Piers Morgan claims he’s being ‘exploited’ by Harry and Meghan documentary

Critics have labelled the GB News presenter ‘obsessed’ for his past criticisms of Meghan

Piers Morgan has claimed that he is being “exploited” by the forthcoming Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan.

The series, which is being released in two parts this month, follows Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and sees them address their sensational falling out with the royal family.

Morgan’s voice can be heard in the first trailer for Harry & Meghan, which dropped on Monday (5 December).

In it, he can be heard saying that Markle is “becoming a royal rock star”.

Writing on Twitter, Morgan said: “Princess Pinocchio & Prince Hypocrite use my voice to flog their ghastly new series.

“I’m traumatised by this exploitation.”

He made reference to a “lie” in an earlier teaser for the series, in which a stock image of paparazzi cameras – reportedly photographed at a Harry Potter premiere in 2011 – was used to illustrate the media attention facing the royal couple.

“These two wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped them round their latte-encrusted tiaras,” Morgan wrote.

In the trailer for the series, Harry is filmed saying that there is a “war against Meghan”, describing it as a “dirty game”.

“Says the guy waging a relentless vicious public war against his own family. Harry’s such a deluded spoiled manipulated brat,” wrote Morgan.

Morgan has been a frequent critic of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in recent years. His time as a presenter on the ITV morning series Good Morning Britain came to an end after he stormed off-air following a much-criticised rant aimed at Meghan.

Harry and Meghan had then recently conducted an interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which Meghan stated that she had experienced suicidal thoughts while living as a royal. Morgan suggested on air that he did not believe Meghan’s claims.

The former News of the World editor has subsequently faced pushback for his repeated criticisms of Meghan on social media and TV, with critics describing him as “obsessed”.

Volume one of Harry & Meghan will be available on Thursday 8 December, with volume two to follow next week (Thursday 15 December).
