Piers Morgan said he was “very troubled” by Gayle King’s comments on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s car chase incident in an op-ed for the New York Post.
In the Monday piece, headlined, “I’m very troubled by Gullible Gayle buying Harry and Meghan’s fables,” Morgan noted a comment King made to “Page Six” about the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s car incident.
“I think it was a very unfortunate incident,” King told Page Six on Saturday. “It’s troubling to me that anybody would try to downplay what that would mean to them. That’s very troubling to me.”
Morgan argued that despite being a “serious” journalist who was used to “reporting on extremely serious issues,” King was diminishing her credibility by standing behind “such disingenuous claptrap.”
The NYPD told Fox News Digital that the photographers made Harry and Markle’s transport “challenging,” but that they had safely arrived at their destination.
“There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging,” Julian Phillips, NYPD’s deputy commissioner of public information said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests in regard.”
