Morgan questions the intentions of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

In his new column for The Sun, Piers Morgan did not mince any words while expressing his disappointment with the trailer. The royal correspondent sympathized with the members of the royal family. He believes that they are the primary targets of this attack by the Sussexes. He also slammed Prince Harry for publicly bringing shame to his family with the docuseries.

“It was so ghastly, so repugnant, so dripping in sanctimony. And fake hammy ‘woe-is-us’ acting, that I felt my intestines physically recoil in abject disgust. It made me want to puke,” the royal journalist wrote in his column. 

Further, Morgan also doubted the intentions of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Two years back, the couple had quit the royal duties to live a private life. They had also bashed and legally sued a lot of media houses for intruding in their lives and not respecting the boundaries. Quoting the same instances, the royal journalist questioned how the Sussexes are now protecting their privacy by displaying it all on global television.
