Piers Morgan has accused Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of being "spoilt brats" for allegedly releasing the promotional video for their new show just "100 minutes" after Princess Kate shared an update on her cancer battle.
"The gap was only 100 minutes, but it might as well have been 100 light years,” the former “Good Morning Britain” firebrand remarked in his latest “Uncensored” column.
He noted that Princess Kate had shared a touching video about her illness journey at 4:29 p.m. on Monday, and Netflix released a teaser for the Sussexes' new polo documentary series at 6:09 p.m. on the same day, The Mirror reported.
"Of course, it may just have been a stupendous coincidence, but if you believe that, then I've got some very dodgy old Ford Cortinas to sell you. He didn't hold back in highlighting the stark contrast between the two Royal couples, stating: "One thing is indisputable, and it's that the separate announcements perfectly encapsulated the very different lives of these two couples now,” Piers went on.
He bestowed praise on Prince William and Princess Kate, juxtaposing their approach with that of Prince Harry and Meghan.
"One, featuring the heir to the throne and his health-stricken wife, was an extraordinarily moving, humble, and profoundly inspiring insight into what it's like to have a life-threatening illness when you have a loving young family, regardless of wealth or status,” Piers stated.
In stark contrast, his assessment of Meghan and Prince Harry was unforgiving. "The other, featuring two spoiled brat renegades who ditched royal duty and service for a life of self-enriching Hollywood glitz and glamour, was a nauseatingly ill-timed self-promotional plug for a series about a sport so elite only millionaires can play it,” he continued.
"Regardless of whether Meghan and Harry deliberately rushed out their promo to try to spoil Kate and William's big announcement, or just to capitalise on the megaton-sized global attention it instantly received, it landed like a plop of unwanted pigeon poop on a pavement,” Piers added.
This development transpired subsequent to Princess Kate's disclosure of intimate family footage, which featured her husband, Prince William, and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Prince Kate courageously verified in the three-minute video that she has "finally completed" her preventative chemotherapy treatment after a challenging nine-month period.
Her voice could be heard discussing her ongoing road to recovery and "remaining cancer-free," and the Princess of Wales expressed her "relief" as she reached the conclusion of her cancer journey.
Princess Kate appeared to be contemplating the future in the emotive update.
"I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can. Despite all that has gone before, I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life,” she stated.
Additionally, the Princess of Wales conveyed a sincere message to her fellow activists against cancer.
"William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone's kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling. To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright,” Princess Kate went on.
