Piers Morgan has received backlash after he tweeted about Meghan Markle during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
After the traditional Trooping of the Colour ceremony, Piers took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the day’s festivities.
The 57-year-old posted a picture of Prince Louis with his hands over his ears as the RAF flypast went over their heads, causing him to scrunch up his face in discontent.
The royal family were stood on the Buckingham Palace balcony when the planes put on their display and Piers shared some snaps of the moment.
He posted them to his 7.9 million Twitter followers and quipped: “Is this when Aunty Meghan arrived?”
The controversial journalist ended his remark with laughing emojis but followers weren’t having any of his offensive comment.
One wrote that he was a “out of step with the nation” while another urged him to “stop projecting his obsession”.
Another tweeted: “You need to let it go, it has become an unhealthy infatuation”.
A quick witted user also joked that Louis was “re-enacting Piers’ crying tantrum whenever Meghan Markle ’s name is mentioned”.
However, some joined in with Piers and claimed that it had to be “the funniest tweet this year, by a long streak”.
The TalkTV host, whose show has been failing to pull in a decent viewership over the last few weeks, hit back at the fans who called him out over the quip.
He spoke to the New York Post and said: “The huge reaction to my tweet perfectly summarises public opinion to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Most people laughed because they are now global laughing stocks after their hypocritical money-grabbing, royal-bashing antics.”
The journalist continued on to say: “Meghan and Harry’s dwindling number of humourless, deluded woke fans were triggered into fury, yet again, because they genuinely believe the Sussexes are the world’s biggest victims.”
He then claimed that the opinion, “like his tweet,” was “hilarious”.
Meghan and Harry arrived in the UK with their children Archie and Lilibet ahead of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations and made their first appearance on Thursday (2 June).
