Princess Diana would be 'horrified' by Harry and William fallout, Piers Morgan claims

Former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has claimed Princess Diana would have been "horrified" by the fallout between Prince Harry and William.

Piers made the comments during an interview with Tucker Carlson in America on Monday.

And the 56-year-old stood by his word to leave "nothing in the locker" during the chat on Fox Nation.

While he was quick to condemn Meghan Markle 's comments once again, he also brought Harry's late mum into the equation, reports The Mirror.

He told the host: "You know, I knew Princess Diana well and I think she'd be horrified by the split between Harry and his brother.

"I think by the schism now between Harry and the royal family generally, by the appalling smearing of the Queen, which is already causing damage in some of the commonwealth countries who were buying in to this outrageous lie that the Queen is somehow racist, presiding over a racist institution."

Piers claimed that he used to be a fan of the Duke of Sussex and praised him for going to war.

The Life Stories presenter added: "This guy went to war and, you know, my brother-in-law, my sister's husband, taught Harry at the Sandhurst Military Academy and said he was a fine young soldier and a very courageous man."

But he was quick to criticise the man he's become. "What's happened to that guy?," he questioned.

"What's happened to that guy, that he's turned into this whiny brat in his mid-30s complaining his dad isn't still financing everything that he does, complaining he was cut off by daddy and his millions.

"Actually, that wasn't true either. It turns out Prince Charles had carried on financing him. And remember, Harry inherited millions when his mother died."

Piers didn't stop there with his criticism as he took aim at other presenters during the hour-long interview.

He also hit out at his "friend" Don Lemon who accused him of being racist.

He said he was "disgusted" in the comments and added: "I’ve seen Don Lemon at CNN – the guy who sits in my old office, who I thought was a friend – actually say on his show that I’d committed an act of racism.

"But disbelieving someone, that’s an act of racism?"

He also revealed he was "disappointed" in former co-host Susanna Reid for how she reacted following his departure from Good Morning Britain.
