Markle\u2019s father is white and her mother is black.<\/p>\n<p>Beresford, who is also biracial, said Morgan has a grudge against Markle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand that you\u2019ve got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle and she cut you off,\u201d he said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9341281\/Piers-Morgan-storms-GMB-furious-row-weatherman-Alex-Beresford-Meghan-Markle.html\">according<\/a> to The Daily Mail. \u201cI understand that you don\u2019t like Meghan Markle, you\u2019ve made it so clear a number of times on this program, a number of times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s entitled to cut you off if she wants to,\u201d he added. \u201cHas she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don\u2019t think she has. But yet you continue to trash her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beresford also defended Markle. \u201cThere was bad press around the engagement before the engagement and everything that has followed since has been incredibly damaging, quite clearly to Meghan\u2019s mental health and also to Harry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morgan then stormed off the live show, saying, \u201c\u2018OK, I\u2019m done with this. Sorry. You can trash me mate but not on my own show. See you later.\u201d He came back a short time later and told Beresford that he would stay if they had a debate in a \u201ccivilized manner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou launching into a pretty personally derogatory monologue on one of your colleagues probably isn\u2019t one of the best ways to go about it,\u201d Morgan said. \u201cAs much as I\u2019d like to sit here taking abuse from you, that\u2019s not going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beresford fired back: \u201cI\u2019m not trying to come on this show and take you down. Just because we\u2019re on the same side we have to have the same view.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis whole situation is very personal for me and I\u2019m by no way, shape or form accusing you of being racist. I have the luxury of knowing you on and off screen and we\u2019ve had conversations, I know where you stand on this and I have a great amount of respect for you, Piers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan then said, \u201cI wanted you on the show today because you sent me a really thoughtful and nuanced message about all this and I thought we could have a thoughtful nuanced conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Said Beresford: \u201cI\u2019m tired of finding a different way to explain not to you, but to so many people, on why what has been said is so wrong. \u2026 I\u2019ve walked into institutions as the only person of color and experienced covert and overt racism on so many occasions and why the Meghan interview really resonates with me is because an ex-work colleague \u2013 not on this show \u2013 asked me if I was worried about the shade of cocoa that my son was going to come out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morgan said he doesn\u2019t have a \u201cracist bone\u201d in his body, and&nbsp;Beresford agreed, saying, \u201cI don\u2019t feel that you are a racist\u2026 but that\u2019s why I just feel the stance you were taking on it yesterday was so strong I just felt it was slightly clouded because you\u2019ve had an experience with her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Piers Morgan storms off set after confrontation over his attacks on royal couple\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w0bU-l__BPs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>After the clash, Beresford wrote on Twitter: \u201cI wish I had the privilege to sit on the fence. In order for me to do that I would have to strip myself of my identity and that\u2019s not something I can do. It\u2019s not any of our places to pick apart claims of racism in order to make us to feel more comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
