Piers Morgan has dismissed Meghan Markle's claims that the then-unborn Prince Archie had been subjected to racism from members of The Royal Family.
The Duchess of Sussex sensationally claimed during a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey that an unnamed member of the family had commented on the colour of his skin.
Following the allegations, Prince William in an unexpected move told news reporters that the House of Windsor were "very much not a racist family".
However, Meghan, 41, and Harry, 38, failed to disclose which member of the family had made the comments and said they would never reveal their identity – causing mass speculation.

Piers fumed: "This is what Meghan Markle was struggling to remember in her Oprah whine-athon that she claimed the only reason Archie hadn't been made a prince was because of his skin colour.

Reflecting on her bombshell allegations during her Oprah interview, he added: "There was no racism," before the BBC's former Royal Correspondent Micheal Cole added: "No, none at all and that was quite shameful at the time."
"It was a complete lie!" exclaimed a frustrated Piers.
Meghan was left blindsided by the alleged comments (NBC)During the chat, Oprah asked Meghan: "You certainly must have had some conversations with Harry about it and have your own suspicions as to why they didn’t want to make Archie a prince. What are... What are those thoughts? Why do you think that is? Do you think it's because of his race?"
The former Suits actress signed before Oprah proved: "And I know that's a loaded question but..."
"But I can give you an honest answer. In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time," said Meghan before continuing: "We have in tandem the conversation of 'he won't be given security, he's not going to be given a title' and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born."
Meghan later told the host that the conversation was between Harry and a relative of his about "what that would mean or look like" about Archie's skin colour.
"It was really hard to be able to see those as compartmentalised conversations," she went on to add.
