In this YouTube clip, Dennis Prager engages in a heated conversation with Good Morning Britain co‑host Susanna Reid about the Oprah interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Prager argues that airing private family problems, especially those of the royal family, is morally wrong and reduces serious issues to voyeuristic entertainment. He questions the significance of a reported comment about the future baby’s skin tone, suggesting it may not be racist and that the media amplifies it to generate clicks. Prager also criticises the press for creating a "mountain out of a molehill" and laments the erosion of civil liberties. The discussion veers into the Piers Morgan incident, where Morgan walked off a program, which Prager praises as a rare display of unpredictability. Reid challenges Prager’s stance, accusing him of trashing Meghan and questioning his personal relationship with her. The exchange ends abruptly with Reid expressing frustration and Prager attempting to downplay the tension.

So I'm talking to you about the subject that I have not said a word about. I have a moral issue, I have a moral problem with people talking about the problems of their families to the world. Why, why don't others have this moral problem? Because the royal family is famous, so it's fun to peep in. The, the Oprah interview was voyeurism. That's all it was. Let's hear about how crappy your life is. Meghan Markle's life— I, I can't tell you, when I think— the moment I hear about suffering, it's a picture of Meghan Markle in my mind. It's really worthy of a Happiness Hour subject. If she can be suicidal and crying incessantly, then it shows circumstances do not produce happiness or unhappiness. We produce unhappiness and unhappiness. The poor thing. And then the racial remarks. Somebody said— what's the exact line? Oh, it's in the paper? Yeah. In those months when I was pregnant and at the same time there was talk about no title, no security, and also conversations about how dark his skin might be when born. Said the Duchess, who identifies as biracial and has a Black mother and white father. Meghan and Harry— this is USA Today— Meghan and Harry would not elaborate further, though Winfrey said Monday on CBS This Morning that Harry had neither Queen Elizabeth nor Prince Philip were involved in those conversations. Harry said neither of them were involved. Oh my God. So what is the royal family supposed to do when she tells tens of millions of people that somebody made this comment? We don't know who made the comment. And it wasn't the most important people of the family who made the comment. I got a question for you, my dear friends. I'm sure the answer is no, but I just figured I'd throw it out anyway. Has anyone in your extended family made a foolish comment? I know the answer is no. But she's saddled with a family in which somewhere somebody said this. And what is it exactly that they said? Conversations about how dark his skin might be when born. So why is that necessarily racist? Given, by the way, she's particularly light colored. He is as white as I am, which is really white. In fact, it's a new color in Crayola. It's called Dennis White. And the baby, I'm told, I didn't, I don't think I've gotten a good look at the baby, is quite light. I personally don't give a hoot. Erase means zero to me. However, that's the headlines because the media have two agendas: crap on the royal family and make a mountain out of a molehill so people keep watching, listening, and reading. That's it. That's what's going on. The civil liberties in the free world have never been as attacked as right now, and we're talking about a line made by the wife of a prince who has left the royal family's royalty. And we're talking about a comment made which is not even necessarily racist. So she wanted— why did she even mention this? Because she wants to hurt them. There's no other reason. And with the use of the media, you know, Piers Morgan, I gotta say, the guy walked off his program. Did you see that? He was so ticked at Sean I don't know why. Probably for not giving the commercial words last break. And he just walked off. I must say about Piers Morgan, he's a gutsy guy and one of the only unpredictable commentators in the world. I, I do—
times on this program, a number of times. And I understand that you've got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle, or had one, and she cut you off. She's entitled to cut you off if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don't think she has, but yet you continue to trash her.
Okay.
I'm done with this. No, no, no. Sorry. No, sorry. Do you know what? That's— You can track me, maybe not mine. No, no, no, no. I'm being— Sorry, can't do this. Absolutely diabolical behavior. You say— I'm sorry, but Piers spouts off.
I mean, that sounds like, uh, that's a little over the top. Good Morning Britain, that's an action moment. How often does a co-host leave? Alan has never walked out on me. I just want you to know that.
