Piers Morgan hits out at Harry and Meghan over 'arrogant' coronation statement

Piers Morgan has branded Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s statement about them receiving an invite to King Charles’ coronation as “arrogant”.

On Sunday, a spokesperson for the pair explained they had received “email correspondence” from the King’s office which invited them to the ceremony.

They added that their attendance “will not be disclosed” at this time.

The TalkTV presenter later took to Twitter to lash out at the bashful couple, saying: “The arrogance of this statement is comical.”

Many of his followers agreed and rushed to the comment section to make further jibes at the pair.

One said: “Clearly waiting to hear from the Netflix producers if they can get a camera crew in time.”

But some claimed Piers wouldn’t have been happy with any statement the pair had put out about the Coronation.

One person wrote: “Accept the invitation – ‘they shouldn’t be there!'”

“Decline the invitation – ‘they’re disrespecting the King! They should be there!’ Not yet responded to the invitation – ‘how dare they take some time to respond!'”

Earlier this week it was revealed the pair had been asked to move out of their Frogmore Cottage home in the grounds of Windsor Castle by the King.

According to reports, the keys to the cottage have been offered to Prince Andrew and he has been asked to leave his Royal Lodge home, which is also located in the grounds of the castle.

Despite living in California, Harry and Meghan have kept some of their belongings at the five-bedroom property.

After the King’s decision over the accommodation was announced Piers branded it a “smart” move.

On his TalkTV show on Wednesday, Piers locked horns with guest Tessa Dunlop about the couple.

The loudmouth host said the King had to act swiftly because they had the potential to cause the downfall of the monarchy.

Piers said: “Actually what Charles has done, in my view very smartly, is now moved to save the monarchy and its reputation from these two flamethrowers who keep wanting to trash it and burn it to the ground.”
