Piers Morgan has once again criticized Meghan Markle in his recent newspaper column, where he referred to her as a desperate reality TV star following her antics on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
In a scathing review for the Daily Mail, Piers took aim at the Duchess of Sussex for engaging in a series of embarrassing pranks during the show’s segment meant to promote her new children’s book, The Bench.
During the segment, Meghan Markle, a former senior royal, was seen carrying out various embarrassing tasks on the streets while receiving instructions from Ellen through a hidden microphone.
Piers did not hold back in his critique, comparing the behavior of Meghan and Ellen to a cringe-inducing collision between two of the world’s most narcissistic and fake female celebrities.
In his column, Piers expressed his discomfort, stating that watching the duo giggle and stroke each other’s egos during the show was enough to make him feel nauseous.
He highlighted that both Meghan and Ellen have faced accusations of bullying behavior towards their staff when not in front of the cameras, despite their public personas as kind and charitable figures.
Piers further criticized Meghan’s willingness to leverage her royal status for financial gain without fulfilling any official duties, while also taking jabs at her appearance on the show where she was made to partake in embarrassing stunts such as squatting, holding a crystal to her head, and tasting hot sauce.
The former Good Morning Britain presenter emphasized the unsuitability of such behavior for a member of the British royal family, particularly Prince Harry‘s wife, who is sixth in line to the throne.
He argued that such actions not only made Meghan appear ridiculous but also reflected poorly on the British monarchy as a whole.
Piers condemned the stunts as puerile and embarrassing, suggesting that they would even be beneath reality TV stars like the Kardashians.
He reiterated that royals are expected to maintain a certain level of dignity and regal demeanor in order to uphold the mystique that surrounds the monarchy.
While Piers’ criticism was sharp, supporters of Meghan Markle took to Twitter to express their amusement and admiration for her participation in the show’s antics.
Some fans found humor in Meghan’s willingness to engage in playful activities, with one fan describing her actions as the “wackiest thing a royal has ever done.”
Despite differing opinions on Meghan’s appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, it is evident that her playful demeanor and willingness to participate in comedic skits have sparked a range of reactions from both critics and admirers alike.
The debate surrounding the appropriateness of her behavior continues to divide opinions among audiences worldwide.
