Jordan Peterson tells Piers Morgan why Meghan Markle 'grates on' him

Jordan Peterson has hit back at Meghan Markle in an interview with Piers Morgan. The Canadian psychologist, author and cultural commentator defended his past comments which attracted criticism from the Duchess of Sussex in a recent episode of her podcast.

Meghan seized on remarks Peterson had made in a discussion with transgender academic Camille Paglia in which he said "I don't think that men can control crazy women". After playing a clip of the statement on her Archetypes podcast, Meghan said the use of labels such as 'crazy', 'hysterical' and 'insane' have been drilled into people by the media and other members of society.

When asked about it during an appearance on Talk TV show Piers Morgan Uncensored, Peterson accused Meghan of "faux compassion" and "talking down to her audience". After comparing her to US vice president Kamala Harris, Peterson described Prince Harry's wife as sanctimonious and said her voice "grates on him".
