Piers Morgan divides fans with 'reminder' dig at Meghan Markle as kids gain royal titles

Piers Morgan, 57, spoke out to shame Meghan Markle, 40, after it emerged that the two children she shares with Prince Harry, Archie and Lilibet, will now become His and Her Royal Highness.The broadcaster spoke out to remind the world that she had claimed on her interview with Oprah Winfrey that her children had been barred from receiving royal titles, although his frank commentary was blasted by some as crass and insensitive."REMINDER: Princess Pinocchio told the world on Oprah that her son was barred from being a Prince because of his skin colour," Piers exclaimed to his almost eight million followers.However @dave43law then hit back with his own retort, swiping: "Reminder - her husband has just lost his grandmother - today is a day to shove the one dimensional view you hold somewhere the sun don't shine!"Archie and Lilibet were not immediately entitled to royal titles, due to their relatively distant status as the Queen's great grandchildren.However King Charles III has been crowned following her death, and Meghan's children will both now be granted "Royal Highness" titles and be Prince and Princess.This is due to rules set out by George V in 1917, declaring that the grandchildren of an existing monarch have the right to titles.Yet Meghan claimed during her Oprah Winfrey interview that it was racism preventing them from gaining regal status.She claimed that an unnamed mystery member of the Royal Family had "concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he was born", something which was then relayed to her by Harry.Meghan then added that "conversations" took place while she was pregnant with son Archie about possibly changing the convention when Charles reached the throne, so that she was no longer.
