Piers is a former gutter journalist, who worked for a number of British tabloids.
I know nothing of his past, other than he's virulently anti-gun and occasionally says something funny.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

He was editor of the News of the World, quite possibly the sleaziest tabloid in Britain, which is really going some. A newspaper that was eventually closed down after the phone hacking scandal. One of the people whose phone was hacked was a murdered schoolgirl.
He wasn't editor at that point, but it gives you an idea.
I wouldn't be too sure whether he's particularly anti-gun. He knew it would get him publicity when he had a show in the US.
Now, he hosts a breakfast TV show in the UK. He's basically a professional cunt - as in, he says lots of controversial things which get him airtime and publicity.
Oh, and Jeremy Clarkson punched him in the face at a party.

@doctor-phibes I hate it when you hold back.

I know! He needs to tell us what he really thinks! Lol.

I truly can't stand the British tabloid press. They're just completely vile.

Andrew's face is priceless.
He probably bribed Meghan - fantastic diversionary tactic!

They'll fit right in.

He got shit-canned by CNN. There are some things even they won't eat.

Admit it, Jon, you'd hit it.
Not going to lie...this made me really laugh out loud.

When you wonder exactly who said what about the skin colour of their children, and bearing in mind Harry said it was not his grandparents, the first thing that came to my mind was that his Aunty Anne can be very blunt.
However I'm watching Piers on the morning ITV show and he's theorising that it could have been Charles or William who might have expressed concern, and that Harry ought to have named the person because now the whole family is to some extent painted with the same brush.
On the second point, the fact is that any royal title was withheld because of skin colour is untrue, whatever Meghan may feel. The rules of the Palace prohibit Archie being a Prince. Any charge of racism on this count is untrue.
-
It's just the narrative they want. The rules of succession and titles have been established for a very long time.
I mean, crying racism works for everyone else, why not them? I'm sure someone made the comment, but I seriously doubt it was in the context of 'well, they'd better not be dark'.

Monarchy's last gasps.
Compared to what her Uncle did this is nothing.
