‘I’m Sickened' Piers & Susanna Clash Over Prince Harry & Meghan Interview | Good Morning Britain

i'm angry to the point of balling over today i'm sickened by what i've just had to watch okay no you could come to you might be upset sorry you can come you can i'm just going to say what i'm going to say okay this is a two-hour trash-a-thon of our royal family of the monarchy of everything the queen has worked so hard for and it's all been done as prince philip lies in hospital they trash everybody they basically make out the entire royal family a bunch of white supremacists by dropping this race bombshell without that phrase they didn't name any they didn't name which one it was and just throw it out there so it could be any member of the royal family and harry says i'll never say who it was well you better say it fast what's the part of the interview that you're referring to the bit where they accuse uh the uh um they remember the royal family this is the race bombshell that megan drops harry then talks about let's watch it's odd though because you were comfortable about sharing everything else in that interview but you're prepared to let that bombshell just lie completely unanswered so that we now have to think it could be any one of the royal family that was apparently racist about the skin color of your of your child i just don't think that's acceptable they trash kate she's taken down she apparently made poor megan cry well she trashes her yeah you know what uh we're going to bring in christian chris i i got to say i watched this interview a with my jaw dropping like everybody else but b with mounting anger mainly because i could see the way it is already playing in america and around the world this is a caricature portrait of our monarchy and royal family which i think is contemptible i've got to be honest with you okay can i you've said that you wanted your say and we've let you had yourself can i just have my say as well on this they have dropped bombshells no doubt about it they have described what they said was an almost unsurvivable experience they have both said that they felt controlled within the royal family that they felt trapped that they felt at risk that their security was removed race obviously they claimed played a part in that and they made very serious accusations as pierce says um but megan has within this interview said it got so bad that she was suicidal and i think a lot of people will feel extremely concerned about that okay again let's have the names who did you go to what did they say to you right i'm sorry i don't believe a word she says meghan markle i wouldn't believe it if she read me a weather report and the fact that she's fired up expressed this onslaught against our royal family i think is contemptible chris you're the impartial royal right okay editor it's a shame you're not sitting between us frankly i think i should you want to swap now um listen when i when i put my keyboard down as it were at three o'clock this morning after i'd stopped watching it live i i was kind of paralyzed in my seat for a little bit there was a lot to take in i mean that's an understatement isn't it i mean someone saying that they had suicidal thoughts i don't think you can say that she was lying at that point she had these thoughts pretty serious ones she took them to hr now look we talked last week about buckingham palace's hr department what did they do about the victims when this bullying complaint against meghan was put in i don't think buckingham palace's hr her camera refused very well on that point chris her camp immediately said they can't be believed those victims can't be believed and yet we're supposed to believe everything meghan markle now says about her own terrible ordeal of bullying and racism and all the rest of it you can't have it both ways we're not allowed to believe the apparent victims of her own bullying but we have to believe everything she says well let's take all of these claims and accusations seriously um there is this claim that she felt suicidal and i just don't think you can brush over that and say and not take it seriously for whatever reason she was very she felt very vulnerable and it seems that uh when she asked for help it was the response was we can't do that because that wouldn't look good well not only that it wouldn't look good but they said to her according to megan that we can't help you with your suicidal thoughts we can see that you're suffering but the reason we can't help you is because you're not a paid member of the royal family in other words if you were a footman or someone in the kitchens we could do something about it because you're a member of the family or the wife of prince harry we couldn't which i thought was quite extraordinary why don't those systems exist because you know royal family members are only human and if she's reached that level of stress that she's thinking about taking her own life where are the systems to look after them what's in place and basically she said there was nothing at all and then we have uh the accusations against the royal family and particularly this claim of a conversation that harry had with an unnamed member of the royal family about the skin color of their children now that is going to be devastating it's incendiary that claim is going to be devastating yes in the way it's been depicted in that interview yes we don't know the context of that kind of according to megan but also we don't know it definitely happened i'm not taking anything they said at face value right i think it's completely self-serving so let's make it a claim in the same way that everything about them is negative they portray as nonsense tabloid rumor mill and acclaim so let's play the same game with them right fair enough though it's come from their mouth i mean you know they're making plays in the table it doesn't make it true what they're saying does it no but we have to take seriously what is said in this interview in the same way as we take stories about allegations only last week susannah we were told we couldn't by her lawyers we couldn't take seriously the very serious claims of the bullying by so we take everything they say seriously but any claims against her or him we're not allowed to take seriously except we do take those claims yes we did we discussed them on the program their legal team last week said we weren't allowed to take seriously claims to bullying them we're journalists we do things differently we take everything seriously thanks for the lecture on journalism and interrogate everything yeah so let's see if you had one of the victims of bullying in here right now would you tell them that they were lying about their bullying claims no we would take their claims seriously she was saying that not only did she have this mental health crisis that led her to suicide but also that a com it was a conversation that harry had with his family members i should be clear here i've been told it's not the queen and not the duke of edinburgh how do we know it only leaves that only leaves two family members how do you know that because that's what i've been talking but how does that my job is to find out things that's what i do and i'm not going to share my sources with you so now now we're left with who uh charles i was about to explain that so the two people that you're left with is either his father prince charles or his brother prince william or their wives i mean that's pretty serious that's kind of where it's left they protected the queen the thing is they protected the queen throughout this by saying the queen did nice we have they have an amazing relationship with her equally they are criticizing the institution of which she is head they're trashing everything criticizing his grandmother the queen and they're saying that charles and william are trapped that they have no wish to be king presumably they're trapped in this terrible institution an institution the queen has worked so dutifully and worked so hard to maintain and preserve the damage to the monarchy here should not be underestimated i've been watching the reaction in america since this this came out that race allegation in particular i think this is going to be used as an incredibly damaging stick against the royal it already was last week i mean i was watching uh their equivalent of loose women is called the view in america they'd already formed their view on that program last week even just from the couple that we had all of mega markle and and was saying that the royal family has a lot to answer for you
