"I don't believe her": Lord Sugar slammed for Meghan Markle comment

Celebrity Apprentice boss Lord Sugar has come under fire for his comment on Meghan Markle.

The outspoken businessman, who is usually praised for his “no BS” stance has been slammed for his opinions on Meghan Markle’s televised interview with Oprah Winfrey back in March.

While being interviewed by the newly launched British channel GB News, Lord Alan Sugar stood by TV host Piers Morgan’s criticism and said he doesn’t believe in the Duchess of Sussex.

"Buckingham Palace and all these places where they live... doctors are visiting privately every single day of the week, so if she had something wrong with her, I’m absolutely sure that a psychiatrist or psychotherapist or whatever could have come and visited, and no one would need to know," Sugar said.

"I should imagine that the Queen has had many visits and indeed some other members of the family, have had many visits from doctors.

"They’re very private and confidential and very carefully conducted. For that reason, and that reason alone, I don’t believe her."

Piers Morgan made global headlines when he stormed off the set of Good Morning Britain after his co-host Alex Beresford condemned him for “trashing” the Duchess of Sussex.

“I don’t believe a word she says," Piers said of Meghan's shocking claims at the time.

ITV would later confirm the controversial TV star would step down on his position from the program.

A number of viewers called out Lord Sugar for his "truly awful" comments.

"They lost me when they had Alan Sugar on to discuss the validity of Meghan Markle’s mental health issues. Really..?" one angry person wrote.

"Car crash interview with Alan Sugar. Desperately trying to shoehorn a negative comment in about Meghan, every sentence mentions woke, liberal, left and elite. What an utter shower of s***," another said.

While a third viewer wrote: "Turn on GB News just for a gander to be greeted by Alan Sugar saying that Meghan Markle was lying about having mental health issues to a washed up former Sun columnist. I turned off."
