Gary Lineker had the last word after calling out ‘weird’ Piers Morgan over Meghan Markle
There have been a lot of words written about Meghan Markle in the last week and there’s going to be a lot more written about her this week.
But it sometimes seems – actually, it always seems – no-one’s more obsessed with the Duchess of Sussex quite as much as Piers Morgan, who once had a drink with her in a pub and appears never to have been able to forget it.
It started when Lineker said this.
Families fall out. It’s hard enough without the whole world judging & haranguing you. Yes, the Royal family is a weird concept. A strange job that brings absurd entitlement, but they’re still human beings with foibles and feelings. Meanwhile Australia is on fire and war threatens

So naturally Morgan joined in and it went from there.

The concept of having a Royal family, not the family itself. Twist it anyway you like, Tubs. Once a tabloid editor, always a tabloid editor. 🙄 https://t.co/tdUCWtb5pi

I don’t want to damage your knighthood ambitions, Jugs, but speaking as a former editor (who loves tabloids), you said ‘the Royal family’ not ‘a Royal family’ so your ‘weird’ & ‘absurd’ dig was clearly aimed at THIS Royal family. Unless you want to admit to being illiterate? https://t.co/Lh96fzQGu4

I don’t have any knighthood ambitions. You’re obsession with these two people is most certainly weird. https://t.co/X9mmbsvr9p
