Piers has just written this op-ed, in his continuing campaign tro STOP this duo
You might think it’s the poor people of Ukraine as they’re bombed, shot and raped by Putin’s invading barbarians.
Or those who lives have been ruined by the Covid pandemic that continues to cause widespread death and long-term illness.
Or the millions battling crippling financial hardship in a devastating cost-of-living crisis that has swept the globe.
But no. The world’s biggest victims are in fact Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, a pair of incredibly rich, stupendously privileged, horribly entitled narcissists.
If you don’t believe me, just ask them!
Or better still, force yourself to sit through the first three instalments of their nauseatingly self-aggrandising Netflix whine-a-thon.
But be warned: you’ll need a sick bucket, tissues for when you laugh so uproariously (not for reasons our heroic freedom-fighting duo intended…) that tears stream down your face, and a very high boredom threshold.
Compared to their Oprah moan, which dropped mostly untrue ‘truth bombs’ like a machine-gun, this was a predictable, cliché-ridden, simperingly sycophantic snooze-fest that fuelled their wearily familiar narrative of a cruelly oppressed couple driven out of Britain by a nasty racist media, nasty racist Royal Family, and nasty racist public.
All of this is a disgusting lie.
Harry and Meghan’s romance, engagement and marriage were all greeted with ecstatic joy by the three groups they now accuse of being vile bigots.
I know because I was in Britain at the time, and on their wedding day, I wrote this in a newspaper: ‘A biracial woman from America, marrying into the world’s most famous white family. It’s hard to overstate the significance of this ceremony, beamed live around the world, to black people everywhere. To borrow the words of Dr King, this was a day when little black girls could watch TV and genuinely share little white girls’ long-held dreams of one day marrying a Prince.’
That epitomised what most people thought at the time, and the media coverage was almost universally positive.
Yet in the Netflix series, Meghan now says the press were merciless in their efforts to bring her down.
‘Truth be told,’ she says, ‘no matter how hard I tried, no matter how good I was, no matter what I did... they were still going to find a way to destroy me.’
Oh please.
The media, including me, only turned negative on Meghan and Harry after they married and their behaviour grew increasingly hypocritical as they preached poverty in tweets on the day she held a $500,000 baby-shower in New York, used Elton John’s private plane like a taxi service as they lectured us on reducing our carbon footprints, and pleaded to be left alone as they gave prime-time TV interviews.
Nobody ‘destroyed’ Meghan Markle.
As this series shows, she very quickly abandoned often dull royal duty to take her handsome British prince back to America to live a life of luxury in a California mansion from where they now earn gazillions of dollars trashing their families in the very media they profess to despise, ruthlessly exploiting the royal titles afforded them by the institution of the Monarchy that they constantly attack.
