Amid Princess Catherine’s photoshop drama, controversial journalist Piers Morgan made some bold claims about what he believed was really going on behind the palace walls — a cover-up attempting to hide the fact that Catherine had a complete breakdown. Making an appearance on TMZ’s “Where is Kate Middleton?” segment, Morgan speculated that Catherine might have had a mental collapse from shouldering the burden of being the queen in waiting. “They’ve had now a major health crisis and she’s trying to bring up three young kids in the goldfish bowl of the royal family. You put that all together, that’s a lot for any young woman to deal with,” Morgan said (via the Mirror).
Morgan had been stirring the pot long before he granted TMZ an interview. On his show, “Uncensored,” he claimed to have some inside information. “I’ve been told some stuff that, if even half of it is true, it’s pretty alarming what is happening. I don’t know what to believe, nor do any of us — we’re not there,” he said.
After the Mother’s Day photograph was pulled by news outlets, Morgan took to X platform, formerly Twitter, to call on the palace to release the original image. “If it’s just a small bit of harmless retouching gone wrong, nobody will care. If they don’t release the original pic, the conspiracy theories they were trying to kill, will get way worse,” Morgan wrote.
