Piers Morgan has named Sarah Ferguson as one of the royals who reached out to support him after he was forced to quit Good Morning Britain over his coverage of Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey.

It comes after Piers previously declared that "several members of the royal family" had reached out to him after he called out Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over their bombshell claims.
In his column for the Mail on Sunday this weekend, Piers admitted Prince Andrew's ex-wife Fergie was one of the royals who had supported him.
He wrote: "Not all Royal duchesses were as thrilled as Meghan 'Pinocchio' Markle to see me leave GMB.

"'People have said how much they miss your morning joy and humour,' texted Sarah, Duchess of York, 'get back out there!'"

Sarah Ferguson is hardly a key royal, and i certainly wouldn't admit to her being a supporter of mine

How laughable and pathetic ,that he actually thinks Meghan would waste a second of her time thinking about him .

She wasted more than a second watching him on GMB, phoning Ofcom and then the boss of the show to complain about him. She can't stand that he can see right through her.

Piers has spent his entire crappy 'journalism' career on bashing Meghan , I'm actually shocked when he talks about another subject . Because usually all that comes out his mouth is "Meghan this Meghan that " .

He's an angry bitter salty bag of hot air . He repeatedly moans and gets upset over Meghan . Anyone would think he'd been bliddy married to her .

Nothing ever happened between him and Meghan ,but in his fanfiction mind he actually thought his washed out self had a chance with her . Everything he projects is that of an obnoxious narcissist .

Meghan still hasn't spent her life and career worrying about him. He can't go 5 seconds without ranting about her , it's embarrassing .

Wondered how long it would be that Harry and Meghan were to blame for a 99yr old with an abundance of health issues dying.

The irony is that there's literally no way for people defending this crap to be right. You have literally two options;

1) People are talking crap and Philip would have put his personal links with and love for his grandson above the monarchy/duty and all of the pomp and nonsense, in which case he would not have been devastated by Harry living his own life, and would be furious about him being attacked by the press and public on his behalf...

OR

2) ...he had more devotion to the institution than to his grandkids and would be happy to see his grandson and his grandson's wife attacked on his behalf after his death, and in fact using his death as a stick to beat them with, in which case Harry was absolutely right to get his family far away from that.


Those are your choices. Either people are wrong and Philip would NOT want his death being used to attack his family, OR people are right and Philip would be happy with this in which case **** the lot of them and Harry and Meghan are far better off away from that.

FWIW I think it's the former and Philip would be furious about being used as a battering ram in death.

My goodness
I can't recall ANYONE saying Philip would be devastated at Harry living his own life, in fact I don't recall anyone even on here saying he shouldn't live his own life.
It would think however that Prince Philip would be hurt and disappointed at the way he has chosen to go about it. It is said the interview bothered him and there is no reason to believe otherwise as that would be entirely understandable. I know you have said before that you don't think Philip would be bothered at all, but I totally disagree and the reports say otherwise.

I doubt he said to himself "I'll pretend I support everything Harry and Meghan are doing and saying throughout this whole debacle since they left the firm just in case someone leaks how I feel and they say nasty things about them when I die". Come off it!

Does anyone think Harry turned on his family because he blames them for the death of his mother.

It was not filmed MONTHS before Philip went into hospital. Meghan looked about 5 months pregnant...

Directly blames them for her death? I doubt it but I think he harbours resentment (understandably) for how she was treated by the institution, the press, and let's face it probably Charles. I have SOME sympathy for Charles because I don't think he wanted any of it - he was always quite clear on who/what he wanted and got there eventually - but he did at the end of the day marry and have children with a woman he probably didn't love, and things didn't end well for her whichever way you slice it.

So in short, "Yes, sort of". But I don't think it's unjustified.

I also don’t think they should have done an interview giving their side of the story after years of constant harassment and false stories being spread about them, how dare they want to speak their truth, they should have continued to suffer in silence

They had left...they were where they wanted to be. It was done for exposure and for spite.

It was done to tell their side of the story, which they are perfectly entitled to do when they have been unfairly represented for so long out of malice

when did we get saddled with this awful phrase

its 'their truth' they weren't cross examined they were given a platform to say whatever they wanted, and a lot of it has already been shot down as untrue, like Megs locked in the Tower with no means of escape

A lot of it has been willfully misinterpreted - there's a difference. I honestly don't understand why anyone would play stupid and pretend not to understand that people don't necessarily mean everything literally though - it's not a convincing argument, it just makes the person saying it look like they're too dumb to read between the lines .

Poor Meghan, having to dance to the royal families tune, forced to stay in the Palace and refused help and not even allowed her passport and keys, making out to the American audiences that she was practically a prisoner.

The Queen and the Duke and all the rest probably thought 'ahh, she isn't doing anything wrong, she's adorable and a right laugh hahaha.'

It is very disingenuous to make such a sweeping generalization,” a source told the Daily Mail. “There was a brilliant team of very experienced and loyal aides to help them. Sadly, she and Harry were willing to listen to no one. And that is the honest truth.”
In fact, Queen Elizabeth II enlisted her most trusted adviser, Samantha Cohen, to help Meghan prepare for her wedding and for royal life, sources told the British tabloid.

Cohen was also responsible for giving the former actress regular tutoring sessions on everything from royal etiquette to diplomatic protocol at Kensington Palace.


Queen Elizabeth II’s most trusted adviser reportedly helped Meghan Markle prepare for royal life with Prince Harry.
“The Queen gave her Sam, her most trusted, her safest set of hands,” the source told the Mail.
“Yet Meghan told Oprah Winfrey that while the Queen had personally been ‘wonderful,’ she hadn’t received any guidance on how to behave as a royal — leaving her forced to Google the national anthem,” the insider added.
In the explosive interview that first aired on CBS Sunday night, Markle claimed she received no support leading up to her wedding and her efforts to blend in with the royal family.

“Unlike what you see in the movies, there’s no class on how to speak, how to cross your legs, how to be royal,” Markle told Winfrey. “There was none of that training that might exist for other members of the family. That was not something that was offered to me.”
Markle also revealed that Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, taught her how to curtsy before meeting Her Majesty the Queen for the first time.
..................................
Meghan was sure enjoying the American audiences lapping all the lies up. I'm sure the Royals were delighted for her and admiring at how well she was carrying it off.

These? I mean I think I've covered quite thoroughly over the many, many weeks of this discussion what I think about the Royal pundits/commentators/reporters/biographers and why I think they are the very definition of a biased and unreliable source. Have I not been clear in that? Well to clarify;

I didn't respond to these posts because I'm not interested in these "Royal writers". It's all irrelevant hearsay and drivel.

there was only one reason they did the interview, to discredit the "firm" and the royal family. If that's not a vindictive action, what is
