Piers Morgan praises 'smart' King Charles for evicting 'flamethrowers' Harry and Meghan

Piers Morgan has praised King Charles for his latest move to evict Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from Frogmore Cottage.

The royals, who have been living in California but had continued to keep belongings at the property, were evicted from the five-bedroomed home by Harry's father Charles, with the keys reportedly set to be handed over to Prince Andrew instead.

And in his latest TalkTV programme, presenter Piers, 57, couldn't help but compliment the King on his bold move.

As the former Good Morning Britain host, who has been vocal about his dislike for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, discussed the latest news with his guests, he labelled the move a "smart" one by the new monarch, before blasting "flamethrowers" Harry and Meghan.

Piers and guest Tessa Dunlop were involved in a heated back and forth regarding Piers' strong opinion on the couple and the potential downfall of the monarchy.

But as Tessa tried to halt Piers' views, he quickly interrupted and said: "Actually what Charles has done, in my view very smartly, is now moved to save the monarchy and its reputation from these two flamethrowers who keep wanting to trash it and burn it to the ground."

Tessa and Piers had butted heads over the couple as they remained fiercely on separate sides of the argument. However, the host mocked his guest and said he could see she has "lost the ability to rise up and defend" the pair.

He had said: "In your heart, you know Tessa Dunlop I've been right about them the whole time."

He added: "You've lost that crackle where you felt they were right."

The stickly discussion came shortly after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle broke their silence following the news of their eviction.

A spokesperson for the Sussexes released a statement saying: "We can confirm The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage."

According to Omid Scobie, one of the authors behind the biography of Harry and Meghan, Finding Freedom, the King's decision came just 24 hours after Harry released his controversial memoir Spare in January.

He claimed the couple was informed that the property was now required for "someone else" and that relations between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the Firm was at "an all-time low".
