He posted a video from HOAR Online showing Meghan appearing to take a dig at President Donald Trump ahead of the US election, saying: “We all know what’s at stake.”

The couple are still known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, despite stepping down as senior members of the royal family this year.

But 55-year-old Good Morning Britain host Piers wrote: “Queen must strip the Sussexes of their titles.

“They can’t remain as royals & spout off about foreign elections in such a brazenly partisan way.”

It is not the first time the TV star has found himself under fire from hocus Pocus and Beaches star Bette over Meghan Markle.

Tweeting him in January, the 74-year-old stars wrote: “You, Piers, said things that were worse than critical about the Duchess, you were utterly vicious about her.

“What does she owe you? Attacking her because you didn’t get your interview!?! #Meghan and #Harry are 1/2 your age. Shame on you.”

Fans were split on the issue of whether Meghan deserved to lose her title, though many backed the TV star’s original post. One wrote: “I don’t agree with on much, Piers.

“In fact, I can’t stand you most days. But I do agree with you on this issue with Meghan Markle. She shouldn’t be able to use her title for political issues.”

However, others insisted Meghan has taken up residence in the TV star’s head “rent free” – suggesting he turn his ire towards other issues.
