Piers Morgan clashes with Susanna Reid as he slams 'pathetic' and 'whiny' Prince Harry during seething GMB rant

Piers Morgan slammed Prince Harry during an explosive rant on GMB this morning, labelling him as 'pathetic' and 'whiny'.

It comes after the Duke of Sussex made a speech last night during a private dinner for his charity Sentebale, announcing how him and Meghan were stepping down from their royal duties with "great sadness".

He also went on to add how there was "no other option" and admits his decision was not one he made "lightly".

Unsurprisingly, Piers had a lot to say about Harry's speech and took to his usual Good Morning Britain newsdesk to vent his anger.

"He had a choice," Piers said. "Let's be quite clear. Prince Harry had a choice - do your duty, like everybody else in the royal family, and get all the palaces and all the servants-"

Firing back at her co-host, Susanna then started questioning Piers reasoning and said that she "didn't understand" how Harry's speech was "whiny".

"Yes, so he's decided to give up all the palaces and the servants and the royal funding and he wants to have a more peaceful life." Susanna said. "And I don't know why you have to keep having a go at him!"

It didn't take long before the duo were engaged in a seriously fiery argument as they butted heads over Harry's decision to step down.

Piers then sarcastically added: "Oh, poor Harry!"

Clearly annoyed, Susanna hit back: "Why do you have to act like that?"

"Oh, because it's pathetic." Piers said.

Susanna interjected: "It's not pathetic!"

Piers continued: "When you say 'why don't we leave them alone?' he literally made a speech last night whining again!"

"He wasn't whining" Susanna added.

Members of public react to Harry and Meghan quitting royal duties

Lots of viewers watching from home took to social media to join in on the discussion, with some agreeing with Piers while others took Susanna's side.

One viewer tweeted: "Try not to let Susanna discourage you Piers! Keep up the good work LOVE your honesty and sharing what us real people think."

Another agreed: "I'm with Piers on this one, think Susanna is edging her bets so not to offend them"

"Totally agree with piers, susanna totally wrong." A third wrote.

Meanwhile, a fourth took Susanna's side, tweeting: "I'm with Susanna on this one, let them get on with it #PrinceHarry".
