Piers Morgan savages 'spoiled' Prince Harry over vow to make the world a 'better place'

Piers Morgan has reignited his row with the Sussexs as he branded Prince Harry 'spoiled and privileged' after the ex royal vowed to make the world a 'more equal place' for his children.

The Duke told child reporters at the Invictus Games that he will 'never, ever, ever rest' until he has made the world a better for Archie, 3, and ten-month-old Lillibet, who he shares with wife Meghan Markle.

Speakign at The Hague in the Netherlands, Harry said he wants his brood to grow up 'in a fairer, safer and more equal world'.

"It's not going to be easy but I will never, ever, ever rest until I have as a parent at least tried to make the world a better place for them because it is our responsibility that the world is the way it is now," said Harry.

He went on: "I don't think that we should be bringing children into the world unless we're going to make that commitment to make it better for them. We cannot steal your future."

But while many were impressed that his words brought the spotlight back on the global crisis, outspoken Piers was quick to point out a problem with the statement.

Retweeting the story, he fired: "More equal? A spoiled privileged prince who inherited millions & now makes 100s of millions fleecing his royal titles from his $11m Californian mansion wants EQUALITY for his kids?"

Piers has made no secret of his feelings towards Harry and Meghan, in particular to her now infamous interview with Oprah, which led to him leaving Good Morning Britain.

He recently opened up on how the problems started when the Duchess 'ghosted' him after they went out for drinks in 2016.

After exchanging messages and enjoying and afternoon together, she just 'disappeared'.

Piers told the Times last week: "I put her in a cab, she went to dinner in Mayfair, and I never heard from her again. It turned out she’d met Harry that night."

Things came to a head after the interview with Oprah, when the former GMB host said he 'didn't believe' the former Suits star over her mental health claims.

His comments sparked uproar from mental health charities with Ofcom also bombarded with complaints.

It is not the first time Harry has spoken about his desire to improve the world for his children.

The Duke said in an interview with ITV last year: "I don't think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody, but certainly when it comes to parenting, if I've experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered.

"I'm going to make sure I break that cycle so that I don't pass it on."
