Piers Morgan Tells Duchess Meghan to ‘Stop Whining’ And ‘Do Your Duty’

Piers Morgan has harsh words for Duchess Meghan Markle amid her legal battle with the British media. In simple terms? Stop whining about it all. 

“I think Meghan Markle needs to stop whining, period,” the English journalist told Us Weekly at the British Academy Britannia Awards.

“I think she’s an actress whining too much. I say that with great respect. But the most successful members of the royal family, the queen, the queen’s mother, the most beloved always understood, you never explain, you never complain, you do your duty and everyone loves you. The moment you start yapping away moaning about everything, people go, ‘Hang on, you’re living at our expensive palaces, with servants.’ So maybe get a better sense of reality.”

As we all know, Meghan has opened up about her struggle to adjust to royal life in the documentary Harry & Meghan: An African Journey. 

“It’s a lot,” she explained in the film, as we previously reported. “So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom and trying to be a newlywed … And also thank you for asking, because not many people have asked if I’m OK, but it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes.”

Funny enough, Piers claimed to be close with Meghan in the past.

“I knew her quite well. And like a lot of people, she dropped me as soon as — she stopped looking at me the moment she met Prince Harry and she’s done that to a lot of people,” he told the outlet.

“I just think she’s somebody who is laser focused on becoming a member of the royal family and has discovered that you can’t be a celebrity actress playing that game if you’re a member of the royal family. It’s not how it works. … In Britain, the members of the whole family are almost all the civil list. Their houses get paid for by us. Their security is paid for by us, the taxpayers. And with that comes a sense of duty. And I don’t think Meghan Markle’s quite worked out what duty involves. She’s too busy trying to be a celebrity, lecturing us all how to lead our lives and it’s just not a very clever move.”
