Piers Morgan savages ‘money-grabbing’ Meghan Markle in rant about her being cancelled by Netflix
PIERS Morgan has savaged "money-grabbing" Meghan Markle in a rant about her animated series being cancelled by Netflix.
The TalkTV presenter said Prince Harry's wife had suffered a "new level of humiliation" as he sent her his best wishes.
It comes after The Sun revealed her upcoming animated series Pearl had been quietly dumped by Netflix.
The show, created by the Duchess of Sussex through Archewell Productions, was in the development stage.
Piers said on his new show Uncensored tonight: "I don't believe in cancel culture so I was obviously distraught to learn that the woman who cancelled me has now been cancelled herself.
"Netflix has shelved the production of Pearl, an animated series developed by Meghan Markle and Sir Elton John's husband David Furnish.

"It was about a 12-year-old girl inspired by influential women. Apparently it was based on her own very inspiring rags to Royal riches story. Sadly, nobody at Netflix shared my inspiration."
He added: "Concern is now mounting that their whole £100m deal might now be in jeopardy.
"None of this brings me any pleasure. Especially after the failure of her nauseatingly patronising children's book, The Bench.
"They may be subtly discovering that maybe the rest of the world isn't quite as excited by their self-righteous brand of their pious, hypocritical, money-grabbing, virtue-signalling, royal-bashing, as they are.
"Let's face it, when the world's wokeist production company axes the world's wokeist project by the world's wokeist celebrity, that's a whole new level of humiliation.
"I wish Meghan, sincerely, all the very best at this difficult time."
Pearl was set to be the streaming giant's first animated series.
But it was binned as part of cutbacks amid a collapse in subscribers, reported.
