On Wednesday, “Good Morning Britain” host Piers Morgan ripped Great Britain’s Prince Harry after comments Harry reportedly made during a phone call with two hoaxers who pretended to be teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg and her father were released.
Harry reportedly stated:
I think the mere fact that Donald Trump is pushing the coal industry is so big in America, he has blood on his hands … The effect that [Trump’s coal policy] has on the climate and the island nations far, far away, again out of sight, out of mind … But we’ve visited those places and I’m sure you have as well. People’s lives have been completely destroyed. People are dying every single month by some form of natural disaster created from this huge change in our climate.
Harry also allegedly said:
As we all know, the world’s problems seem to be getting bigger and seem to be happening far quicker . . . I think the solutions are far quicker to enable as well, but there needs to be a real shift in mindset. We try and do our best. I’ve spent many, many years being criticized by the media for doing all sorts of things and trying to change the way we think, um, and I can sympathize but at the same time applaud the work that all of you are doing because it’s not an easy time and the world is a troubled place and can be very easy to give up and I think what you guys are doing is absolutely remarkable. Unfortunately, the world is being led by some very sick people, so people like yourselves and younger generation are the ones that are going to make all the difference.
Morgan commented, “It’s one long whine, he seems very unhappy about almost everything. It’s very defensive; it’s very aggressive about the media, about other things. It’s very woke and it’s all about I’m here to save the world with my wife; it’s us against the world; it’s us against everybody. There’s something going on; there’s an inner turmoil with Harry which comes through in this hoax story. Look, he got hoaxed; I’m not going to blame him for being hoaxed by someone he thought was Greta Thunberg.”
The Daily Mail reported that Morgan continued, “We shouldn’t judge him on a hoax call but it’s indicative of his kind of mindset … It reveals a kind of mindset about Harry which is kind of sad …” Morgan reportedly continued, “Why is that any different to 50-100 years ago. They are speaking to a young woke progressive ear. Twitter is the young woke brigade … If Harry and Meghan’s role is to now parachute themselves back into the royal world for select events where they are superstars … Where does that leave the comparatively boring royals behind?”
Last July, Morgan slammed Harry’s wife Meghan Markle on “Good Morning Britain” for having an “obsession” with privacy, snapping:
This is so ridiculous, this obsession that her and Harry have about privacy. It’s rankly hypocritical and they’re not private people, they’re the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. We get to pay for their mansion; we get to do all of this … If you want to be private, go back to America and live privately, it’s pretty straightforward.
