Piers Morgan blasted a commentator for alleging that racism in the media is the reason that the British people are upset with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, announced last week that they were leaving their official capacities within the royal family to spend time in North America. Many feel that Meghan, who is half black, drove Harry away from his family maliciously. While recapping the situation between the palace and the Sussexes on Good Morning Britain, Morgan, 54, asked Shola Mos-Shogbamimu to point out areas where the press had mistreated Meghan because of her race.
“Where is this racism that you keep talking about? Where are the ghastly tabloids that you say have been driving this racist agenda? I guess the woman, who as far as I was aware because I read all the papers, lauded and welcomed her for the first 18 months as a breath of fresh air, bringing a multiracial aspect, finally, to an all-white royal family,” Morgan explained. “Where is this racism?”
Mos-Shogbamimu, the founder of the Women in Leadership Publication, ripped Morgan for not recognizing his privilege and called his question “obtuse.” She added, “When you ask me where is racism, as I said before, if you were paying attention, it is not my job to teach you about racism.”
Morgan pushed back by claiming it was her job to defend her accusations of racism and maintained that his question was important. He added, “You’re getting a lot of traction online, and everyone is cheering you on because you like to say it’s all driven by racism, but when you’re actually pinned down and asked to cite the racism, where is it?”
Mos-Shogbamimu demanded that Morgan stop asking her to highlight examples of racism and said it’s not her fault that he “can’t see” racism because of his privilege. Morgan responded, “You can’t tell me I can’t see it when it doesn’t exist.”
He added: “You are race-baiting. You are trying to turn the Meghan debate into a racial divide in this country, and you’re accusing the majority of being racist, and it is wrong.”
Queen Elizabeth II announced that the royal family was entering a “period of transition” as the Sussexes sort out their living arrangements and their roles within the family. The announcement from Harry and Meghan blindsided the palace, as the plan was not told to the family before it was announced publicly.
