Piers Morgan has come out and said he was right not to believe the claims that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made in their recent Oprah Winfrey interview.

The former Good Morning Britain host, who quit last month, criticised the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as well as the 'woke cancel culture mob'.
Speaking after the Oprah interview, Morgan said he didn't believe a word of what Meghan Markle was saying - particularly when it came to her talking about experiencing racism within the royal family and even her suicidal claims.
Sitting down for a tell all interview with Tucker Carlson on FOX Nation, the 56-year-old said: "What I was witnessing was the most extraordinarily disingenuous smear, hit job, on the Royal family, on the Queen, on the monarchy, and frankly on Britain, my country.
"I went on air on Monday morning with full bells on and said quite clearly that I didn't believe what Meghan Markle was saying. Here we are a month later and frankly, I've had plenty of time to think about this - I still don't believe any of what they were saying.
"Seventeen different claims by the pair of them have now been proven to be either completely untrue, or massively exaggerated, or unprovable. I don't understand why I should have to believe people who are not telling the truth.
On Monday, I said I didn't believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I've had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don't. If you did, OK. Freedom of speech is a hill I'm happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I'm off to spend more time with my opinions. pic.twitter.com/bv6zpz4Roe

He accused the couple of telling 'so many ridiculous whoppers' in their March interview with Winfrey and dismissed claims he was racist for not believing them.
He said the interview was 'tacky, tasteless, disingenuous, and I'm afraid, I believe, in some cases, downright lying on a global scale'.
Then Morgan went on to say that he has had the 'universal support' of the British public, adding: "Old, young, black, white, it didn't matter. They've been coming up to me in their droves all day every day."
"The British people have seen through this," he told the Tucker Carlson Today programme.
As well as touching on the support he's experienced, Piers went on to hit back at the 'woke mob' and urged the public to 'stand up and say 'no''.
