Piers Morgan has said that ‘younger royals’ need to start behaving more like the late Prince Philip and ‘stop whining’.
In his column for the Daily Mail, the 56-year-old said that the Duke of Edinburgh had many admirable traits, including being ‘tough, uncompromising, stoic, and resolutely silent in public about the myriad scandals’.
Morgan wrote: “In many ways, she [the Queen] was very similar to Prince Philip: tough, uncompromising, stoic, and resolutely silent in public about the myriad scandals that have engulfed the Royal Family.

“They had both had very strong opinions, they just preferred not to share them outside of the family and close, trusted friends.”
But when sharing his thoughts, in typical Piers fashion, the TV presenter couldn’t help but take a dig at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Referencing the couple’s explosive Oprah Winfrey interview, the former Good Morning Britain host said the couple was ‘wallowing in self-pity and complaining about their regally gilded lives’.
He continued: “But many of the younger royals that followed them have behaved very differently – emoting on television, playing the victim, wallowing in self-pity, complaining about their regally gilded lives, and getting themselves into all manner of lurid scrapes that have damaged the family’s reputation.”
In the Winfrey interview, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex slammed the Royal Family.
Markle alleged to the American TV host that there had been ‘conversations and concerns’ about Archie’s skin colour before he was born.

When Winfrey asked if she was referring to her son being ‘too brown’, the 39-year-old responded: “If that is the assumption you are making, that is a pretty safe one.”
After watching the interview, Morgan slammed the allegations on GMB. He said he ‘didn’t believe a word’ Markle had to say.
