Piers Morgan has revealed the blunt names he uses to refer to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry discussed the Duchess of Sussex's latest podcast appearance. The TV presenter is one of the couple's most vocal critics, particularly after he left his six-figure salary at ITV following a disagreement about Meghan with weather forecaster Alex Beresford.
Piers famously stated that he did not "believe a word" Meghan said after she alleged that two senior members of The Royal Family had exhibited racism. This claim led to a heated on-screen argument with Alex, after which Piers walked off the set of Good Morning Britain.In a tweet on Tuesday, Piers shared a news article from The New York Post that revealed "why Meghan and Harry call themselves H and M".
He responded: "Moaner and Hypocrite?"
His brutal commentary sparked a flurry of responses from his followers, as some shared their dismay over Meghan using titles that the late Queen Elizabeth II asked them not to use.
One wrote: "I hate that she still uses the titles. Disrespectful. No one thinks of her as royal; they never will! The Royals work incredibly hard & when you become a member of the Royal Family, you give your life in service. She invited celebs she didn’t know to her wedding, RED FLAG NO.1." (sic)
A second added, "Sometimes you can tell when nicknames sound overly forced and are just plain cheesy. "H and M are prime examples of that."
However, some questioned why Piers continues to speak about them in a negative light on social media. A third shared, "Piers' weird obsession with Meghan continues." Another typed, "I bet they smile living rent-free in your head."
The Duchess discussed motherhood, marriage, and everything in between during an appearance on her friend and IT Cosmetics founder Jamie Kern Lima’s podcast, “The Jamie Kern Lima Show,” on Monday.
When her pal asked her to explain the sweet nicknames, the Suits actress recalled that the duo first started referring to each other that way during the early days of their romance.
“Probably at the beginning of us dating, when everything was in code,” she said, referring to their dating stage in 2016 when they had to keep things under wraps.
