Piers Morgan has lashed out yet again at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, labelling them “spoilt brats” and suggesting they waited a mere “100 minutes” after Kate’s cancer announcement to promote their new show. In his Uncensored column, the forthright ex-GMB presenter remarked: “The gap was only 100 minutes, but it might as well have been 100 light years.”

He pointed out that Princess Kate shared a video discussing her cancer journey at 4.29pm on Monday, while Netflix dropped a trailer for a documentary series produced by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex about Polo at 6.09pm the same day. Piers, aged 59, added: “Of course, it may just have been a stupendous coincidence but if you believe that, then I’ve got some very dodgy old Ford Cortinas to sell you.”

He asserted that the timing of the announcements starkly highlighted the contrasting paths of the two couples, stating: “One thing is indisputable, and it’s that the separate announcements perfectly encapsulated the very different lives of these two couples now.”

He lavished praise on Kate and William while drawing comparisons between them and the Sussexes, commenting: “One, featuring the heir to the throne and his health-stricken wife, was an extraordinarily moving, humble, and profoundly inspiring insight into what it’s like to have a life-threatening illness when you have a loving young family, regardless of wealth or status.”

The commentator launched a withering critique of Meghan and Harry’s recent actions, asserting: “The other, featuring two spoiled brat renegades who ditched royal duty and service for a life of self-enriching Hollywood glitz and glamour, was a nauseatingly ill-timed self-promotional plug for a series about a sport so elite only millionaires can play it.”

He further lambasted their timing, claiming: “Regardless of whether Meghan and Harry deliberately rushed out their promo to try to spoil Kate and William’s big announcement, or just to capitalise on the megaton-sized global attention it instantly received, it landed like a plop of unwanted pigeon poop on a pavement.”

This comes as the Duchess of Cambridge released personal video footage revealing intimate moments with her husband Prince William and their three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. In the heartfelt three-minute clip, which was shared last night, Kate boldly disclosed that she has “finally completed” her preventative chemotherapy, marking the end of a challenging nine-month period, reports the Express.

The Princess of Wales described finishing her cancer treatment as a huge “relief” and spoke candidly about her ongoing path to staying cancer-free.

In this brave update, the Duchess talked optimistically about the future, stating with newfound determination: “I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can. Despite all that has gone before, I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.”

She also shared a heartfelt message for others battling cancer, saying: “William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.”

“To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.”
