Piers Morgan has stirred controversy by accusing Prince William of attempting to conceal something amidst ongoing scrutiny over the so-called “Kate-gate” scandal.

In a recent episode of his YouTube channel, Morgan disclosed, “I’ve been told some stuff… it’s pretty alarming what is happening,” although he emphasised uncertainty about the accuracy of the information. The former Good Morning Britain host also notably aligned with a statement from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s camp for the first time, marking a departure from his usual criticism of the couple.

The whereabouts of Kate Middleton continue to spark global interest, particularly following the revelation that a photo shared on Mother’s Day across William and Kate’s social media platforms had been edited. Despite demands for the original picture, the Royal Family declined to release it, leading to heightened speculation.

Morgan dissected the situation on his show, questioning the Royal Family’s handling of the controversy and sharing clips from American programs discussing the relationship between William and Kate. He refrained from repeating allegations made by comedians but highlighted the significance of the discourse surrounding the couple’s marriage.

The YouTube segment featured discussions about the photo editing debacle, with Morgan pondering whether the released image was truly recent and critiquing the perceived amateur editing efforts. He voiced sympathy for the Royal Family amidst King Charles’s health struggles but also criticised them for exacerbating conspiracy theories.

During the broadcast, Morgan introduced guests for further debate, acknowledging the complexity of the situation and the potential gravity of the allegations he had heard. He noted the ridicule the Royal Family faced in the United States due to the scandal.

Later in the show, Morgan shared insights from sources claiming that Harry and Meghan’s camp believed the repercussions would have been severe if they had made a similar mistake, prompting him to concede the validity of their point.

Amidst the uproar, Kate issued a statement on social media, expressing regret for any confusion caused by the edited photograph shared on Mother’s Day. The image, purportedly taken by Prince Charles, featured Kate and her children but was removed by major picture agencies due to concerns over its authenticity.
