Opening in regards to the furore 5 years later, the Uncensored host was probed about his criticism of Meghan, 44, “being excessive”. The broadcaster addressed whether or not an apology from him to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would ever be on the playing cards. In a four-word assertion, he stated, “I will not try this.”
“If what you are looking for is, ‘I am so sorry for being imply to Meghan’ – I wasn’t,” he advised Grazia journal. “I will not try this.”

Piers went on to recommend that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has finished “far worse” than the Sussexes by bringing disgrace on the British Royal Household.
“They don’t seem to be in the identical league of wrongdoing as [Andrew’s] been accused of,” he mused, “however let’s not mitigate the injury they prompted when Prince Philip after which the late Queen had been dying.”
He added: “So, do I remorse something I stated about them? No, I feel it’s going to stand the check of time.”
