His Twitter rant

Piers Morgan on his official Twitter account posted few tweets against the couple saying they should not play the victim. He said that he never read a more savage attack on the press than the one by Harry and Meghan. He also said that the Prince should "clamber off his hysterical hothead press-hating high horse and make peace with his wife's father, the man he never met in his life." In another tweet, he called the action by the royal couple a bad PR move while they enjoyed their best week in the press in the last few months. In another tweet, he said that the country has the best press in the world which is usually attacked by the ones who use it the most to advance themselves.

Twitter reactions to his tweets

A user wrote to Morgan saying that the couple should have included him in the lawsuit since he is one of the biggest bullies. The user went on to say that he is a part of the reason why the two are doing this and hopes that they come for him and his colleagues. Another user wrote that Kate suffered a lot for years because of the harassment and criticism but she never complained about it to her husband William or blamed the country, public or press for it. A third user commented saying it is the racist bullying by the publication as it hates her. He further said that it started her family by taking advantage of their hillybilly ways or about her being of a mixed race.
