Piers Morgan attacks his favorite target, Prince Harry, again.
As you probably know, Morgan has been lashing out at Harry for years. but he is In fact intensified hate rhetoric in recent months.
In May, the firebrand implored King Charles to strip Harry and Meghan Markle of their royal titles.

Soon after, Morgan doubled down by criticizing Harry as a “greedy traitor” in one of his trademark rants.
So it’s no surprise that Morgan has set her sights on Harry once again this week. But his latest argument against the Duke of Sussex might be his most ridiculous yet.
Harry’s newest project
Harry took a trip to New York City this week for the Clinton World Initiative, where he spoke about his latest passion project, the Archewell Foundation Parent Pink.

The organization seeks to help parents concerned about their children’s social media consumption.
The network was launched with the help of parents whose children ended their own lives in response to online bullying.
“While we encourage both young people and parents, we must also hold digital platforms accountable,” Harry said at the Clinton Initiative. “Surely none of us want to live in a world where there are no consequences or responsibility.”
We find this a quite admirable statement. But for some reason, old Piers took offense.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Morgan shared footage of Harry’s speech and commented:
“Do you have any advice on how today’s family can be protected from the harmful effects of people who abuse them in books, Netflix docs, podcasts, and television interviews with Oprah?”
Morgan was obviously throwing shade at Harry’s memoir, as well as his other recent media ventures.

Once again, Morgan’s disdain for Harry is nothing new. But it’s shocking that you can take an initiative to prevent child suicide and turn it into an excuse to spew vitriol.
Why exactly does Morgan hate the Duke and Duchess of Sussex so much? Well, Harry might have an explanation.
Harry’s theory
In 2019, Harry filed the first of several lawsuits against numerous British tabloid media companies.
He alleged that the Mirror Group had participated in the illegal collection of information. Harry now believes that Morgan’s attacks in the years since are a result of this lawsuit.

In a 2023 statement to the UK High Court, Harry said:
“Unfortunately, as a result of making my Mirror Group claim, both myself and my wife have been subjected to a barrage of horrific personal attacks and intimidation from Piers Morgan, who was the editor of the Daily Mirror between 1995 and 2004. presumably in retaliation and in hopes of backing down, before we can properly hold him accountable for his illegal activity toward both me and my mother during his editorial tenure.”
The explanation makes a lot of sense.
But as Morgan has demonstrated countless times in the past, jealousy and a desperate desire to remain relevant are motivation enough for him to spout outrageous nonsense.
