Prince Harry says in his court case that Piers Morgan has also made his family’s life hell, including his own mother’s, Princess Diana. Here’s what you need to know.
Piers Morgan Branded A Royal Hypocrite And Bully For This Reason
In his court case against the Mirror Newspaper Group, Prince Harry told the High Court that Piers Morgan had conspired to phone hack Princess Diana and that he also apparently made some threats to throw Meghan Markle’s name in the mud if Harry did not back off with his lawsuit.
Harry said in his statement, “The thought of Piers Morgan and his band of journalists earwigging into my mother’s private and sensitive messages (in the same way as they have me) and then having given her a ‘nightmare time’ three months prior to her death in Paris, makes me feel physically sick and even more determined to hold those responsible, including Mr Morgan, accountable for their vile and entirely unjustified behavior.”
If that weren’t enough, Harry also said that Morgan threatened a “barrage of horrific personal attacks and intimidation …presumably in retaliation and in the hope that I will back down” from his court case.

What’s Next For Piers Morgan And Harry’s Court Case?
Of course, it didn’t take very long for Twitter to do its thing and also put Piers and the rest of the British tabloid industry on blast. Many of them wrote scathing commentary such as, “The same Piers Morgan who’s already admitted to listening to a private voicemail conversation between Heather Mills & Paul McCartney, will deny this of course,” along with, “The day Piers Morgan gets his karma will be so sweet, he has spent years engaging in the racist, sexist, misogynistic treatment of Meghan Markle and trashed others, when you deliberately go out of your way to try and destroy people, you deserve everything you get!”
Another Piers Morgan critic also wrote, “Every sensible individual knows that Piers Meghan’s attacks on Harry and Meghan are always about pushing him into dropping the case so he won’t be found out. I’m happy Piers Morgan is being finally called out directly by Prince Harry.”
So far Piers Morgan himself has not made any comments about the matter. Watch this space.
