PIERS Morgan has criticised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry once again – this time over their incorrect claims to have married in secret.
Over the weekend, Stephen Borton, a former chief clerk at the Faculty Office, told HOAR: ‘They did not marry three days earlier in front of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
“The Special Licence I helped draw up enabled them to marry at St George’s Chapel in Windsor and what happened there on 19 May 2018 and was seen by millions around the world was the official wedding as recognised by the Church of England and the law.”
Taking to Twitter today to discuss the news, Piers asked followers “do we still have to believe her?” – a clear reference to his departure from Good Morning Britain after refusing to say he believed Meghan’s claims.
It comes as fans begged Piers to return to Good Morning Britain – but it looks like ITV star Ben Shephard is set become the show’s new host.
The 55-year-old star sensationally quit the show rather than apologise for saying he didn’t believe Meghan Markle earlier this month.
His departure has seen the number of people tuning in to ITV’s breakfast news programme tumble – sparking a ratings crisis on the show.
Five petitions begging Piers to return have been set up – the most popular of which has been signed by 154,580 people.
But it appears producers have already decided his replacement after Piers ruled out returning to the show.
His seat on the show will be taken by Ben Shephard after ITV bosses went for the “safest option” according to reports yesterday.
Ben has been chosen to take his place according to the Mail on Sunday saying he represents the “safest option”.
A source told the paper: “ITV and GMB bosses were totally unprepared for Piers going.
“Ben, who is adored by the staff and much of the audience, stepped in and the thought is now that he will work long term. He certainly isn’t like-for-like for Piers, but then who is?”
