Piers Morgan claims Harry and Meghan ‘should be stopped’ as they prepare for Colombia tour

Outspoken media personality Piers Morgan has joined the growing number of commentators criticising Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for their upcoming trip to Colombia, asking “why is this being allowed to happen?”.

Never one to shy away from taking a swipe at the controversial pair, Morgan used a column with The Sun to air his grievances over the couple’s upcoming jaunt.

“Meghan and Harry aren’t real royals these days,” he began.

“They don’t do any actual duties for the institution which conferred their titles on them — they just line their pockets with cash in America by constantly trashing their families, and the monarchy, in the media.

“So, what gives them the right to prance around the world pretending to be proper  royals, on quasi- official visits?

“There are so many things wrong about this.

“But what I’m most annoyed about is the Sussexes’ delusion that they can somehow operate as a rival royal family on the global stage, enjoying all the benefits from that regal status but without any need to fulfil their obligations to their King and country.

“They should be stopped.”

Morgan isn’t the only one to take issue with Harry and Meghan’s travel plans, recently royal author Angela Levin expressed her displeasure with the couple’s trip, criticising the pair after Harry’s insistence on the dangers posed to his family should they return to the UK, citing specific threats that he believes make it too risky for Meghan to travel back to his homeland.

Levin questioned how he reconciles this concern with a trip to Colombia, where the UK Foreign Office currently advises against all but essential travel to certain areas of the South American country.

“It is dangerous there [Colombia] at the moment”, she told GB News.

“There is a lot of people being taken away and money being demanded for them to be returned.

“It is really ridiculous and it conforms to my long term suggestion that they tried to manipulate the King.

“To have three court cases on the Home Office and saying security is why he won’t bring his wife and children when really it’s a nonsense.

“He would be well looked after with good protection, but not the very top of the tree which is just for Camilla, Charles, William and Catherine.”
