Piers Morgan has blasted Prince Harry for "publicly dishonouring" his father King Charles III since stepping down from his role as a senior working royal.
Former Good Morning Britain star Piers, 57, has shared his scathing views over the Duke of Sussex in his recent statement following the Queen's death on Thursday September, 8.
Following the news of Queen Elizabeth II's death, 37-year-old Harry released a statement to pay tribute to the Queen and the new King Charles, 73.
In a statement shared on Harry and his wife Meghan Markle's Archewell website, Harry said: "We now honour my father in his new role as King Charles III."
But now, Piers has said Harry's tribute to his dad carries "enormous significance" after the Duke of Sussex has spoken of his rift with his father since leaving the UK and his role as a senior working royal.
Piers wrote in a column with the New York Post: "Twelve short words, but ones that carry enormous significance coming from the man who has spent the past two years publicly dishonouring his father."
Meanwhile the TalkTV star added: "In a series of bitter, angry attacks since quitting the Royal Family and Britain, Harry has accused his father of bad parenting, cutting him off from financial support, and inflicting “genetic pain and suffering” on him that has damaged his mental health.
"He and his wife, Meghan, have also hurled endless other incendiary bombs at the royals, branding them a bunch of callous, uncaring racists."
The rift between Prince Harry and the new King became apparent during the Duke of Sussex's interview with Oprah Winfrey last year.
In the tell-all chat alongside his wife Meghan, 41, Harry accused his dad of cutting him off financially and claimed Charles stopped taking Harry's calls.
He told Oprah: "My family literally cut me off financially," Harry said in March.
"I've got what my mum left me, and without that, we would not have been able to do this. I think she saw it coming," Harry said, adding that it was the inspiration behind Harry and Meghan seeking to land a Netflix deal.
Harry also said he felt "really let down" by his father as he added: "He knows what pain feels like.
"Of course I will always love him but there's a lot of hurt that's happened and I will continue to make it one of my priorities to try and heal that."
Charles was said to have felt "deeply hurt" by Harry's words but the pair are said to have reunited on a few occasions. But, in April a source told the Mirror Charles was "at a loss" over Harry's interviews.
Meanwhile, a week before the Queen's death, Piers Morgan highlighted Meghan's interview with The Cut magazine, where she appeared to have said Harry had "lost" his father in the process of leaving the Royal Family.
But, aides later claimed the Duchess of Sussex's quote was misunderstood and she was in fact talking about her own father Thomas Markle.
Piers, however, insisted in his column: "But the truth is, Harry has been treating Charles in a similarly dismissive way, making a mockery of the couple’s supposed commitment to 'compassion'.
Meanwhile, it's been claimed by a royal author that Harry has been "insisting" that his tell-all memoir be published, despite the Queen's passing.
Speaking on GB News' Dan Wootton Tonight, royal author Tom Bower said: "I’m told tonight that Harry is insisting that his book is published in November; it’s astonishing.
"Apparently the publishers are not too certain, but he says if they don’t publish it’s a breach of contract, that’s what I’m told."
