceived as throwing their family under the bus.
William felt betrayed by Harry’s decision to leave the royal family and move to the US.
The release of Scobie’s book is expected to further ignite controversy and tension within the royal family, which is still recovering from the fallout of Markle and Harry’s departure and subsequent revelations.
The couple currently resides in California with their two children and has embarked on various ventures, including signing lucrative deals with Netflix, Spotify, and Penguin Random House.
They have also launched their own foundation, Archwell, and have been vocal about issues such as mental health, social justice, and the environment.
However, their outspokenness has drawn criticism from former fans and allies.
Neither Morgan nor Buckingham Palace has commented on Scobie’s allegations so far.
However, Morgan has previously dismissed Scobie as a sycophantic cheerleader for Markle and Harry, accusing him of fabricating stories about the royal family.
