In a fiery social media post, Piers Morgan has castigated Prince Harry as a ‘traitor’ in light of the recent revelation that King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer. The 58-year-old television presenter, known for his candid opinions, took to social media to share his thoughts on the situation surrounding the 75-year-old monarch’s health.
As reported by the Mirror, since the shocking news broke that King Charles is undergoing “regular treatments” for a form of cancer, Piers Morgan has been using his social media platforms to share updates and express his views. Reports quickly circulated that 39-year-old Prince Harry would fly to the UK to support his father during this challenging time, and he was spotted in London on Tuesday.
Hopes have been high that Prince Harry’s visit could potentially mend the strained relationships within the royal family, particularly between him and his father, as well as his 41-year-old brother, Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. The family dynamics have been tumultuous since Harry’s departure from the UK in 2020, coupled with public criticisms of his father, sibling, and other members of the Royal Family, as revealed in interviews and his revealing autobiography, “Spare.”
Despite the speculation about a possible reconciliation, signs of an olive branch from Prince Harry have been scarce. Recent reports have indicated that Harry met with his father but avoided any interaction with his brother, Prince William. Notably, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, did not accompany Harry on his trip to the UK, opting to stay in California with their children, Prince Archie, aged four, and Princess Lilibet, aged two.
In response to a tweet from CNN correspondent Max Foster stating, “Royal source: no plans for Prince William and Prince Harry to meet during London visit,” Piers Morgan took to Twitter to offer his interpretation, writing: “TRANSLATION: William would rather shoot himself than see his traitor brother.”
This commentary from Piers sparked a varied response from his social media followers. While some deemed his perspective harsh, others saw it as the “perfect translation” of the situation. Piers has been using his Twitter feed and TalkTV show, “Piers Morgan: Uncensored,” to discuss and critique Buckingham Palace’s handling of the situation. His show has faced mockery, being dubbed ‘Unwatched’ by some TV fans who note its apparent lack of viewership.
Piers Morgan has particularly criticised Buckingham Palace for not providing specific details about the type of cancer afflicting King Charles III. In one tweet, he expressed his dissatisfaction, stating, “It is increasingly untenable for Buckingham Palace not to say what cancer King Charles III has. Speculation is running riot all over the world. If, as I’m sure he does, Charles wants to help others, far better to be specific about his condition.” He further questioned the inconsistency of the palace, noting that they had previously disclosed specific details about the King’s recent prostate surgery but chose to keep the type of cancer a secret in the current situation
