Piers Morgan expresses unusual support for Prince Harry and Meghan over Prince Andrew

He said: “Is Prince Andrew trying to weasel his way back into the Royal Family and public? This does grate on me, I have to say.”

Morgan then went on a rant calling out the Duke of York’s recent shady actions, saying: “I think if you’re going to pay a woman a rumoured $11million to make a sex abuse case go away, having said you’re going to fight it all the way to clear your name and then you just cave – I don’t think you’re entitled to just slither back into public life.”

He then went on to state that Megxit ‘pales in comparison’ to Prince Andrew’s scandals in a rare moment of him supporting Meghan and Harry.

“I do think that, for example, we give Meghan and Harry a hard time. I think justifiably, in most cases, but what they’ve done, to be honest, pales into insignificance in my opinion, to a senior member of the Royal Family paying millions of dollars to make a sex abuse case go away,” he said.

For the unversed, Morgan has been a fiercely outspoken critic of the Sussexes ever since they stepped down from their role as senior royals and relocated to the US.
