Outspoken media personality Piers Morgan wasted no time in taking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to task as their long awaited Netflix documentary released its first episodes.
The first three episodes of the series aired across the globe on Thursday, December 8 and Morgan was more than willing to offer his criticism of the program.
Taking to Twitter, Morgan began his latest tirade by claiming that the series “is worse than Keeping Up With The Kardashians”.
“Something I didn’t think was humanly possible,” he added.
“God, they’re so boring!
“Disgusting how they’re repeatedly trying to brand Britain a racist country. Most tolerant place in Europe, as all the coverage of their engagement/wedding showed.”
The former Good Morning Britain host wasn’t done there, taking to Twitter on several more occasions to ridicule some of the claims the couple made.
‘We’ve never been allowed to tell our story until now’ ????????????????????????????????????????

‘It’s amazing what people will do when they’re offered a huge amount of money – hand over photographs to create a story’ – Prince Harry, who was paid £90 million by Netflix to hand over photos & create a story. This is so funny. #HarryandMeghanNetflix

It seemed Twitter’s platform wasn’t enough for Morgan to properly convey his displeasure with the series as he teased his review of the series for The Sun.
UPDATE: My review of this nauseatingly self-serving narcissistic rehashed whine-a-thon will drop soon on @TheSun & @nypost – in a global event. pic.twitter.com/lwtZRtXOGq

Morgan wasn’t alone in his criticism of the series, with many of his followers taking to Twitter themselves to also share their thoughts.
Agree Piers…. Attention seekers… That will eventually run its course.

Why can’t they complain about their troubles and family in private

Wants a quiet and peaceful life, yet they’ve wrote books, ditched the Royal family, went on Oprah and now to top that quiet and peaceful life they’ve made a Netflix series. Guessing there running out of money

It should come as little surprise that Morgan took issue with the documentary given that by his own admission even the trailer for the series caused him to “physically recoil in abject disgust”.
Writing a column for The Sun, the British broadcaster recently made his feelings well and truly known regarding the trailer, taking aim at what he perceived as hypocrisy on the couple’s part.
“Imagine bleating constantly about privacy, including repeatedly suing news organisations for intrusion, and then making a kiss-and-tell reality show about your private lives?,” he wrote.
“Or preaching endlessly about compassion, yet once again trashing your family on global television?
“Every time I think the Sussexes have plummeted as low as they can go, they go lower.”
