Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan slammed Prince Harry on Monday for trashing his family in a Sunday evening interview with Oprah Winfrey from California — while his grandfather, Prince Philip, 99, is being treated in hospital.
Prince Philip, who is married to Queen Elizabeth II, 94, has been hospitalized for nearly three weeks for the treatment of a heart ailment. Prince Harry joined his American wife, Meghan Markle, for an interview complaining about the royal family.
Markle told Winfrey that an unnamed member of the royal family had worried about the skin color of her first child, Archie, and implied that he had been denied the title of “Prince” for that reason (rather than because of century-old protocols).
Morgan was outraged at the damage Markle was doing to the royal family from abroad. He tweeted about the interview:
On Good Morning Britain, Morgan said: “I’m angry to the point of boiling over. I’m sickened by what I’ve just seen. This is a two hour trashathon of our monarchy and Royal Family. They trash everybody! They basically make out everybody in the Royal Family is a white supremacist. I just don’t think that’s acceptable.”
Later, in a column at the UK Daily Mail, Morgan added:
Never have I watched a more repulsively disingenuous interview.
…
Here we had the Duke and Duchess of Privacy flinging out the filthy family laundry for the delectation of tens of millions of people all over the world, whilst simultaneously bleating about press intrusion.
They moaned about the terrible pain of their royal titles but were also outraged their son Archie wasn’t allowed to be a Prince.
…
Having had personal experience, on a very small scale, of Meghan Markle’s ruthlessness when dispensing of anyone in her life that’s ceased to be of use to her, it was no great shock to see her lighting a gigantic bonfire that will surely cause irreparable damage to her husband’s family.
Morgan predicted that the accusation of racism — lobbed at Queen Elizabeth, who famously embraced and danced with African liberation leader Kwame Nkrumah in 1961 in what was seen at the time as a daring statement about racial equality — would damage the royal family worldwide.
