Piers Morgan has lambasted Prince Harry’s ‘mental windscreen’ comments as a “cynical money grab”.
Writing about the emancipated royal in his latest column for The Sun, the 56-year-old broadcaster didn’t pull any punches when he described the Duke of Sussex’s recent mental health talk for US firm BetterUp as “gibberish”.
In the speech, Harry shared his top tips for mental fitness, one of which included ‘wiping your mental windscreen’ by ‘surrounding yourself with people who have different points of view and encourage you to see things more clearly’.
Of the comments, Piers said Harry was ‘morphing into someone totally unrecognisable.’

He later accused the 37-year-old of ‘damaging his own mental health’ and labelled him a “privileged little twerp”.
Piers wrote: “Like almost everything he and his wife Meghan have done since flouncing out of Britain and royal duty, it stinks of hypocrisy and ruthless commercialism.”
Adding that he doesn’t know ‘what the hell is happening to Harry’, Piers said the “worst” part of Harry’s talk came when the father-of-two urged companies to let staff take ‘me time’ during office hours through activities such as meditation and mental health coaching.

Piers continued: “Judging by the way they’ve treated those closest to them, these two self-obsessed little chancers clearly have no concept of what compassion actually means.
“As for Harry’s demand for employees to get extensive ‘me time’ at work, this is not the first time he has shown himself to be absurdly out of touch with the experiences of ordinary people.
“Last year, he told anyone unhappy in their job to simply quit if it didn’t bring them ‘joy’ and walk away into the glorious sunset — like he did!”
He concluded: “I do know that his incessant rabbiting about his mental health, for huge financial gain, is now damaging MY mental health.

“For the love of God, SHUT UP, you privileged little twerp.”
Earlier this week, Piers objected to The View host Whoopi Goldberg not being fired from the show after stating that the holocaust ‘wasn’t about race’.
He said the treatment surrounded Whoopi, who was suspended from the US talk show for two weeks, was a lot more understanding than that shown to Sharon Osbourne, who was fired from the series after a heated Meghan and Harry debate last year.
