Good Morning Britain's Piers Morgan tore into Prince Harry on Monday after the royal and his wife Meghan Markle laid a wreath for Remembrance Sunday.
He reported that Prince Harry, who served in the armed forces, asked Buckingham Palace to lay a wreath in the Cenotaph in his name on Sunday, but they refused.
Instead, Harry and Meghan, who live in LA, laid a wreath at Los Angeles National cemetery with the message: "To all of those who have served, and are serving. Thank you".
Piers slammed the couple for hiring photographer to picture the event, calling it a "distasteful PR stunt" that "stuck in his gullet".
"Why wouldn't he want to show his respect when he has such a strong connection?" asked Susanna Reid.
"Why do it with a photographer?" asked Piers.
"Because if you don't do it with a photographer, no one will know what you've done it!" argued Susanna.
"Oh please, do me a favour, he could have issued a statement," shot back Piers.
"They launched a PR stunt with a preferred photographer to take the attention away from the royals back in London... Because they felt thwarted."
As Susanna called Piers "bitter" for his comment, he added: "They want their royal cake and they want to eat it.
Viewers were furious at Piers for his comments as many tweeted to defend Harry.
One wrote: " #piersmorgan #GMB Shut up Piers you’re wrong .... Prince Harry would be dammed if he did damned if he didn’t.....".
Another ranted: "Piers you’ve seriously got something wrong with you. There was nothing wrong with what Harry did.
"Only people who have a problem with him thinks there his. A veteran pays his respects to the war dead. That’s all it was. Get over yourself fgs. #GMB ".
A third added: "Piers 100% with Harry on this one.
"He has every right to lay a wreath and let everyone know he is showing his respect. #MeghanAndHarry #HarryandMeghan #GMB ".
A fourth said: “That's unfair Piers. He was denied the chance to have a wreath at the Cenotaph and did the next best thing.”
