UK broadcaster Piers Morgan has blasted Meghan the Duchess of Sussex as a "bit of a social climber" after claiming she stopped speaking to him soon after meeting her husband, Prince Harry.
In an interview with Channel Nine Australia's Today show, Morgan recalled how he was in frequent contact with the Duchess of Sussex over a two-year period.
Morgan also claimed the Duchess had met up with him at a local pub when she made a stop in London, the same day she met Prince Harry.
"We went to my local pub. I had a couple of pints of real ale, she had a couple of dirty martinis, and we chewed the fat for a couple of hours," he recalled.
"She said afterwards [walking] to the cab, 'I had such a great time', and, 'I'd love to see you again'. Purely platonic, I hasten to add.
"The next night she went out on a date with him (Prince Harry). I never heard from her again. Ever.
"I don't like people who behave like that. It's kind of rude. And it showed me she, I'm afraid, is probably a bit of a social climber. Although, some people really like her and are falling for this act," he said.
Morgan also described the Duchess as a "hard-nosed actress who's been using people" - and wished Prince Harry good luck in his marriage.
"I'm afraid I see a bit of a hard-nosed actress who's been using people on her way up to what is now, of course, the top, which is marrying into the royal family. Good luck to Harry - I hope he knows what he's doing and if it all goes wrong, don't come crying to me. I tried to warn you."
