Piers Morgan questions Harry & Meghan after 'making Queen's life more difficult'

Piers Morgan did not hold back on Monday evening as he discussed the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on his Talk TV show.

The former Good Morning Britain host described the day and ceremony as 'breathtaking' as he paid tribute to the late monarch as well as everyone involved in the service.

Opening his show, he said: "Well that was magic wasn't it? I mean I've been to a lot of events in my time but I've never been to anything like what happened in London today.

"It was the single most spine-tingling, extraordinary extravaganza of pomp, pageantry and remembrance, commemoration and celebration of this unique woman. London felt like the centre of the world, emperors, presidents, Kings and Queens, hundreds and thousands of mourners, pilgrims, lining the streets," Piers continued.

However, it wasn't long until Piers mentioned Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle - who were both in attendance.

"I just think they should stop talking about the royals. They've left the country, they've left royal duty," he said.

"They apparently wanted freedom and privacy and yet all they do is constantly give interviews or public statements or podcasts or books, whatever it may be, in which they trash their family and the monarchy.

"And at some point you've gotta think, 'why are you doing this? How are you getting happiness or freedom by continuing to do it?'"

He then claimed: "They made the Queen's life more difficult in the last few years. Philip had died and she was in ill health, she must have been hating what they were doing to the brand of the royal family.

"So I just don't get what their endgame is other than enriching themselves, but at what cost of their happiness?"

Suggesting things could have been different had they not left the UK, Piers added: "The real shame of it is, if they had just carried on in the same vein as they did up to their wedding, I think they would have been very popular and quite beloved members of the family and could now be real weapons for King Charles to take the monarchy forward with a slightly more youthful and diverse way."

He then added: "As it is, they're sort of running this rival Royal family over in California and it's causing constant friction."
