Piers Morgan has blasted Meghan Markle again, questioning "who the f*** does she think she is" upon her return to the UK with Prince Harry. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived on Monday to attend the One Young World Summit held in Manchester.
Their visit comes after Meghan's bombshell interview with American magazine The Cut, the Mirror reports. While promoting her new podcast Archetypes, she alleged that the British media had called her children “the N-word" amid various other bold claims.
She also suggested that Prince Harry had discussed the breakdown of his relationship with father Prince Charles after the couple stepped down as senior royals to start a new life in the US. However, her unofficial spokesman Omid Scobie later took to social media to refute this, saying it was his understanding that Prince Harry was actually referring to Meghan's strained relationship with her own father.
Unsurprisingly, Piers used his return to his show Uncensored to let rip at Meghan, claiming that she and Harry wanted to "fleece" their titles and he "wasn't having any of it" and suggesting that they were "damaging the monarchy with every interview they give".
He also took to his column in The Sun as he fumed: "Even by her standards, it’s staggeringly, stupendously, preposterously absurd for a woman who married a multi-millionaire prince, gave up her job, and now lives entirely off the gargantuan proceeds of his royal status that she ruthlessly fleeces to the highest bidders, lecturing anyone about poverty and equality.
"But for Markle to pull this stunt in Britain, the country she loathes and couldn’t wait to abandon once she sunk her claws into halfwit Harry, at a time when we’re in the midst of the worst financial crisis since the end of World War Two, is as sickening as it’s outrageous.
"To be blunt, who the f*** does she think she is coming back here at all after all the vile manure she’s gleefully flung at Britain, the Monarchy and the Royal Family?"
Piers went on to accuse the couple of being "shamefully tone deaf" for giving a keynote address about poverty and gender equality. He then suggested that Meghan and Harry should be stripped of their royal titles.
The presenter said: "As always with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – I still don’t understand why the hell they’re allowed to keep these titles given how cynically they exploit them for personal financial gain - their actions are riddled with hypocrisy".
