Piers Morgan breaks silence on Harry and Meghan documentary with brutal Kardashians dig

Piers Morgan has hit out at Harry and Meghan's Netflix documentary with a withering comparison to Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

The first part of the explosive documentary, titled simply Harry & Meghan, dropped on Netflix early this morning and fans were eager to catch a first glimpse of what the couple had to say.

Unsurprisingly, Piers wasn't hugely impressed as he watched the show and tweeted to his followers: "This is worse than Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Something I didn’t think was humanly possible. #HarryandMeghanonNetflix."

But others hit back, with one tweeting: "Still watched it though!? Not even some of their loyal “fans” have watched it yet! Like a little child on Christmas morning waking up to watch it and tweet about it hey Piers!? Top Guilty Pleasure for you imo :D."

Another joked: "I thought you would really enjoy it. Really shocked to hear it’s not your cup of tea."

Prior to the release, no press previews were available and the trailer was the first glimpse at footage used in the series.

Piers previously slammed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for using an unexpected clip of him in the promo, writing: "Princess Pinocchio & Prince Hypocrite use my voice to flog their ghastly new series. I’m traumatised by this exploitation."

The former Good Morning Britain host was famously a supporter and 'friend' of Meghan before her marriage to Harry.

However, he has since accused the Suits star of 'ditching' him, slamming the former actress for stepping down from the royal family.

Piers was seriously savage in his response to Meghan's now infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey and CBS - which led to his departure from ITV.

Many fans accused the host of being "obsessed" with the Duchess before he quit GMB when he refused to apologise for calling Meghan a liar.

The father-of-four refuted claims the mum-of-two faced mental health struggles as a senior royal, as a result of her treatment by Harry's family.

As Meghan's Netflix documentary launches, the Palace has been warned to brace themselves for their worst nightmare yet, with the Prince of Wales said to have had crisis talks with his father King Charles over the show.

One source in contact with a Netflix production insider told the Mirror: “I genuinely think it’s going to be worse than the royals can imagine.

“I’m told that it’s going to be utterly explosive and will be very damaging.”

It comes after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were said to have "betrayed the agreement they made with the Queen", according to royal sources.

The couple are believed to have not honoured an agreement made with the late monarch at Sandringham back in January 2020, which was reached shortly before they moved to the United States.

Following the meeting, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex pledged that “everything they do" would "continue to uphold the values of Her Majesty”.

A Palace statement released on behalf of the late Queen at the time also read: “Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved members of my family."

However, their loyalty to the Queen and her legacy has been questioned following their string of high-profile attacks on The Firm, including their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey last year.

During the explosive interview last year, Meghan made a number of shocking bombshell claims including that she was suicidal during her time in the royal family, accusing her in-laws of being concerned about how dark Archie's skin would be and claiming the Duchess of Cambridge made her cry.

It has been feared that Meghan and Kate Middleton will be "pitted against each other" in the documentary after the trailer showed the Sussexes claiming the Palace and the press treated them "differently" to the Prince and Princess of Wales..

The two couples shared a team of staff for much of the Sussexes' time in Britain before leaving for the US in 2020.

The docu-series will reportedly compare how Meghan and Kate were treated as well as how they were portrayed by the media, as insiders say the two women will be 'placed side by side' in the documentary in an attempt to back up the Sussexes' claim they had no choice but to quit royal life.

"Here we go again," one royal source told The Telegraph, as members and aides say they find the idea of the documentary "very wearying".

Allies of the Sussexes stressed previously there would be no major bombshells about the royal family in the production and claimed it was not intended to blame anyone.
