British broadcaster Piers Morgan recently called on King Charles III to strip the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of their royal titles as Prince Harry accused the King of blocking his bid for police protection via Newsweek.
Addressing Harry in a tweet Morgan, stated : “Shut up, you pathetic little brat, nobody in Britain has anything but contempt for your despicable treatment of your family.”
Piers Morgan’s latest shot on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle underscores ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the British establishment. His call for King Charles III to strip Meghan of her title indicates a growing chorus among critics who believe the couple’s actions have damaged the royal family’s reputation.
Morgan’s call was in response to Prince Harry’s interview with the BBC on Friday in which he said he wanted reconciliation with his family. He had also suggested his father was standing in the way of getting the official risk assessment he believes would lead to his police team’s reinstatement.
On Friday, Harry lost a legal battle to get his police bodyguards reinstated after previously saying removing them makes visiting the United Kingdom unsafe for him, his wife Meghan Markle, and their children.
After the ruling, the Duke of Sussex blamed his father, who has been suffering cancer, for not talking to him. He told the BBC: “There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has. He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile.”
He added that the decision to remove his automatic security entitlement impacts him “every single day,” and has left him in a position where he can only safely return to the UK if invited by the Royal Family, as he would get sufficient security in those circumstances.
