Piers Morgan has revealed he got some unlikely support from a former member of the royal family after he was forced to quit Good Morning Britain over his comments about Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The former I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here star, who is a royal biographer, aired her thoughts on the royal saga in a 38-minute video published on YouTube.
