Piers Morgan has told Prince Harry to ‘man up and shut up’ on Twitter.
The 56-year-old, who quit his job at Good Morning Britain after refusing to apologise for comments he made about Meghan Markle, hit out at the Duke of Sussex on Twitter shortly after the release of his new Apple TV+ documentary, The Me You Can’t See.
He wrote: “Oh FFS. Is there no end to Prince Privacy’s victimhood tour?

“Constantly abusing his family, knowing they can’t respond, is so pathetic & cowardly. Man up, Harry – and shut up.”
A few moments later he hit out at him again, writing: “What ’empathy’ is Harry showing his family as he constantly trashes them in public?
“It’s grotesquely unfair (they can’t answer back) outrageously hypocritical, and he’s making millions from doing it. THAT’S appalling.”
Morgan infamously stormed offset the morning after Prince Harry and Markle’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey aired.
He landed himself in hot water when he accused the Duchess of lying about having suicidal thoughts when she was pregnant with Archie.
Markle told Oprah: “Look, I was really ashamed to have to say at the time and ashamed to have to admit it to Harry especially. But I knew that if I didn’t say that I would do it.”
She then added: “I just didn’t want to be alive anymore.”
However, Morgan attacked her, saying: “If I said I now believed Meghan, I would be lying to the audience, the very thing I’ve accused her of doing.”
He later revealed he was told to apologise for his comments but refused to due to his strong belief in ‘freedom of speech’.
“ITV’s Director of Television rang to say we were now ‘on the cliff edge’ and either I apologised or I would have to leave GMB,” he wrote in his Daily Mail column at the time. “One [friend] thought I should just apologise, take the hit and move on. The other was emphatic: don’t apologise.”
