Not everyone seems to be in favor of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s reported decision to move back to the UK by the end of August, and this includes controversial journalist Piers Morgan. The former editor of the Daily Mirror recently took to social media to share his thoughts on the royal couple’s much-discussed return to Britain, posting a brief but scathing comment that was framed as a joke.
Piers Morgan has a sarcastic take on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s reported UK return
On August 19, Piers Morgan reacted to the news of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle coming back to the UK by quipping that he would consider moving to the US if this report was true.
After reposting an update about the topic on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Morgan noted, “I may have to emigrate to the U.S.” The broadcaster’s sarcastic remarks garnered a mixed response from netizens, with some users jumping to the couple’s defense while others seemed to side with Morgan.
One user wrote, “Maybe they are broke and cannot pay for their security anymore,” claiming that “they don´t just move to the UK for nothing.” Another agreed with Piers Morgan’s criticism of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s move to the UK by stating, “They need more Royal fodder to make $$$ and leverage their connections with the Royal family by moving closer to them. As soon as they get more ‘content,’ off they go again.”
Meanwhile, a supporter of the royal pair wrote, “The fixation you have with Princess Diana, Harry, Megan and the children is bizarre and sickening.” A second Prince Harry sympathizer stated, “Let’s think about others’ mental health and what continuous hounding, hate, abuse and bullying can do. Leave them alone now, please.”
Latest reports have suggested that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have decided to cut their exile from the UK short by returning to the country. If true, the duo would be staying in a private home instead of moving into a royal residence. Additionally, Prince Harry and his wife will continue to hold their titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex, respectively, without any royal responsibilities.
