Piers Morgan accused of 'constantly bashing' Harry and Meghan by annoyed Susanna Reid

Piers Morgan was accused of 'constantly bashing' Meghan Markle and Prince Harry by Susanna Reid after they discussed the couples big Oprah interview on Good Morning Britain.

Following the Prince's chat with James Corden, a first clip of Oprah With Meghan And Harry: A CBS Primetime Special, has now been released, and the world awaits to see how the whole interview will pan out.

Prince Harry told Oprah he has concerns that his story will mirror his late mothers fate.

He said:: "My biggest concern was history repeating itself. For me, I'm just really relieved and happy to be sitting here, talking to you with my wife by my side."

Piers who was scathing about the chat said: "They use their royal titles to make themselves astonishingly rich, whilst doing none of the royal duty that the other members of the Royal Family have to do. That's my real argument about these two."

Susanna told him: "But that is in the gift of The Queen isn't it? Whether they have any sort of Royal connection title."

Piers then responded: "Well actually no; if they genuinely wanted freedom they'd give up the titles and just exist as Meghan and Harry.

"I'm sure they'd do very well. It's the jarring fact that they don't do royal duties and want to be called by their royal titles to make all the money that is the number one problem.

"And I think we've really got to move past the 'they want to be left alone' - you still get one in three going 'leave them alone, leave them alone.'

Prince Harry found himself on the receiving end of Piers Morgan's ire (CBS)

"They don't want to be left alone obviously. They wouldn't be giving big interviews if they wanted to be left alone."

Susanna responded: "They don't want a needling, nasty criticism do they? God forbid, oh my goodness, anyone might like to have a nice life where you're not constantly bashed all the time."

Piers hit back: "Oh, well we'd all like that wouldn't we?" and Susanna cried out: "YES!"

After Piers argued that they were 'not constantly bashed all the time' and that 'that's what public figure get', Susanna replied: "Well they're constantly bashed by people like you!" You wouldn't like it if it was relentlessly nasty.

"It would be toxic and affect your mental health."
