The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at Piers Morgan’s target. The TV presenter is not pleased with how the Sussex pair is advancing in their lives after quitting the royal family, especially their plans with Netflix deal. What worked as an anger-intensifier is the promise of Meghan and Harry to make “inspirational family programming”.
Morgan is finding it tough to process the fact this kind of promise has been made by those who have abandoned their families. Highlighting the jibe, he posted on Twitter, “From two people who've ditched their entire families…”
It’s not very hard to see where the presenter is going with his comment. Both Meghan and Harry haven’t quite been on good terms with their families for a long time.
Meghan’s strained relationship with her estranged father Thomas Markle Snr is known to everybody. The Duchess doesn’t get along with her father and they both have publicly acknowledged having a little rift in between.
On the other side of the big family, Meghan and Harry are not very happy with the royal family. Lack of privacy and restrictions due to royal duties forced them to step down as senior royals. In addition to that, rumors emerged that Harry and Prince William have also had a squabble and also that they are no longer in talking terms with each other.
That seemed enough but wasn’t, so the Sussexes decided to move out of the royal premises to a North America where it has all come down to a nuclear family.
Meghan and Harry are living with their one-year-old son Archie in the newly bought Santa Barbara house.
In a joint statement, the Duke and Duchess highlighted what their projects are going to be about, which has sparked a bit of a controversy.
“Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope. As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us, as is powerful storytelling through a truthful and relatable lens.”
Going by what Morgan’s comment suggests, it seems he is pointing out the satire in Sussexes' move to develop what they couldn’t do in real life. In other words, they failed to keep a good family, notwithstanding, they are going to make a show about what makes an inspirational family.
