Piers Morgan has announced that the latest episode of his digital show, The Royals Uncensored, has become the most-viewed in its history. The episode focused on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's scheduled return to the UK.
Posting on X on Tuesday, Morgan shared a link to last week's instalment and wrote: "This latest episode of The Royals Uncensored is the most-viewed in the show's history. Thanks for watching, and congrats to the team!"
Panel and poll results
The episode was hosted by Jo Elvin and featured several panelists, including co-host and royal butler Grant Harold, NBC royal commentator Daisy McCandrew, entertainment and royal reporter Brontë Coy, and royal journalist and author Robert Jobson.
During the programme, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield discussed why the couple failed to make it in America, and the panel recalled the couple's most divisive comments after "Megxit". The show also revealed the results of a poll asking viewers whether they wanted the Sussexes back in the UK.
"On our socials, we asked, 'Do you want Harry and Megan back in the UK?' Look at that figure. 88% said no," Elvin declared, before suggesting that their return would not go down well with Prince William.
Morgan's criticism of the couple
Morgan, a vocal critic of the couple, previously reacted to the news of their return by quipping: "I may have to emigrate to the U.S." He also added: "The one nailed-down certainty about the return of the Sussex circus clowns to Britain is that there will be endless drama, damaging leaks by them to the media about the Royal Family, and simultaneous hypocritical whining about 'privacy invasion' by the same media."
Morgan has claimed he was once a close friend of Meghan, saying they met in a pub before she met Prince Harry. "We had two hours in the pub, she had a couple of dirty martinis and pints - we got on brilliantly," he recalled on the Late Late Show. "Then I put her in a cab, and it turns out it was the cab that took her to a party where she met Prince Harry. The next night, they had a solo dinner, and that was the last I ever heard from Meghan Markle. I never heard from her again - Meghan Markle ghosted me."
In 2021, Morgan famously stormed off Good Morning Britain after co-star Alex Beresford called him out for his efforts to "trash" Meghan on the breakfast programme. Shortly after the segment, ITV announced that Morgan had decided to leave the show for good.
