Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan, 53, has been outspoken about his less-than-favourable opinion of the Duchess of Sussex in the past, even calling her a ‘fake friend’, but now Meghan’s latest royal engagement has led to the journalist dubbing Markle ‘patronising’.
Last week Meghan Markle, 37, accompanied by her husband Prince Harry, put together food parcels at charity One25, an organisation that supports sex workers in Bristol.
The Duchess than shared a story about how a dinner lady in a US school would write messages on fruit for her pupils each day, to which she then decided to try out the generous method at One25, infamously writing messages of support on bananas.
While some people admired Meghan’s messages, the shock jock took issue with the ‘publicity stunt’, declaring on the air: “Giving a sex worker a banana is clearly exposing her to potential mockery.”
Morgan became heated on the Good Morning Britain segment saying: “If you’d been advising Meghan Markle before this, would you have said maybe not the bananas?”
Morgan took it one step further and mocked Markle, putting on a high-pitched voice and exclaiming: “Hand me my Sharpie, my moment has come.”
This isn’t the first time Piers Morgan has publicly ridiculed the Duchess.
Back in December last year, the British TV host called the royal a “cut and runner,” and claimed that Meghan “dropped” her friends and family after marrying Prince Harry.
Speaking on the Dec. 5. segment, the host said: “I fear the pattern with Meghan, whether it was the ex-husband who suddenly got chopped or whether it was the family who got banned, the father who has now been chopped, or me on a much tinier level.
“She’s a bit of a cut and runner.”
