Meghan Markle will reportedly fight back with ‘aggressive legal team’ against Piers Morgan
Meghan Markle “will fight back” against Piers Morgan’s slurs, a royal biographer has claimed.
Angela Levin says the Duchess of Sussex will hit back after Piers Morgan granted and hour-long Fox News interview with Tucker Carlson.
During the interview, Piers Morgan claimed Meghan and Harry lied or exaggerated 17 times during their interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Piers demanded Meghan reveal who specifically rejected her pleas for help when she was suicidal.
He also accused Harry and Meghan of “complete hypocrisy” with the interview and insisted he has the “universal support” of the British public.
Piers departed his role as host of Good Morning Britain after Meghan Markle’s representatives reportedly filed a complaint to his bosses at ITV to complain following Piers’ remarks about Meghan’s mental health.
Over 41,000 people also wrote to media regulator, OfCom, to complain about Piers Morgan after he commented on Meghan’s mental health.
In Piers’ Fox News interview, he told the American news personality he stood by his comments, blasting the couple for the “most extraordinarily disingenuous smear, hit job”.
He insisted he was right not to believe the Duchess of Sussex in her Oprah interview, alleging that 17 of her claims in the chat have proved incorrect.
Now, Ms Levin, author of Harry: Conversations with the Prince, says Piers could have a lawsuit on his hands soon as she believes Meghan “will fight back.”
She told Talk Radio: “I think it’s a bit like a verbal boxing match.
“Each of them runs around and the other one comes back and is more spiteful or more difficult and says more things.
“They have one thing in common and that is neither of them like to lose out.
“So they’ll carry on bashing away, and I imagine she has lawyers working out a sentence or verb or something that Piers said that they could jump on.
“She’s a very determined woman, heavily pregnant or not she will want to fight back.”
Ms Levin continued: “A lot of what Piers said we already knew in this country. He worked out that there were 17 lies or exaggerations and that’s really true.
“She’s got a very very aggressive legal team and I always think it’s amazing what these lawyers can come up with.
“I think Piers is a brave man but let’s wait and see.
“I think she’ll come up with something, or they will come up with something, really extraordinarily unusual but which they will try to take the better of him.”
Earlier this year, Meghan Markle, 39, won a court battle against Mail on Sunday publisher, Associated Newspapers Ltd.
