The former Good Morning Britain TV host and Dailymail.com's editor-at-large sat down Monday, for his own tell-all with Fox Nation host Tucker Carson. Morgan quit his job after he refused to apologize for his harsh criticism of the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following their bombshell Oprah interview.
The bombastic former ITV host set off a social media firestorm the day after the Oprah Winfrey interview on March 7 when he said he "didn't believe a word" of what Meghan said, after she leveled accusations of racism at the Royal Family and said she was not offered help with her suicidal thoughts when she was pregnant with son Archie.
Speaking to Oprah, Meghan alleged that someone in "The Firm" expressed "concerns" about "how dark" Archie's skin would be before he was born because she is mixed-race and Prince Harry is white.
Appearing on Tucker Carlson Today, Morgan doubled down on his harsh criticism of the royal couple. He told Carlson that the couple were "smearing" the Royal family and the Queen, pointing out that the only member of the family who has been forced to apologize for racism is Harry.
The former ITV host said he was right not to believe "delusional duchess" Meghan and Harry in the Oprah interview. "What I was witnessing was the most extraordinarily disingenuous smear, hit job, on the Royal family, on the Queen, on the monarchy, and frankly on Britain, my country," he said of the first time he watched the interview. "I went on air on Monday morning with full bells on and said quite clearly that I didn't believe what Meghan Markle was saying. Here we are a month later and frankly, I've had plenty of time to think about this - I still don't believe any of what they were saying. Seventeen different claims by the pair of them have now been proven to be either completely untrue, or massively exaggerated, or unprovable. I don't understand why I should have to believe people who are not telling the truth."
Morgan also charged that Meghan is leading a "woke mob" that branded him a racist for sharing his skepticism and demanded that people and businesses stop allowing cancel culture to infringe on free speech.
"It was Meghan's way and Meghan's truth," the Daily Mail Editor-at-large said. "I was under attack from Ms Markle to confirm to her version of events and I had to believe her and if I didn't I was a racist who should be condemned. I should be allowed to say: 'I don't believe you.' It's not really about Meghan Markle - she's a delusional duchess who wants to make millions off the royals while trashing family. It's really about free speech. What happened to me is happening all over Britain and America - I can take it, but there are many people who don't have our platform who are being wiped out, lives destroyed, careers ended over the most ridiculous things."
Morgan revealed that Meghan called up his then boss at ITV and United Kingdom's TV regulators at Ofcom to complain about his comments following the Oprah interview.
He also noted how both he and his friend Sharon Osbourne, who defended Morgan for voicing his opinions, had been forced from their jobs. Osbourne left daytime chat show The Talk on March 26, after a heated row on March 10 when she defended his right to air his views.
"If you're going to accuse people of racism - and I have a real vested interest in this debate, because I have been accused of racism simply for disbelieving Meghan Markle, who we now know was not telling the truth throughout that interview," Morgan said. "I feel very angry about that, and very aggrieved about that. And I have seen friends of mine, like Sharon Osborne, being removed from their job for defending me, because apparently they were defending a racist."
The former CNN host also slammed his ex colleague Don Lemon. "I have seen Don Lemon at CNN, the guy who sits in my old office, who I thought was a friend, actually say on his show that I had committed an act of racism by disbelieving somebody," he said. "That's an act of racism?"
