Piers Morgan recently erupted into a savage rant about the “vitriolic” Duke of Sussex live on air, following Prince Harry’s return to the UK via Yahoo.
Appearing on This Morning on Thursday September 11th, the broadcaster butted heads with panellist Ashley James, who praised the royal as a “dedicated” individual who has “done so much for mental health”.
Interrupting James mid-sentence, the 60-year-old questioned his impact on the mental health of the royal family.
“You’re painting him as an idyllic picture of this heroic character. He has renounced royal duty, but he’s kept the royal titles so he can continue making money.”
James fired back at Morgan, who claimed that Harry stepped back from the royal family due to “relentless media intrusion, with your mouth being one of those mouth pieces”.
On his UK visit, Piers said, “My thing is you can’t have your cake and eat it. What he wants to do is cherry pick certain things that make him look good.”
Piers added that Harry’s recent visit to the UK for charity work seems like an attempt to improve his image, but he can’t “have his cake and eat it too.”
“The most intrusive person into royal privacy ever has been Prince Harry – with his book and with his Netflix series,” said Piers.
