Minutes after the British royal family announced that Queen Elizabeth II’s husband, Prince Philip, had died at the age of 99, Fox & Friends he blamed their inevitable culprits: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Host Brian Kilmeade immediately linked the extremely old and ill death of the Duke of Edinburgh to Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey last month, which contained shocking claims of racism and cruel treatment of Meghan by members of the royal family.
Kilmeade said in Friday’s show: “There are reports that [Philip] he was furious after the interview and the results of the interview with Oprah Winfrey, so here he tries to recover and is hit with it. ”
Kilmeade then went on to cite Piers Morgan, of all people, as proof that Philip’s health had been affected by the Oprah interview. Morgan resigned ashamed of his show, Good morning Great Britain, after thousands of people complained about his repeated attacks on Meghan. The bottom line came when he said he did not believe his admission that he felt suicidal.
Fox & Friends host said: “Piers Morgan said that in his morning show, which he gave up, it’s like“ Really? Your grandfather is in the hospital, you know he’s not doing well, is that the right time to do this interview? Obviously, it definitely added to his stress. “
Philip left his hospital in London after a month-long stay to treat an unspecified infection. He also underwent a procedure for a pre-existing heart condition at the time. He was also 99 years old.
