Piers Morgan has offered a blunt assessment of the Royal Family's true sentiments toward Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, claiming the royals are wary and lack trust in the couple. Speaking on The Royals Uncensored podcast, Morgan asserted that the family's wariness stems from Harry and Meghan's decision to step back from royal duties in 2020 and subsequent public disclosures.
Royal Family's Alleged Distrust
“If you're the Royal Family, I know this for a fact, there’s a lot of wariness,” Morgan said. “They don’t trust them. They just don’t trust them.” He drew a parallel between Harry and Brooklyn Beckham, suggesting that Harry's public criticisms of the monarchy mirror Beckham's recent revelations about his own family.
According to Morgan, the Duke of Sussex “is like Brooklyn Beckham is to the Beckhams,” referencing Brooklyn's damaging comments about his parents. Harry's memoir Spare and multiple interviews have detailed conflicts within the Royal Family, contributing to estrangement from his brother Prince William and a strained relationship with his father, King Charles.
Upcoming UK Visit
Harry and Meghan are scheduled to return to the UK next month with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, for a five-day trip. The family is expected to attend a one-year countdown event for the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham. Reports suggest they may stay at a royal residence and meet with King Charles, though no reunion with Prince William is anticipated.
The Royal Family has not commented on the visit, and Harry and Meghan have remained silent about their itinerary. The trip marks their first joint UK appearance since Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in September 2022.
Context of Estrangement
Morgan's remarks highlight ongoing tensions following Harry and Meghan's departure from royal life. The couple's criticisms of the monarchy, including allegations of racism and lack of support, have fueled public speculation about family dynamics. Despite the King's reported desire to reconcile, Morgan suggests deep-seated distrust remains.
The broadcaster's comments have sparked debate, with royal experts noting that the family's silence on the visit may indicate a cautious approach. The outcome of the trip could influence future relations between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family.
