Piers Morgan has slammed Meghan Markle for reportedly leaving baby Archie alone in Canada as both Prince Harry and herself traveled across the world for work.
The presenter made the dig on UK news and entertainment show Good Morning Britain, as Piers discussed the former senior Royal's new lifestyle. He did so while joined by royal protection officer Ken Wharfe and journalist Ateh Jewel, and the conversation soon turned to Meghan and Harry's alleged decision to travel without their child.

Piers said of the couple allegedly leaving Archie on Vancouver Island: "Susanna and Charlotte, on this issue of if Archie doesn't come on this trip - and we don't know for sure, maybe he will come - if he doesn't come... isn't it a bit odd?
"I mean, I've had four kids and the rule was always both parents wouldn't be out of the country at the same time when my kids were that young. I'm very surprised."
Piers' co-host Susanna Reid agreed with his point, saying: "For my 40th we were supposed to go away without the children and I literally, physically couldn't get on the plane with my children's dad, who I was together with at the time, because I couldn't bear the thought that something might happen to us and we'd left the children at home.
"I've always had a rule with all my kids that you can't be in a different country, both parents, away from a young child - I don't think. I'm surprised!"

However, while the presenters of the show may have agreed that Meghan and Harry's alleged decision to leave Archie behind was "odd", fans of the couple took to social media to defend them.
One wrote: "I think it's smart that Meghan and Harry keep their baby safe with all the coronavirus knocking about! Wouldn't any responsible parent do that?!"

This isn't the first time the former Suits star has been mom-shamed. Back in January, Meghan was slammed for this picture of her "awkwardly" carrying baby Archie.
