Piers Morgan, Meghan McCain and More Sound Off on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s UK Move

Shortly after reports emerged that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle intended to return to the United Kingdom, various critics across the world responded with strong opinions. Piers Morgan, a prominent critic of the Duchess of Sussex, expressed his thoughts on social media platform X. Initially, he posted a face emoji followed by a comment suggesting he might have to emigrate to the U.S. Morgan’s comments reflect his previous conflict with the former royal couple, stemming from his questioning of Meghan’s claims about suicidal thoughts during her interview with Oprah Winfrey. The media figure was particularly vocal about his departure from "Good Morning Britain" in 2021.

Meghan McCain, a conservative commentator in the United States, responded by highlighting her disdain for "bulls–t" and her skepticism towards "entitled grifters." McCain criticized the Sussexes, stating that they would not succeed in America and that no one cared about their status. She added, "Good luck to our friends in the U.K., they’re your problem now."

Meanwhile, British columnist Allison Pearson questioned the Sussexes' return, expressing confusion about how it would integrate with the royal family. Pearson pointed out that Harry and Meghan had previously criticized the U.K., and inquired about their plans to visit officially and whether they expected to return to Sandringham, their previous home.

British media executive Kelvin MacKenzie theorized that the move might be driven by financial reasons, citing their reduced contract with Netflix following their time in the U.S. MacKenzie suggested that the Sussexes had drained their financial resources, prompting their decision to return. Regardless, the Sussexes are reportedly moving back to the U.K., with their children starting school there and planning to reside in a non-royal home in the country.

Their status as private members of the royal family remains unchanged post-move. The reactions from Morgan, McCain, Pearson, MacKenzie, and others reflect a mix of skepticism, confusion, and criticism regarding the Sussexes' decision to return to the U.K.
