Meghan Markle is ‘a bit of a social climber,’ says Piers Morgan: ‘Good luck to Harry’
The British broadcaster appeared Thursday on Australia’s “Today” show, where he slammed the Duchess of Sussex and labeled her a “social climber.”
When journalist Deborah Knight asked the 53-year-old if the former American actress “is really fake and a piece of work” as he’s called her before, Morgan immediately quipped, “You know what I’m sorry to have to say I’m afraid I think she is.”
“Although some people really like her and are falling for this act I’m afraid I see a bit of hard-nosed actress,” he explained. “She’s been using people on her way up to what is now, of course, the top, which is marrying into the royal family.”

Morgan alleged he and the former “Suits” star, 37, were friends back in 2016 before she married Britain’s Prince Harry in May 2018 and officially became a member of the royal family.
“I had a couple of pints of real ale and she had dirty martinis,” he claimed. “She said afterward in the cab, ‘I had a great time. Love to see you again.’ It was purely platonic I hasten to add. She went in that cab that night to a party Prince Harry was at and the next night she went on the date with him. I never heard from her again. Ever. I don’t like people that behave like that. It’s kind of rude. It showed me that she, I’m afraid, is probably a bit of a social climber.”
Morgan alleged he “got to know her quite well” over the two-year period, insisting they “would message each other a lot, email a lot.”
But Morgan shared he was unimpressed with the way the 37-year-old treated him after she began dating Harry, 34, immediately disappearing.
“Good luck to Harry,” said Morgan. “I hope he knows what he’s doing. If it all goes wrong don’t come crying to me. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Rob Lowe jokes that he made his sex tape too early: ‘It would have helped my career’
Rob Lowe has come a long way since a sex tape scandal in the 1980s nearly ruined his then-blossoming acting career. However, looking back now the star says he doesn’t regret the tape as much as he does its timing.
For those unfamiliar, Lowe was the subject of a major scandal in 1988 when he filmed himself having sex with a woman who turned out to be underage the night before promoting Michael Dukakis at the Democratic National Convention. He settled a lawsuit with the girl’s family, was never charged with a crime and maintained that he wasn’t aware she was underage given that they met in a nightclub. However, the rumors and innuendo marred his career at a time when his star should have been on the rise thanks to “St. Elmo’s Fire.”
Speaking on the “WTF Podcast with Marc Maron” recently, the now 55-year-old star opened up about the scandal and joked that it would have helped him later in life.

“The real f— up was that I didn’t wait 20 years later to do it where it would have helped my career,” he said, joking that he could have capitalized on the trends of celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, who parlayed leaked sex tapes into successful show business careers.
Despite being able to joke about it now, Lowe notes that the backlash was a very negative presence in his life at the time.
“It’s 30 years ago, so it’s hard for me to remember a lot of it. But, my notion of it was all like… happening so fast, and that it was just sort of putting one foot in front of the other.”
“It ends up being the greatest thing that ever happened to me,” he said of his sex tape. “Because what it ends up doing is accelerating my alcohol [addiction] to where I finally get sober. I have been able to have the rest of my life that I’m so blessed with, which is now 20 years of sobriety.”
