Piers Morgan has claimed he is the reason why Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie have allegedly had a falling out.
Piers, who has been heavily critical of Prince Harry and wife, Meghan Markle in the past - so much so that he left Good Morning Britain following a slew of Ofcom complaints after comments he made about Meghan on air - has claimed responsibility for the reported tension.
In the past, Piers has made his feelings on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex known, and slammed their Oprah Winfrey interview on Good Morning Britain back in 2021.
In comments made on air, Piers said he 'didn't believe a word' of what Meghan had said, causing a clash with weather presenter Alex Beresford who called Piers out for 'continuing to trash' Meghan.

Piers walked out after the dramatic moment, before returning 10 minutes later.
An ITV spokesperson said at the time: "Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain. ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add."
Speaking to journalist Maureen Callahan on his Uncensored show recently, Morgan said: “He has zero relationship with his friends and his family," to which Callahan spoke about a report in The Sun which claimed there was an alleged rift between the cousins.
“Well, that was because of me actually — the Eugenie thing — because she was with me and a group of other people in a pub in London,” said Piers.
“I was seen hugging them goodbye, and Harry saw this and went completely ballistic. And I can confirm — breaking news — that this is entirely true.”
Both Eugenie and her sister, Princess Beatrice, were seen leaving The Princess Royal pub in Notting Hill after a lunch with Piers and James Blunt in 2023.
It's reported that prior to the meeting, Eugenie and Harry maintained a close bond, with Eugenie reportedly being one of the only relatives to visit the Sussexes after they moved to California.
“A dim view was taken of this, as Piers has clashed with Meghan and Harry in the past," a source told The Sun.
“Eugenie has been supportive of Harry and Meghan for years and was right there at the beginning of their relationship — but it has now soured.”
