We knew it would only be a matter of time ’til Piers Morgan shared his latest (yet seemingly consistent) opinion about Prince Harry with the world. The 57-year-old former Good Morning Britain presenter has once again slammed the 37-year-old Duke of Sussex, who has just been in the Netherlands for the Invictus Games, which he founded back in 2014 to aid the rehabilitation of wounded military servicemen and servicewomen.
Naturally, Morgan’s opinions came in the form of a Twitter post on April 18th, when he re-tweeted a Daily Mail article titled: “Prince Harry says he ‘will never, ever, ever rest’ until he has made world a ‘better, more equal place’ for Archie and Lilibet,” and added, “More equal?” His somewhat rhetorical question was only the beginning of Morgan’s latest rant, as he added: “A spoiled privileged prince who inherited millions & now makes 100s of millions fleecing his royal titles from his $11m Californian mansion wants EQUALITY for his kids?” followed by three crying laughing emojis.

The Daily Mail article in question featured an interview Prince Harry did with child reporters aged between 11 and 12 at the Invictus Games, where he said, “I don’t think that we should be bringing children into the world unless we’re going to make that commitment to make it better for them. We cannot steal your future.” Interestingly, many people quickly jumped to Prince Harry’s defense in the comments section to Morgan’s tweet, with one user writing: “At least he is doing by setting up different charities and supporting them. No one person can change the world but at least he’s doing what he believes will make it a better place for ALL kids, which is what he actually said. Piers, what are you doing to make the world better?”
“Harry is rising above the Noise. That’s a good father right there,” another Twitter user wrote, followed by the clapping hands emoji, and then added, “Give it a rest Piers.” Another quipped, “You’ve gotta get over the fact Meghan has ghosted you,” followed by a crying laughing emoji, while another Twitter user tried to simplify Prince Harry’s message for the journalist and other people, writing: “He wants a world that’s more equal for everyone. For future generations, for children growing up now. That’s a world he wants his children to see.”
"Think you are missing the point, the guy has a huge platform and is using it for good, how many other privileged people are doing that? Crazy how you just don’t get it," someone else wrote. However, many other Twitter users agreed with the former Britain's Got Talent judge, with one writing, "Anyone who lives in a $11m house can not lecture anyone on equality," in reference to Harry and Meghan's home in Montecito, California.
"Exactly what I thought - he could start by giving his unearned riches to charity," wrote another, while someone else added, "Do you know this statement really makes me laugh. What have they done since relocating to USA to make the world a better place?...mmmm well basically NOTHING.They had concentrated on their energies on making their own world a better place generating more money for themselves only." Someone else said: "If he truly wants equality he has to first live it himself by no longer rely on titles and privilege. Doubt very much he’ll be giving up his millions and privilege - hypocritical to say the least."
