Piers Morgan says the Royal family messaged him with 'gratitude' after Oprah

Piers Morgan said he has received messages from the Royal family after the Oprah bombshell.

The TV presenter divulged he had received messages of "gratitude" from people speaking on behalf of several members of the Royal family following Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's tell-all Oprah chat.

Coyly, Piers shied away from name dropping which of the Royals had sent their well wishes to the star.

He dropped the latest bombshell in his explosive interview with Extra's Billy Bush.

"I've had some messages communicated to me on behalf on several members of the Royal Family," he said.

Piers said the members of the Royal family were delighted someone was standing up for them.

He added: "I'm not going to go into who it was... but gratitude that somebody was standing up."

Piers has let rip at Harry and Meghan since he stepped down from his TV job on GMB.

Already this week he has appeared on Fox Nation where he claimed Meghan told 17 lies during the Oprah chat which was talked about all over the globe.

Piers sent shockwaves through the showbiz circuit when he quit Good Morning Britain.

His shock exit come hours after he stormed off set following a clash with weatherman Alex Beresford.

Piers sparked outrage across the country when he said he didn't believe a word Meghan had said during the tell-all Oprah interview.

Taking action, the presenter quit after a troubled night of sleep and not wanting to apologise to Meghan Markle for saying he didn't believe a single word of her Oprah chat.

The Duchess of Sussex had taken the time to lodge a complaint herself against the star after one of his explosive rants on GMB.

In his Daily Mail column, he wrote: "Oh s**t. This must be more serious than I thought.

"Mid-afternoon, Kevin Lygo, ITV's Director of Television, who I'd spoken to several times since yesterday, rang to say we were now 'on the cliff edge' and either I apologised, or I would have to leave GMB.

"And even if I did apologise, that wouldn't be the end of it. The woke brigade would keep coming for me, demanding I apologise for everything else they find offensive – which of course, is absolutely everything."

He added: "I called Kevin back, said I wouldn't be apologising, and we agreed I'd leave GMB with immediate effect."

It's said Piers remains at the heart of a 10million bidding war as he has become the most in-demand presenter.
