PIERS Morgan has made a fresh dig at Meghan Markle after her claim that the couple tied the knot three days before their wedding was blown apart.
The 55-year-old took to Twitter to blast the Duchess of Sussex after their wedding certificate showed they were legally married on 19 May, 2018, at Windsor Castle.
It comes after The Sun exclusively revealed the couple did NOT marry three days before the official ceremony, as Meghan suggested in her Oprah interview.
Their wedding certificate was handed over by the General Register Office, with one official dubbing the Duchess “obviously confused” over the date of her marriage.
Piers, who quit Good Morning Britain earlier this month after clashing live on air with weatherman Alex Beresford over Meghan’s CBS interview, chimed in on the debate.
“Do we still have to believe her?” he wrote on Twitter, reposting a headline that detailed blowing apart “Harry and Meghan’s claims that they wed in secret”.
In a bombshell TV chat Meghan told Oprah Winfrey she and Harry tied the knot “in their backyard” three days before the lavish public wedding.
Meghan, 39, told the US talk show queen: “You know, three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that.
“The vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury.”
She said she and Harry phoned the Archbishop, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, and asked him to marry them in private at Nottingham Cottage — their home in the grounds of Kensington Palace.
Last night, as their wedding certificate came to light for the first time — registry office official Stephen Borton dismissed the claim.
Mr Borton, former chief clerk at the Faculty Office, told The Sun: “I’m sorry, but Meghan is obviously confused and clearly misinformed.
“They did not marry three days earlier in front of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
“What I suspect they did was exchange some simple vows they had perhaps written themselves, and which is fashionable, and said that in front of the Archbishop — or, and more likely, it was a simple rehearsal.”
Continuing to throw shade in Meghan’s direction, it’s clear Piers isn’t backing down on his claims that the Duchess is “a liar”.
Piers resigned from his post at Good Morning Britain after receiving 57,000 complaints for his comments on Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview.
The firebrand TV host, who has been on the ITV show since 2015, stormed off after becoming engaged in a row with co-star Alex Beresford.
It came after Piers repeatedly made dismissive comments about Meghan’s claims she was “suicidal” and suffered issues with her mental health while a Royal.
He told audiences of the ITV breakfast show that he “didn’t believe a word” of it.
He told reporters the day after his exit from GMB: “I don’t believe almost anything that comes out of her mouth.
“If I have to fall on my sword for expressing an honestly held opinion about Meghan Markle and that diatribe of bilge that she came out with in that interview, so be it.”
The feud between the pair began in 2016 after Piers was “ghosted” by pal Meghan, who “ditched him like a sack of spuds” after meeting Prince Harry.
Piers explained how they first got in contact after he followed her on Twitter and she messaged him saying she was a fan of his.
The pair messaged for a while, and when Meghan visited the UK to watch Serena Williams at Wimbledon they met for a drink.
Piers later revealed: “We had two hours in the pub, she had a couple of dirty martinis and pints – we got on brilliantly.
“The next night [she and Harry] had a solo dinner and that was the last I ever heard from Meghan Markle. I never heard from her again – Meghan Markle ghosted me.”
