Suffice to say the release of Meghan Markle’s podcast was always going to peeve Piers Morgan off. And of course, he reacted just the way the world expected.
During an interview with tennis ace, Serena Williams, in the first official episode of Meghan Markle’s long-awaited Spotify podcast, Archetypes, which was released on Tuesday, Meghan revealed her traumatic experience of having to continue with official engagements after a fire in the nursery during the first day of her royal tour in South Africa with Prince Harry and her then four-month-old son.

To which the controversial Uncensored journalist reacted with a tweet slamming her experience and expressing his disdain:
He wasn’t even in the room & nobody was harmed. Can you imagine the Queen whining about having to an an engagement in this circumstance? Markle’s victimhood knows no bounds, nor does her thirst to trash the royals whilst making $$$ from them.
It’s shameless & pathetic. https://t.co/Gu8dWatmjZ— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 23, 2022
You might be asking ‘is that what Piers Morgan got so riled up about?’ Yes, but that’s not all.
Two of the topics discussed between Serena and Meghan in the first podcast episode entitled The Misconception of Ambition with Serena Williams, were the challenges and struggles felt of being a new mother as well as the double standards women face when being labelled ‘ambitious’.
It’s the latter that initially stirred up her longtime critic.
As a response to a tweet which quoted a comment made by Meghan Markle in her podcast about her experience with the negative concept of ambition since marrying prince Harry, the former Good Morning Britain presenter wrote:
?? It’s not your ambition we dislike, Princess Pinocchio – it’s the vile way you trash the Royal Family whilst simultaneously exploiting your royal status for millions of dollars as with this podcast. https://t.co/53vVjo49zI

As reported by The South African, it’s not the first – and most likely not the last – time that Morgan has shaded Meghan for her comments. He has long had issues with Meghan, Prince Harry and their relationship – or lack thereof – with the rest of the royal family.
His controversial critique of the couple’s 2021 bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey triggered a widespread backlash, causing him to forfeit his job hosting Good Morning Britain.
He once again landed in hot water after claiming that Meghan’s comments about being “suicidal” were “lies”.
Remember just a moment ago when we said it’s “most likely not the last” time he threw shade at Meghan?
The International News reports that his latest jab follows a tweet by activist and author Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu calling his critique of Meghan “unhinged” and “racially motivated bigoted hate gaslit as ‘difference of opinion’.”
Morgan rebutted while simultaneously using his response as an opportunity to reiterate his disdain:
This is a typically disgusting & defamatory tweet from Britain’s most disgusting race-baiter. My views of Ms Markle have nothing to do with her skin colour, and everything to do with the way she trashes the Royal Family whilst fleecing her royal status for massive financial gain. https://t.co/sTxwNFMHrM
