Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have recently been awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for their efforts in speaking out against structural racism within the royal family.
However, not everyone is pleased with this recognition.
Piers Morgan, the host of Piers Morgan Uncensored, expressed his disapproval of the couple receiving such a prestigious honor.
During an episode of Fox and Friends on November 21st, Morgan labeled the award as “absolutely disgusting” and criticized Kerry Kennedy, the president of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organization, for tarnishing her father’s name and memory.
He went on to call Harry and Meghan “grifters” who exploited their royal titles for personal gain, while abandoning their royal duties and Britain itself.
Morgan further expressed his disdain for the couple being hailed as heroes in America, particularly by the Kennedys, whom he referred to as America’s own version of the royal family.
He believed that such recognition epitomizes the problems with modern celebrity culture, where individuals go out of their way to publicly criticize their own families.
The talk show host also commented on the couple’s ongoing attacks against the monarchy.
He mentioned Prince Harry’s upcoming book, in which he is expected to share more about his experiences, including his relationship with his father, who is now the king.
Morgan accused Meghan Markle, a former actress, of marrying into the royal family to gain fame and subsequently spending her time attacking the institution.
Morgan’s criticisms did not stop there.
In October, he accused the Sussexes of trying to steal the spotlight from other members of the royal family when they released their official photographs just days after others did.
He called Harry and Meghan “B-list wannabes” who use their royal status to make money by constantly criticizing the royal family.
Morgan warned that King Charles, who is mourning the death of his mother, Princess Diana, may be growing increasingly impatient with Harry and Meghan.
He questioned how many more times the couple can publicly complain about their family before people stop listening and speculated on whether the king will continue to tolerate their behavior.
The host suggested that the release of Harry’s memoir and the Sussexes’ upcoming Netflix docuseries will determine their future roles within the royal family.
He believes these projects will likely contain further criticism of the royals and could be the tipping point for King Charles to distance himself from the couple.
In conclusion, Piers Morgan’s strong disapproval of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle receiving the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award reflects his belief that they are exploiting their royal titles for personal gain while constantly attacking the monarchy.
He questions the credibility of the award and suggests that the couple’s future relationship with the royal family may be at stake.
