Piers Morgan couldn't resist making a jibe at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after the Duke of Sussex was forced to slam claims of bullying and harassment. Sentebale chairwoman Dr Sophie Chandauka accused Harry, 40, of "harassment and bullying at scale" following his shock departure from the charity last month. Harry has since hit out at “blatant lies” about Sentebale and said he hoped the Charity Commission would uncover “the truth” after a case was opened into the concerns raised.

Piers, 60, shared an image of the Duke's statement, branding it "comically ironic" as he compared it to previous allegations Meghan, 43, has made against the royal family. Taking to X, he wrote: "BREAKING: Prince Harry calls a black woman who made allegations of racism & harassment against a member of the Royal Family, a liar."

"How comically ironic…," the presenter declared, adding: "I wonder if Meghan will now write to him demanding he apologise for disbelieving the accuser’s 'truth'..."

Back in 2022, Harry and Meghan reportedly demanded an apology from Buckingham Palace in the wake of their controversial Netflix series. It is believed the couple were holding out for the Palace to apologise before they considered attending King Charles's coronation the following year.

During the series, Harry and Meghan repeated accusations of racism against the Royal Family. Harry claimed there was an "unconscious [racist] bias" in the Windsor family, which prevented them from understanding why Meghan was in a particularly vulnerable position, especially with regard to the media.

During their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, the former Suits actress also claimed there were "concerns and conversations" about how dark their son's skin would be before he was born.

Now, Harry has now found himself at the centre of racism allegations as Dr Chandauka accused the Sentebale board of bullying, harassment, misogyny – a form of prejudice directed at black women.

The Duke of Sussex founded Sentebale in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to tackle poverty and AIDs in Africa. It was set up in honour of his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. But a dispute over whether the charity should focus on fundraising in Africa led to several trustees demanding the resignation of Dr Chandauka.

When she sued the charity in a bid to remain in post, they quit themselves in protest – with the Duke and Prince Seeiso backing the trustees and resigning as patrons.
