Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has had a furious row with a guest over Meghan Markle and her portrayal in the media.

Morgan hasn't been shy in voicing his opinion about the Duchess of Sussex and her and Prince Harry's decision to step back from the Royal Family.

The controversial and outspoken host introduced a panel of guests including Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimiu to discuss the ongoing royal family controversy and Meghan Markle's treatment in the press, reports Hull Live.

Sparks quickly began to fly as Piers and Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimiu butted heads.

Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimiu said: "You say these nasty and vile comments, filled with misogyny and you don't take responsibility for your actions, it is not my job to teach you about racism."

Piers said: "Listen to you, I'll tell you what your job is, everyone is cheering you on on Twitter and you like to say it's driven by racism but where is it?" 

Dr Shola said: "If you were paying attention, of course it does exist, her son was compared to a chimpanzee."

"Ok let's move on," Piers' co-host Susanna replied, before the Arsenal fan chipped in with: "I'll decide where we go with this interview."

Dr Shola then furiously condemned Piers, saying: "This is what you get when you refuse to acknowledge racism."

As Piers began to shout over her, she added: "Your words are feeding bigotry, misogyny, sexism and racism out there, and you're not taking responsibility for how you have contributed to the so-called mess or royal crisis."

Shola continued: "As I said before if you were paying attention, it is not my job to teach you about racism. Why do you not know where the racism is?

"If the fact you can’t see it because of your privilege, stop asking me. People have been telling you... of course it does exist."

Piers claimed she was "race baiting" and turning the debate into a "racial divide", before adding he believed Meghan had "ripped Harry away from his family."

In a statement issued by Buckingham Palace today, the Queen said: "Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family.
