Piers Morgan has hit out at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle once again amid reports the happy couple plan to attend the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next month.
The former Good Morning Britain presenter, 57, celebrated the recent reports that Her Majesty had allegedly banned the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from joining the rest of the family on the Buckingham Palace balcony at her Jubilee celebrations.
Also reportedly shunned from the infamous family snaps is her son Prince Andrew following the Duke of York’s involvement in Jeffery Epstein grooming scandal.
Yet when the news broke, the happy couple had still planned to attend the celebratory ceremony but the TalkTV host wasted no time in hitting out at the famous couple.

Taking to Twitter in full view of 7.9million followers, Piers wrote: “BREAKING: Queen bans Harry, Meghan & Andrew from Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping of Colour ceremony during Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
“Only working royals performing duties for her will attend. Massive snub to the renegade Sussexes and her shamed son. Good decision.”
Yet moments later, a spokesperson for the Sussexes corrected Piers’ post as they informed journalist Roya Nikkhah: “Harry and Meghan WILL be coming to the Jubilee.
“A Sussex spokesperson says: ‘Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are excited and honoured to attend The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations this June with their children.”

And it’s fair to say the correction left the dad-of-four infuriated as he responded to the news, tweeting: “Oh God, they’re coming anyway…wait for the Sussex circus to steal focus from the Queen.”
This is the broadcaster’s latest swipe at the royals who has highly-publicised his dislike for the doting parents through regular TV appearances and online.
His comments divided the star’s loyal legion of fans online, with many in support of the couple attending the event, offering eagle-eyed viewers a first-look at baby Lillibet in the UK since her birth.

One user penned: “Oh so horrible, that a grandson and his family would come to an event to celebrate his grandmother.
“And if they didn’t attend you would all have negative comments about that as well.”
Another added: “Grandson invited by Grandmother to celebrate with her……..what’s your problem?”

However, many users agreed with Piers online, as one fan of the TV star argued: “Would be better if they just sent a card and stayed well away!
“Poor Queen having to hear those two being booed all over London on her special day.”
Another agreed: “Of course they are……to try and grovel their way back in now that things aren’t going so well.”
