Piers Morgan says Meghan and Harry are a joke

Piers Morgan’s tweet linking Prince Louis’s grimaces to his “Aunty Meghan” Markle went viral, racking up more than 20,000 likes. It also got a fair share of protests from followers who accused the journalist of obsessing over the duchess. “Why do you have so much energy for Meghan but none for [Prince] Andrew?” asked one. Another scolded, “Just stop it. This is suppose[d] to be about the Queen.” Many others brought up Morgan’s old anecdote of having had drinks with Meghan the same night she met Prince Harry (via BBC), and called him out for still carrying a grudge.
The insults just rolled off Morgan’s back. He recently told the New York Post that the reaction to his tweet just proves how many people side with him against the estranged royals. “Most people laughed because they’re now global laughing stocks after all their hypocritical money-grabbing royal-bashing antics,” he declared. He went on to bash the critics: “But Meghan and Harry’s dwindling number of humorless deluded woke fans were triggered into fury, yet again, because they genuinely believe the Sussexes are the world’s biggest victims. This belief, like my tweet, is hilarious.” Morgan proceeded to double down on his slam by posting another tweet, this time a video of a small crowd cheering him as he appeared on a balcony. “So, to recap… Boris Johnson got booed, the Sussexes got booed, and this is what happened to me…” he wrote.

One of the couple’s most vocal detractors has been Piers Morgan. The journalist and TV host frequently sounds off on social media and his New York Post column about the Sussexes’ California lifestyle, causes, and Netflix projects, so he couldn’t resist taking a Jubilee-related jab. Posting photos of Prince Louis making faces and covering his ears during the Trooping the Colour flyby, he tweeted, “Is this when Aunty Meghan arrived?”
This angered many royals fans, who felt Morgan was spending too much time slamming Meghan and Harry instead of paying tribute to the queen, according to My London. But, Morgan isn’t one to back down quietly.
