Meghan Markle has been accused of “converting” the Duke of Sussex to a “new religion of woke” by David Starkey. The presenter made the comments on Thursday’s instalment of Bev Turner Today during a discussion about the Duke‘s book, Spare, causing an alleged surge in support for an Australian republic.
David claimed: “There are two Harrys, aren’t there? There is the Harry you knew and there is the Harry that has been taken over by Meghan.
“I mean Harry is a convert to the new religion of woke, the person who converted him was Meghan.
“You always need a priest and a priestess if you convert somebody and she has converted him.
“Of course, the poor lad is too stupid, he’s basically very stupid. He’s nice but stupid which is why the Army was so good for him.”

However, host Bev Turner challenged David following his tirade against Meghan and Harry.
She said: “I don’t know if we can blame Meghan – we can’t blame Meghan entirely.
“You see him doing his interviews for Spare and she wasn’t there pulling the strings.
The debate divided GB News viewers who took to Twitter to share their opinions about David’s comments.
Neil said: “As usual Starkey is on the money with no woke nonsense!”
J shared: “David Starkey always delivers, the man nailed it.” (sic)

David’s observations come in the wake of Harry’s tell-all memoir being released earlier this month.
The Prince has participated in a variety of televised interviews about the book which have been met with criticism.
The 38-year-old royal discloses details about his sex life, using drugs when he was younger and his rift with Prince William within Spare.
