‘Less classy than Kardashian­s’: critics lash ’hypocrites’

- DANIELLE GUSMAROLI IN LONDON

FIREBRAND television personalit­y Piers Morgan has taken another vicious swipe at the Duchess of Sussex, branding her Netflix documentar­y “dull” and “less classy” than The Kardashian­s reality show.

Meghan Markle’s fiercest critic used his UK show Uncensored to launch a volley of attacks against the former

Suits star calling her “obnoxious, self-serving and hypocritic­al” and persistent­ly referring to Diana’s legacy to evoke public sympathy.

“She and Diana have nothing in common at all, as for compassion, she hasn’t even spoken to her father. Harry, Mr Empathy, Mr Compassion, hasn’t met his father-in-law,” he said.

“This show is packed with spurious hypocrisy that has become the Sussexes’ signature.”

“The pair of them are horribly rich, entitled and narcissist­ic.

“According to this documentar­y, we’ve apparently been wrong all along,” he said.

“Britain is a nasty racist hellhole and only Magnificen­t Meghan stood up to all this and the world’s biggest victims are not the people of Ukraine, or the people battling Covid, or people struggling in a devastatin­g crisis. Now the world’s biggest victims right now are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”

Morgan branded Markle a “ruthless social climber” for ignoring her father who is recovering from a stroke citing the Prince’s comment in the series that “Meghan has no father.”

The Duchess disowned her father Thomas Senior Markle, her half-brother Thomas Junior and half-sister Samantha after she began dating Prince

Harry.

“It’s horrible to say she has no father, the documentar­y is so far off on so many different levels,” Thomas Junior told Morgan.

“It’s really a little bit disturbing saying that she doesn’t have a family and she doesn’t have a father.

“I actually reached out and all I got back was a distant family and that she didn’t know us … very bizarre.”.
