Piers Morgan on Thursday live-tweeted his initial thoughts on the first few episodes of the new Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan, which chronicles the relationship of Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle.
"This is worse than Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Something I didn't think was humanly possible," Morgan wrote, referencing the reality show centered on the Kardashian-Jenner family that ran from 2007 to 2021.
In other tweets, Morgan called the couple "boring" and hit back against claims they made about racism.
"Disgusting how they're repeatedly trying to brand Britain a racist country," he wrote. "Most tolerant place in Europe, as all the coverage of their engagement/wedding showed."
Morgan criticized Meghan for comments she made about her family, including her father.
"Markle now trashing her own father, who is still recovering from a massive stroke. Ms Compassion hasn't even called him," Morgan tweeted.
Morgan has been a frequent critic of the couple, and this week he criticized footage in the trailer for the Netflix series that compared Meghan to the late Princess Diana.
During a Monday appearance on Fox & Friends, Morgan said, "Her [Markle's] attempt to put herself on the same pedestal as the most famous and pursued royal in history, I think is frankly disgraceful."
When Harry and Meghan began their relationship, Morgan spoke positively of the couple. However, his opinion of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex soured, especially after they sat for an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. During the talk with Winfrey, Harry and Meghan discussed their 2020 decision to step down as working members of the royal family. They also made claims of racism in Buckingham Palace, which led to Morgan disputing the veracity of their allegations.
In addition to his tweets about the Netflix series, Morgan wrote a review of the show for The Sun. In that article, he theorized that Harry "now seems so permanently unhappy" because he's "manipulated by a seasoned family-wrecker into abandoning the people and country he once loved."
The Thursday night edition of Piers Morgan Uncensored, which airs on TalkTV in the U.K. and Fox Nation in the U.S., will be dedicated to the host's thoughts on Harry & Meghan. Meghan's half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., is scheduled to appear on the show.
A representative for Morgan told Newsweek that his tweets and commentary elsewhere cover his feelings on Harry & Meghan.
Newsweek reached out to Netflix for comment.
