If you don’t know who Piers Morgan is, good, keep it that way. If you do, this little story isn’t really going to surprise you.

Piers is trying to score an invite to the royal wedding with some seriously desperate tactics. Morgan has boldly declared he played a part in Meghan Markle getting together with Prince Harry.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Piers spins a lovely little story to his co-host Susanna Reid about how he invited her to the pub after they became ‘friends’ online.

“She sent me a message – ‘I’m in town, do you want to meet up?’ and I said ‘Sure, come to my local pub for a pint.’

“So Meghan comes along and there were about five locals – talk about eyes popping out of their heads, because she arrived with the shades, the look, the whole thing.

“We sat there and she had dirty Martinis, the vodka version – I had a couple of pints of Harvey’s Real Ale. And for 90 minutes I had a chat with someone I just thought was this actress in a show that I loved, and we talked about the show and off we went and it was all fine.”

But Harry isn’t just gonna hang out at the pub, right? So where does Cupid Piers fit in?

Markle was on her way to a private members club after the two had a drink.

“I put her in an Uber, off she goes, and when the story broke about two or three months later there was a nugget saying they first properly met at a members’ club in London either that night or the next day.

“So it could well be I put Meghan Markle in an Uber to the arms of Prince Harry.”

He then added: “I drove her to your arms your Highness – is it too much to ask?”

Ugh. Talk about desperate. He even Tweeted:

Needless to say, he was being mocked to hell and back in the replies. Check them out here if you need to feel better about your day.
