Piers Morgan has hit out at Prince Harry’s desires to keep his military titles, a year on from ‘Megxit’.
The 55-year-old Good Morning Britain presenter has been a fervent dissenter against Harry and Meghan’s decision to leave the royal family and relocate to California.
He has claimed that the Duke of Sussex has looked “thoroughly miserable” in an essay for MailOnline and has asked where is the “cheery, cheeky young guy that everyone loved because he never took life too seriously?”
It would seem that Prince Harry is on another collision path with his grandmother, the Queen, as she is set to make a decision about his honorary military titles.
Piers has lashed out at Harry, saying his attitude has become “very tedious and rather sad”.

Last January, after Harry quit Royal duty, Piers says that he was “forced to give up being Captain General of the Royal Marines, Honorary Air Commandant of RAF Honington in Bury St Edmunds, and Commodore-in-Chief, Small Ships and Diving, Royal Naval Command for a year pending a Buckingham Palace review of ‘Megxit'”.
He has now urged Her Majesty to continue with her belief that Harry can’t be a “half-in, half-out” royal and bar him from having some of the titles bestowed upon him again.
Harry served for 10 years in the Armed Forces and served two tours of Afghanistan, rising to the rank of Captain during his career.
Piers wrote that while Harry “deserves great credit for creating the brilliant Invictus Games for wounded veterans” he maintains that “none of this justifies him being allowed to retain honorary military titles he was given through his royal status when he still performed royal duties.”

Piers continues to add that “nobody’s questioning his personal loyalty to the military…
“What is being questioned is his ability to physically commit, in the UK, to the three military organisations he wants to represent.”
Piers believes that the Duke of Sussex only wants the titles as they will “make him even more commercially appealing in a country that worships the military.”
In one last savage swipe at Harry, Piers added: “The moment he and his wife quit Britain for a new celebrity life in America, they gave up their right to trade off their royal association.”
