Piers Morgan, like much of the nation, has had his eyes glued to the Harry and Meghan Netflix documentary, in which the couple say they are telling their story, which includes experiences of racism and emotional agony "behind closed doors" as members of the Royal Family.

However, the furious 57-year-old commentator was astonished to hear another claim made by Harry - that his wife no longer "has a father"."Wow.Shocking thing for Harry to say about Thomas Markle, the man he has never met," Piers exclaimed."She does have a father, and he brought her up on his own for years.

Where is that in the documentary? #HarryandMeghanNetflix"It is believed that Thomas Markle would have walked Meghan down the aisle on her wedding day, but following the pair's rift, and his heart attack, he wasn't present.Harry has now revealed in explosive scenes from the documentary that he blames himself for the damage in their relationship."She had a father before this, and now she doesn’t have a father," he lamented."I shouldered that, because if Meg wasn’t with me, then her dad would still be her dad.”They also released a text message the Markle patriarch apparently sent to Harry expressing his hurt after he was asked to give him a call back.“I know nothing about [missed] phone calls I’m sorry my heart attack is there any inconvenience for you?" he questioned.He then added: “If only I had died, then you guys could pretend to be sad."Yet Piers has taken issue with the suggestion that she doesn't have a father, particularly as he is still recovering from a stroke that he suffered in May.He added in another tweet: "Markle now trashing her own father, who is still recovering from a massive stroke.
