Piers Morgan has slammed Prince Harry for having “brazen double standards” – something that comes after Harry and Meghan decide to take legal action against the Government.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to be taking legal action after they were stripped of their security, despite having offered to pay for it, when they decided to step down from their royal duties and move to the States.
It has recently been revealed that Harry wants to bring his children, Archie and Lilibet to visit the UK, but feels as though he is “unable to return to his home” because it is too dangerous and wants protection should he choose to – a legal representative said.
Piers has said that he doesn’t understand why the royal couple think they are entitled to royal protection, especially since they decided to move to America.
The former Good Morning Britain anchor, was being interviewed by Sophie Raworth on BBC One’s Sunday Morning Live when they got onto the topic of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and the Queen.
Piers then took a swipe at the young couple and said: “It’s absolutely chillingly inevitable these two would pop their heads up again right when the Queen least wants them to.
“I feel so sorry for the Queen. It’s her Platinum Jubilee coming,” he said. “The timing of it so appalling.”
He continued: “She’s lost her husband, she’s got this awful situation with Andrew, and now her grandson who has been baiting the Royal Family and the monarchy all year has now popped up from his mansion in California to say that when he comes back to the UK he wants to have the British police protect him.
“Sorry mate, that’s now how this works… I don’t give a damn if he’s paying for it or not.
“Why should the British police protect him? He’s now a private citizen. He doesn’t do any royal duties.”
The controversial commentator and columnist then said: “They’re making hundreds of millions of dollars fleecing their royal titles, which they still have while simultaneously trashing the Royal Family and the institution of the monarchy that his grandmother is the head of.
“Now they want to have cake and eat it as always. I wouldn’t let them have royal titles. It’s a brazen double standard. If you want royal titles, do royal duties.”
