Bringing up the “bombshell that has been lost in all of this”, Piers said on Good Morning Britain today, “I didn’t even know you could do that twice in three days”.
“So the vows they made on national TV were not real vows? So everything we saw was a sham.
“Also who has the Archbishop of Canterbury in their back garden to get married? And they claim to be ‘people of the people’.
“The Archbishop of Canterbury wouldn’t have officiated on a fake wedding so presumably he did the real wedding and we got sold a scam for £30million quid.”

Meghan told Oprah: “Three days before our wedding, we got married.
“No-one knows that but we called the Archbishop [of Canterbury] and we just said ‘this thing, this spectacle is for the world but we want our union between us’.
“The vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our back yard with the Archbishop of Canterbury.”
Harry added: “Just the three of us.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex married in front of 600 guests at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in May 2018 – with their big day including a carriage procession and blooming flower arch.
It’s estimated that the big day cost £32million – covering everything from the cost of security and catering to Meghan’s stunning dress.
