Meghan Markle gets back at Piers Morgan with savage gift to his rival
The Duchess of Sussex has made sure to get back at Piers Morgan for years of abusive comments thrown her way as she surprised his rival Alex Beresford with lavish gifts
Meghan Markle has proved where her loyalties lie as she got back at Piers Morgan thanks to a savage gift. The Duchess of Sussex has found herself at the centre of Piers' world for years as she's been the subject of many claims from the broadcaster.
The controversial TV presenter is known to slam the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and even sensationally quit Good Morning Britain after ranting about the former actress in 2021. Last month, Piers was quick to watch a few moments of Meghan's new Netflix show before slamming her.
He branded the series 'unwatchable' after watching only a few minutes of it. Piers said: "I tried watching it, and after, honestly, about three, four minutes, I was done. It was just unwatchable. It's just the ultimate kind of vanity project, where it's all about people telling Meghan how great she is, her telling everyone how great she is.
"It's not even her house. She's doing things like making coffee, making a basic cake. There's nothing to actually learn here. And it's interesting to me that in Britain, they're incredibly unpopular, her and Harry. I mean the most unpopular Royals, which, when you think we have Prince Andrew, is pretty extraordinary to go under that bar."
In the show, Meghan introduced her new range of products and made sure to send Piers' rival a present in an effort to make a very clear dig at the broadcaster.
Good Morning Britain's Alex Beresford shared a snap on his Instagram of a jar of Meghan's raspberry spread. He declared: "Can't wait to try this! Thank you so much @meghan..."
Meghan even went a step further and sent a large Jelly Cat octopus teddy bear to Alex's newborn daughter as he gushed: "...And for Camille's sweet gift."
Piers lost his job on the ITV morning show after clashing with Alex over Meghan. He dramatically left the show back in 2021 after receiving 41,000 Ofcom complaints over his comments about Meghan.
Speaking about the Duchess of Sussex's Oprah Winfrey interview in which she opened up about her mental health struggles, Piers said that he "didn't believe a word" of her admission.
He also took issue with Meghan's claims that there were "concerns and conversations" over how dark Prince Archie's skin colour would be, before he was born.
Piers was confronted by weather presenter Alex over his comments the following day, with Piers storming off set after their heated conversation. Alex said: "I understand that you don't like Meghan Markle [Piers] - you've made it so clear a number of times on this programme, a number of times. I understand you've got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle or had one, and she cut you off.
"She's entitled to cut you off if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don't think she has, but yet you continue to trash her."
Taking issue with this criticism, Piers butted in, announcing: "OK, I'm done with this" as he strode off set, barking: "You can trash me mate, but not while I'm [inaudible]." He announced his sudden exit from GMB shortly after.

Maniac killed and dismembered 19-year-old college student on their first date
A Wisconsin man killed and dismembered a 19-year-old college student on their first date after watching a Netflix show that depicted an eerily similar mutilation. Maxwell Anderson was convicted of homicide and dismembering a corpse for the horrific killing of Sade Robinson on April 1, 2024 - just days after the two met at a bar. The pair had spent the late afternoon and early evening of the fateful date at two bars before going back to Anderson's apartment. At one point, Anderson turned on the Netflix series "Love, Death & Robots." The finale of Season 2 is an episode called 'The Drowned Giant' which shows a gruesome dismantling of a human body on a beach. Prosecutors in the case claimed that Anderson mutilated Robinson's body on a Wisconsin beach overlooking Lake Michigan. 'I was like... that's disgusting because that could have been where he got some of his ideas or fantasies,' juror Melissa Blascoe told the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinal. 'I physically felt like I was gonna throw up at that point. I know a lot of people were shaking and crying.' Anderson was also charged with arson and hiding a corpse in connection with her death. He was found guilty on all counts. Investigators said that Anderson is believed to have spread her remains around Milwaukee County and burned her car to hide evidence. Anderson and Robinson had met at a bar a week before she disappeared, Assistant District Attorney Ian Vance-Curzan said. Disturbing images showed Robinson being groped by Anderson while she lay face down on his couch, and prosecutors said she was far too incapacitated to have resisted. Surveillance video showed Robinson's car leaving the apartment in the early hours of April 2 before arriving at a county park along Lake Michigan shores. The young student's disappearance sparked concern when she didn't appear for work the next day. Her manager, Justin Romano, told CNN that Robinson was 'very outgoing, she would talk to everybody here. She was always there to lighten the mood.' Romano said her not showing up for work 'wasn't like her at all,' and added: 'We kind of knew something was up; we had been calling her all day.' Anderson is believed to have dismembered her body into pieces and burned her car behind an abandoned building before taking a bus back to his apartment, Vance-Curzan said. Within the car, despite 'extreme fire damage,' investigator's identified the outfit Robinson had been wearing on the night of the date as well as part of an iPhone consistent with hers burned in the car, CNN reported. Police then were called to Warnimont Park where a human leg, that appeared to have been 'sawn off' at the hip, was discovered. The leg was then identified as Robinson's. A 'confidential informant' claimed that Anderson had planned to kill Robinson weeks prior to her death, Fox News reported. Anderson's attorney, Tony Cotton, argued, however, that the prosecution showed no evidence of Anderson's intention to kill Robinson. Cotton also pointed out he made no attempt to conceal himself on public transport home, and was wearing clean clothes despite having allegedly cut up her body in a muddy park. Jurors reached their verdict within an hour on the ninth day of trial. 'While we are satisfied with this verdict, our hearts go out to the family of Sade Robinson,' Vane-Curzan said, Fox News reported. Milwaukee County Sheriff's Det. JoAnn Donner spent months working on the case and said: 'My heart goes out to the family and [Robinson's] friends and really, the community at large. 'It's everyone's come together, and it's really hard to take that step back as a law enforcement officer and not get that really emotionally involved during the case,' she continued. 'I will admit that I did go back to my office after the verdict, and I had a good cry because I finally got to have that emotion. It does affect us too.' Robinson's mother, Sheena Scarbrough, said in a GoFundMe for her daughter's memorial service that Robinson was a 'loving daughter, a cherished sister, and a dear friend to many.' 'The pain of losing Sade has left a void in the hearts of her family, especially her grieving mother and little sister, along with other relatives, friends and the entire community who loved and supported her,' the fundraiser said. Anderson is set for sentencing on August 15, where he faces a mandatory life sentence in prison.
