Princess Diana "Would Edit" Stories About Herself Before They Ran and "Fax Them Back," Piers Morgan Claims

Journalist Piers Morgan has made a number of controversial statements about the Royal Family over the years, especially Meghan Markle. Although he's left the mainstream media to host his own YouTube show, there was a time when Morgan was reporting on Princess Diana as the then-editor of the News of the World. His tenure at the publication has been marred by scandal after Prince Harry claimed Morgan "knew about, encouraged and concealed" illegal targeting of Diana (via the Guardian). But in a new interview, the journalist claims the late princess would "manipulate the media ruthlessly."

Morgan—who left Good Morning Britain after he made offensive comments about the Duchess of Sussex in 2021—appeared on the "Him & Her Show" podcast this week. In the wide-ranging interview, Morgan shared some insights on what it was like working with Princess Diana in the '90s.
