The Duchess of Sussex has been out of the public eye after giving birth to her first child, Archie, with Prince Harry on May 6.
But Meghan Markle came out of her maternity leave on Saturday to attend the Trooping of the Colour.
Now, Piers Morgan, 54, has slammed the new mother’s behaviour as “suspicious” after she turned up at the event but was a no-show during US S President Donald Trump’s state visit last week.
In his Mail Online column, the Good Morning Britain host said: “I don’t think her absence from Trump’s visit had anything to do with her baby, and everything to do with her dislike of her President.
“And that, I’m afraid, is unacceptable.”
He went on: “So, I’m sorry, but bunking off at home is simply not an option for ANY senior member of the Royal Family.”
“And we all know why she did it – she hates Trump with a passion, and views him, as she once said on TV, as a ‘divisive misogynist’.”
Piers added as Meghan is the only American among the royal, she “should have been there to greet the President and his family on behalf of her fellow Americans”.
“By staying at home, then turning up all bright and cheerful the moment Trump left, she displayed a woefully selfish disregard for royal duty,” he concluded.
Piers was met with mixed reaction with on Twitter after he shared the link of his article to his 6.67 million followers.
One person said: She just gave birth. Who the heck are you to tell someone with a newborn where they have to go?
The Life Stories presenter replied: “The baby didn’t stop her playing Princess at Trooping of the Colour…2 days after Trump left.”
Another defended Meghan and said: “Seriously??? She can’t stand the idiot and I applaud her for staying away from him. She just had a child and has every right to stay home with the baby as opposed to being two faced and acting like he’s someone who deserves her attention/respect. Who the hell are you to judge?”
“The royals have a duty to meet & greet world leaders, however much they personally dislike them,” Piers responded.
“Meghan needs to understand that’s part of her life now, in return for all the palaces & servants.”
