Piers Morgan has branded Meghan Markle a ‘piece of work’ who got Prince Harry to ‘ditch his family’.
The controversial Good Morning Britain presenter unleashed a Twitter rant about the couple’s decision to step down from their royal duties.
Piers – who was previously accused of having a ‘vendetta against Meghan’ – claimed the Suits actress and her husband wanted to ‘have their cake and eat it too’.
Piers shared a news story about Meghan and Harry losing their HRH titles on social media.

Only surprised it took her so long to get Harry to ditch his family, the Monarchy, the military and his country. What a piece of work. pic.twitter.com/734AtrYsC9

Bottom line: Meghan/Harry wanted to have their cake & eat it, but the Queen just took the cake back to the royal kitchens. pic.twitter.com/v635IKyfEn

Don’t tell me Shola… by criticising a shameless piece of work who’s caused Harry to quit his country & family, am I being RACIST again? https://t.co/PPu3QgdfeV

He wrote: ‘The Queen’s told Megan/Harry to sling their part-time royal hook. Well done, Your Majesty – right decision.’
The TV host added: ‘Only surprised it took [Meghan] so long to get Harry to ditch his family, the Monarchy, the military and his country. What a piece of work.
‘The only thing Meghan’s done quickly to the Royal Family is break them up.
‘Bottom line: Meghan/Harry wanted to have their cake & eat it, but the Queen just took the cake back to the royal kitchens.’
On a positive note, this spells the death on arrival of Meghan & Harry’s plan for a ‘progressive’ new Monarchy. So they thankfully won’t be ‘woking’ the Windsors after all.

Hmmm. The only thing Meghan’s done quickly to the Royal Family is break them up. https://t.co/LymGrLLtz0

Piers then shared a quote from Lord West, the former head of navy, who said: ‘The whole situation is extremely sad, and I think it is unfortunate, after his splendid service in the military, that he will now no longer be involved with the military in the UK’.
He wrote: ‘Staggering that Harry would turn his back on the military like this.’
The ITV presenter then shared a post detailing that Harry had ‘passed the position of Captain General of the Royal Marines from his grandfather, Prince Philip, who had held it from 1953 to 2017,’ and commented: ‘Philip must be devastated.’
Piers added: ‘On a positive note, this spells the death on arrival of Meghan & Harry’s plan for a “progressive” new Monarchy.
‘So they thankfully won’t be “woking” the Windsors after all.’
The journalist was challenged over his ‘petty dislike’ of Meghan by lawyer and women’s rights activist Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, who previously clashed with him on GMB.
She tweeted: ‘For heaven’s sake @piersmorgan. Even the Queen’s inclusion of warm words for Meghan Markle triggers you.
‘Your petty dislike of Meghan is seriously boring now.
‘No offense but you really need to get over yourself. LEAVE. MEGHAN. ALONE.’
Piers hit back: ‘Don’t tell me Shola… by criticising a shameless piece of work who’s caused Harry to quit his country & family, am I being RACIST again?’
