Piers Morgan slams 'spoiled' Harry after Prince claims he 'wants to make world better' for his kids

Piers Morgan has slammed 'spoiled' Prince Harry after the royal said he 'won't rest' until he's made the world a better place for his children Lilibet and Archie.

The Duke of Sussex said he will "never, ever, ever rest" until he has made the world a better place, adding: "Because it is our responsibility that the world is the way it is now,

"I don't think that we should be bringing children into the world unless we're going to make that commitment to make it better for them. We cannot steal your future."

However, the famously outspoken presenter took to social media to criticise 'spoiled' Prince Harry for his remarks.

Quoting an article about the royal's remarks, Piers said: "More equal? A spoiled privileged prince who inherited millions & now makes 100s of millions fleecing his royal titles from his $11m Californian mansion wants EQUALITY for his kids?"

Many fans took to the comments, either in agreement with Piers or not.

One said in agreement: "Do you know this statement really makes me laugh. What have they done since relocating to USA to make the world a better place?...mmmm well basically NOTHING.They had concentrated on their energies on making their own world a better place generating more money for themselves only"

"Piers thank you for being the voice of reason . You're an absolute legend can't wait for the new show," gushed another.

A third ranted: "Me me again, my husband, my kids, my wife. My suffering, my poor sad lives? Have they forgotten it should be all about the Invictus games??"

However, not everyone thought Piers was right.

One said: "Mate I reckon most agree with the general sentiment on these two but you don’t have to dive in on anything and everything they do. It’s like they’re living rent free in your head. Relax man"

"I think he's quite down to earth. Which is endearing as he connects with people. He can't change his past but can try to influence the future," another wrote.

A third said: "Don’t mince his words. You do not like Megan, we get that! No need to mince the words Which really suggest leaving the World a better place for generations to come!"

After being introduced by Meghan to the Invictus Games stage, Harry continued his speech: "To be role models, or the role models, that each of you are takes strength and it takes courage.

“When I talk to my son Archie about what he wants to be when he grows up, some days it’s an astronaut, other days it’s a pilot – a helicopter pilot obviously. Or Kwazii from Octonauts. If you’re laughing then you’ve seen that.

“But what I remind him is that no matter what you want to be when you grow up, it’s your character that matters most, and nothing would make his mum and me prouder than to see him have the character of what we see before us today.”

Harry said those involved with Invictus have “overcome immense challenges”, adding: “And together you are healing and teaching the world as you go.”

Also in his speech, Harry paid tribute to the “boundless humility, the compassion and the friendship” of the Invictus Games.

He said: “I want to personally thank the people of the Netherlands for welcoming us with such warm Dutch hospitality.

“And thank you to the Dutch government, the Ministry of Defence and the Dutch royal family for their support in making this all happen after a two-year wait.”

He also paid tribute to the “bravery” of Team Ukraine in choosing to attend the games, echoing his wife’s earlier sentiment that everyone stands with them.

He said: “Your bravery in choosing to come and for being here tonight cannot be overstated."
