Piers Morgan has once again unleashed his fury on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, seizing the opportunity to criticize them following what he perceives as an ill-timed Netflix announcement. On Monday, September 9, just hours after a heartfelt video about Kate Middleton’s battle with cancer was released by the royal family, Netflix dropped a promo for Polo, a new docuseries produced by the Sussexes, told The Mirror.
The three-minute video from the Prince and Princess of Wales showcased intimate family moments as Kate Middleton continues her fight against cancer, drawing praise for its warmth and humanity. However, just an hour and forty minutes later, Netflix took to social media to announce the upcoming Polo series, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at the elite world of the sport.
The timing of the two announcements didn’t sit well with Piers Morgan, who penned a scathing op-ed in The Sun, accusing the Sussexes of overshadowing Kate’s emotional video. “It may just have been a stupendous coincidence,” Morgan admitted, but added, “If you believe that, then I’ve got some very dodgy old Ford Cortinas to sell you.” He went on to call the announcement “a nauseatingly ill-timed self-promotional plug.”
Morgan didn’t stop there, accusing Meghan and Harry of abandoning royal duties for a life of “Hollywood glitz and glamour.” He labeled them as “two spoiled brat renegades” who had traded service for fame. While it’s unlikely that the Sussexes had any direct control over the timing of Netflix’s post, Morgan insisted that the Polo promo “landed like a plop of unwanted pigeon poop on a pavement”, according to the Express.
Piers Morgan’s obsession with Meghan Markle has been ongoing for years, and his relentless criticism has cost him dearly—he famously left his job after refusing to back down from his attacks on her. His latest tirade is just another chapter in his ongoing vendetta against the Duchess of Sussex.
Whether intentional or not, the timing of the Polo docuseries announcement has sparked yet another round of controversy, and Morgan wasted no time capitalizing on it to unleash his fury on Meghan and Harry once again.
