Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing ‘rival royal family’ claims following King Charles‘ public letter. The news comes as the Sussexes are rebuilding their life in the UK following their return from the US. As per the declaration, the King confirmed the couple will not be permitted to use their HRH titles and will remain “private citizens.”
Piers Morgan slams Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over ‘public figures’ demand
Piers Morgan has hit out at suggestions that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are establishing a “rival royal” court. He branded their actions as “stinking hypocrisy.” Appearing on The Royals Uncensored, he cautioned that the Sussexes’ return could lead to “a rival royal family now in this country.” Morgan argued that they are seeking the privileges of royal life without the duties. “They couldn’t have their royal cake and eat it,” he stated.
The British broadcaster reacted after insiders close to the couple revealed that they want recognition as “public figures.” Sources told The Telegraph that the Duke took issue with officials labelling them as private citizens. Morgan pointed out the contradiction in them wanting to be seen as “public figures” after escaping the “misery of being public figures.” He noted, “You trash our country, you trash our family.” The panel of Katie Nicholl, Jo Elvin and Grant Harrold agreed the King’s letter has ended any half-in, half-out plans.
Royal expert Rebecca English also shared her reaction to the Sussexes’ claim on X (formerly Twitter). She wrote, “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would prefer to be ‘public figures’ NOT private citizens, sources reveal amid string of extraordinary claims.”Responding to the royal expert, Piers Morgan tweeted, “I prefer to call them ‘grifters.’”
The British public seems to agree with King Charles‘ decision as well. A Daily Express poll that went live at 10:30 am on September 8 asked readers if the monarch was right to issue his statement on Monday. It received more than 12,800 votes, and a huge majority of 12,514 said that His Majesty was right to do so.
